Gardner Spring V5C Extension Spring 21.62 Lb Max Load

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING V5C is a steel extension spring designed to store and release tensile energy in mechanical assemblies. It features a 0.58-inch outside diameter, a 0.072-inch wire diameter, and a spring rate of 6.57 lb/in. The overall free length is 4 inches, extending to a maximum of 5.99 inches under load. With a maximum work load of 21.62 pounds and an initial tension of 5.80 pounds, this spring is built for consistent, repeatable performance in commercial and industrial applications. It ships in a package of 3 pieces and is suited for installation by maintenance technicians, equipment assemblers, and trade professionals working with mechanical tension systems.

The V5C extension spring is used in a range of mechanical and equipment applications where tensile force must be stored or returned across a gap. Typical install scenarios include HVAC equipment linkages, panel latches, door return mechanisms, and general light-duty mechanical assemblies. Its galvanized zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and moderate-exposure environments. The compact 0.58-inch OD makes it suitable for tight-clearance mounting locations in residential and light commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with the equipment being serviced. De-energize and lock out all mechanical and electrical systems before removing or installing springs under load. Verify hook orientation and end-loop style match the application before installation. Do not stretch the spring beyond its maximum extended length of 5.99 inches, as permanent deformation or failure may result.
