Gardner Spring GT1814018-MR Torsion Spring 180 Degree

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GT1814018-MR is a right-hand wound torsion spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies where precise angular deflection and consistent torque are required. Built from steel with a 0.018-inch wire diameter and a 0.216-inch outside coil diameter, this spring operates over a 180-degree deflection angle and delivers 0.15 inch-pounds of torque at leg length. Its compact 4-coil construction keeps the overall footprint small, making it well suited for tight-clearance applications in instruments, actuators, valves, and light mechanical linkages. Technicians working in HVAC controls, plumbing fixtures, or electrical hardware assemblies will find this spring a direct-fit replacement for original equipment components sharing the same geometry.

This torsion spring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems where a small-format, right-hand wind spring is required. Typical applications include damper actuators, door latch mechanisms, control linkages, and instrumentation assemblies. The 0.750-inch leg length and 0.140-inch maximum tool size make it compatible with standard arbor tooling used during installation or removal. It is packaged in quantities of 6 per package and sold with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 180-degree deflection angle provides a precise half-turn actuation range
• Right-hand direction of wind for compatibility with standard right-hand arbor assemblies
• 0.018-inch wire diameter and 4 coils deliver consistent, repeatable torque in compact spaces
• 0.216-inch outside coil diameter suits tight-clearance mechanical assemblies
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical and light-load applications
• 0.140-inch maximum tool size simplifies installation with standard tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement torsion spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a right-hand wind spring with a 0.216-inch outside diameter, 0.018-inch wire diameter, 4 coils, and a 180-degree deflection angle.

Installation Notes

Torsion springs of this type are typically installed by mechanical technicians or HVAC service professionals during actuator or linkage service. Relieve all mechanical tension and de-energize any associated actuator or control before removing the existing spring. Use appropriately sized arbor tooling not exceeding the 0.140-inch maximum tool size to avoid deforming the coils during installation. Follow applicable mechanical assembly guidelines and inspect adjacent components for wear before reinstalling the assembly.
