Gardner Spring GT7850018-ML Torsion Spring 180 Deg

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING GT7850018-ML is a left-hand-wound torsion spring designed for mechanical assemblies requiring controlled rotational force and precise angular deflection. Built from steel, this spring features a 0.803-inch outside diameter and a 0.078-inch wire diameter across 6 coils, delivering 10.446 inch-pounds of torque at full leg length. With a 180-degree deflection angle and a 2.000-inch leg length, it suits applications where consistent torsional return force is critical. Installation is performed by mechanical technicians and maintenance professionals working with spring-loaded assemblies, actuators, hinges, or similar mechanisms.

This torsion spring is suited for use in light mechanical, industrial, and HVAC component assemblies where a left-hand-wound steel spring with a 0.5-inch maximum tool size and 0.5-inch rod size is required. The 180-degree deflection range makes it appropriate for pivot, latch, and return-force applications in both residential and commercial equipment. The 6-coil configuration provides a compact profile for tight-clearance installations.

Key Features

• Left-hand wind direction for correct torque orientation in LH-configured assemblies
• 180-degree deflection angle suits pivot and return-force applications
• 10.446 inch-pounds torque at leg length for predictable load performance
• 0.803-inch coil outside diameter fits standard bore and housing dimensions
• Steel construction provides durability under repeated cyclic loading
• 0.5-inch maximum tool size and 0.5-inch rod size for straightforward installation tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement torsion spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a left-hand-wound steel spring with a 0.803-inch outside diameter, 0.078-inch wire diameter, and 180-degree deflection angle.

Installation Notes

Torsion spring installation should be performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Relieve all stored energy in the existing spring before removal, and de-energize or lock out the associated equipment per applicable safety procedures. Use a tool no larger than 0.5 inches maximum to wind or seat the spring to avoid coil distortion. Verify left-hand wind orientation before installation to ensure correct torque direction.
