Gardner Spring GT2118736-MR Torsion Spring 360 Deg

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GT2118736-MR is a right-hand wound torsion spring designed for precision mechanical assemblies requiring controlled rotational force. Built from steel with a 0.021-inch wire diameter and 0.271-inch outside coil diameter, this spring delivers 0.234 inch-pounds of torque at full leg length across a 360-degree deflection angle. With 8.5 active coils, it provides consistent, repeatable torsional performance in compact spring-loaded mechanisms. This spring is sized for applications requiring a 0.187-inch maximum tool size and a 0.187-inch rod size, making it suited for tight-tolerance component installations handled by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals.

This torsion spring is used in light-duty mechanical and electromechanical assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and general industrial equipment. Its compact geometry and defined torque output make it a practical replacement or service component in spring-actuated linkages, door latches, damper mechanisms, and similar hardware. The 1.000-inch leg length accommodates standard fastening configurations found in residential and light commercial equipment enclosures. Sold in packages of six, it suits both service replacement and light production use.

Key Features

• 360-degree deflection angle for full rotational travel in torsion applications
• Right-hand wind direction for standard clockwise-load assemblies
• 0.021-inch wire diameter with 0.271-inch outside coil diameter for compact fitment
• 8.5 active coils delivering 0.234 inch-pounds of torque at leg length
• 1.000-inch leg length for direct drop-in replacement in standard spring seats
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical cycling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement torsion spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a right-hand wound spring with 0.271-inch outside diameter, 0.021-inch wire diameter, and a 0.187-inch maximum rod or tool size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC service technicians. De-energize all equipment and relieve any stored mechanical tension before removing or installing torsion springs. Use the appropriate mandrel or tool sized at or below 0.187 inches to seat and orient the spring correctly without distorting the coil geometry. Avoid over-deflecting the spring beyond the rated 360-degree travel, as this can cause permanent set or failure.
