Gardner Spring GT6350018-ML Torsion Spring 180 Deg

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GT6350018-ML is a steel torsion spring designed for mechanical assemblies that require controlled rotational force through a 180-degree deflection angle. With a coil outside diameter of 0.767 inches and a wire diameter of 0.063 inches, this spring is built for precision fit in tight-tolerance applications. It features a left-hand wind direction and 5 active coils, delivering 5.518 in/lb of torque at leg length. The 2.000-inch leg length and 0.500-inch maximum tool size make it compatible with standard installation tooling. This part is typically installed by mechanical maintenance technicians, OEM assemblers, and field service professionals working on light mechanical or HVAC equipment.

This torsion spring suits applications where a 180-degree return force is needed within a compact spring envelope. The 0.500-inch rod size rating and left-hand wind orientation make it specific to assemblies that require counterclockwise loading. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical systems, damper actuators, linkages, and similar mechanisms where consistent torque delivery and repeatable deflection are critical to proper operation.

Key Features

• 180-degree deflection angle for half-rotation torsion applications
• Left-hand wind direction for counterclockwise-loaded assemblies
• 0.767-inch coil outside diameter with 0.063-inch wire diameter for precision fit
• 5.518 in/lb torque at leg length for predictable rotational force
• 5 active coils with 2.000-inch leg length
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style torsion spring replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a left-hand wind, 180-degree deflection spring with a 0.500-inch maximum rod or tool size.

Installation Notes

Torsion springs store rotational energy and must be handled with care during installation. Ensure the assembly is fully de-energized and depressurized before removing or installing any spring component. Use tooling that does not exceed the 0.500-inch maximum tool size to avoid coil distortion. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies.
