Gardner Spring V36C-SS Extension Spring 43.71 Lb 0.84 in Od

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING V36C-SS is a stainless steel extension spring engineered for applications requiring reliable tensile force and corrosion resistance. With an outside diameter of 0.84 inches and a wire diameter of 0.1055 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 6.36 lb/in and a maximum work load of 43.71 lb. The overall free length is 8.0 inches, extending to a maximum of 13.05 inches under load. An initial tension of 2.6 lb holds the coils closed until that threshold is exceeded. Licensed mechanical contractors, millwrights, OEM assembly technicians, and maintenance professionals working with spring-loaded mechanisms install this type of component.

This extension spring is suited for light industrial, commercial, and OEM applications where resistance to moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures makes stainless steel the preferred material choice. Typical use cases include machine guards, door closures, counterbalance assemblies, and spring-return actuator linkages where a consistent spring rate and defined load limit are required. The plain finish requires no additional treatment prior to installation.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without surface coating
• Spring rate of 6.36 lb/in delivers predictable, linear force over the extension range
• Maximum work load of 43.71 lb supports moderate tensile load applications
• Initial tension of 2.6 lb keeps coils closed under no-load conditions
• Extends from 8.0 inches free length to 13.05 inches maximum extended length
• Plain finish - no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate adjacent components

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-replacement or OEM-style extension spring for assemblies requiring a 0.84-inch OD stainless steel spring with a 6.36 lb/in spring rate and 43.71 lb maximum work load.

Installation Notes

Extension springs store energy under tension - always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when compressing or extending the spring during installation or removal. Verify that attachment hooks or end loops at both anchor points are fully seated before applying load. Confirm the installed free length and extension limit match the design envelope of the assembly; exceeding the maximum extended length can permanently deform the spring. This component should be installed by qualified mechanical or maintenance personnel familiar with spring-loaded mechanism safety practices.
