With an outside diameter of 0.5 inches and a wire diameter of 0.0625 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 2.85 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 16.7 pounds. The free length is 6 inches and the maximum extended length is 10.52 inches. Initial tension is rated at 3.3 pounds. It is suited for installation by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, or trade professionals working on equipment that demands precise spring return force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extension spring is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include HVAC damper linkages, control panel assemblies, door latch mechanisms, and general industrial equipment requiring repeatable extension force. The stainless steel construction with plain finish makes it well suited for humid or chemically active environments. Sold as a single piece, it is a direct drop-in component for assemblies specifying these dimensional and load parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or harsh service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 2.85 lb\/in delivers consistent, predictable extension force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 16.7 pounds supports light-duty to medium-duty tensile applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial tension of 3.3 pounds keeps the spring closed under no-load conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length of 6 inches with maximum extended length of 10.52 inches allows significant travel range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain finish with no additional coating for compatibility with a wide range of assembly environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-replacement or new-installation extension spring for mechanical assemblies specifying a 0.5-inch outside diameter, 0.0625-inch wire diameter, and a 2.85 lb\/in spring rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtension springs store energy under load and should be installed and removed with appropriate hand protection and eye protection to guard against accidental release. Verify that mounting hooks or anchor points can bear the maximum work load of 16.7 pounds before installation. De-energize or lock out any mechanical system before replacing a spring component per applicable OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Do not stretch the spring beyond its rated maximum extended length of 10.52 inches, as permanent deformation or failure may result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.52 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.85 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: V23C-SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52106323296562,"sku":"V23C-SS","price":16.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/abca632445310fffa9ddb5c48ac86cea.jpg?v=1790073412","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-v23c-ss-extension-spring-0-5in-od-16-7lb","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
