Gardner Spring GT5123409-ML Torsion Spring 90 Deg

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GT5123409-ML is a steel torsion spring engineered for precise rotational force applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.408 inch outside diameter, a 0.051 inch wire diameter, and a 90-degree deflection angle with a left-hand wind direction. The spring carries 4.25 active coils and delivers 3.107 inch-pounds of torque at leg length, making it well suited for compact mechanisms where consistent return force and repeatable angular deflection are critical. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight component typically installed by mechanical technicians and assemblers working on small-device or equipment sub-assemblies.

This torsion spring is used in applications requiring a controlled 90-degree rotation with left-hand wind bias. With a 2.000 inch leg length and a maximum tool size of 0.234 inches, it fits tight-clearance installation scenarios common in light industrial equipment, appliance mechanisms, and precision hardware assemblies. Professionals sourcing this spring for replacement or OEM-equivalent use should verify winding direction and deflection angle against the original specification before installation.

Key Features

• 90-degree deflection angle for precise rotational positioning
• Left-hand wind direction for directionally specific torque applications
• 0.408 inch coil outside diameter for compact mechanical fits
• 0.051 inch wire diameter with 4.25 active coils for consistent spring rate
• 3.107 inch-pounds torque at leg length for predictable force output
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical cycling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style torsion spring replacement for compact mechanical assemblies requiring a left-hand wind, 90-degree deflection, and a 0.408 inch outside diameter coil.

Installation Notes

Torsion springs store rotational energy and should be handled with appropriate care to avoid uncontrolled release during removal or installation. Confirm the winding direction and deflection angle match the original component before fitting. Use a tool no larger than 0.234 inches to engage the spring legs without distorting the coils. Depressurize or de-energize the host assembly fully before beginning service work.
