With an outside diameter of 0.64 inches and a wire diameter of 0.08 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 3.51 lb\/in and a maximum work load of 26.38 pounds. The overall free length is 8 inches, with a maximum extended length of 12.5 inches, giving technicians a clear working range for load calculations. Initial tension is rated at 7.30 pounds. The zinc-plated galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor service environments. Each package contains 3 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V38C suits mechanical assemblies that require controlled extension force across a moderate load range. Typical applications include HVAC equipment linkages, door and panel tension mechanisms, industrial machine components, and general-purpose tensioning hardware. This spring is appropriate wherever a compact, medium-duty extension spring is needed and where corrosion exposure is a factor. Installers in HVAC, mechanical, and industrial service trades select springs in this specification range for replacement and new-build work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.51 lb\/in spring rate for predictable, linear load response\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e26.38 lb maximum work load supports medium-duty tensioning requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12.5 inches maximum extended length provides adequate working travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized and zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.08 inch wire diameter and 0.64 inch OD in a compact 8 inch free length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 3 pieces, minimizing downtime on multi-spring assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit extension spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.64 inch OD, 8 inch free length, and 3.51 lb\/in spring rate in steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtension springs should be installed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Always relieve all tension from the existing spring assembly before removal and use appropriate safety precautions, as springs store energy and can cause injury if released unexpectedly. Verify that the replacement spring matches the required OD, wire diameter, spring rate, and extended length for the specific application before installation. Do not exceed the rated maximum work load of 26.38 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.51 lb\/in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Tension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.30 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Free Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Extended Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized, Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.67 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: V38C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51976280473906,"sku":"V38C","price":24.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/08b58e9ba487181620f41dc459701cd5.jpg?v=1789978661","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-v38c-extension-spring-26-38-lb-max-load","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
