Gardner Spring V6C-SS Extension Spring 0.5in Od Stainless

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING V6C-SS is a stainless steel extension spring designed for applications requiring reliable tensile force across a range of mechanical and industrial assemblies. With a 0.5-inch outside diameter and a 0.0625-inch wire diameter, this spring delivers a spring rate of 4.75 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 16.71 pounds. Its plain finish stainless steel construction resists corrosion in demanding environments. Maintenance technicians, equipment fabricators, and trade professionals working on HVAC, refrigeration, or mechanical control assemblies commonly specify springs of this type for component linkages, door closures, and actuator return mechanisms.

This extension spring suits residential and light commercial equipment installations where a compact, corrosion-resistant tensile spring is required. The 4.0-inch overall body length extends to a maximum of 6.71 inches under load, providing a controlled range of travel. An initial tension of 2.9 pounds keeps the coils closed until the spring is actively extended. Sold in a package quantity of three, this spring is well suited for service stock or replacement applications in mechanical and HVAC-related equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock extension spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5-inch OD, 4.0-inch body length, stainless steel tensile spring with a 4.75 lb/in spring rate.

Installation Notes

Extension springs should be installed by qualified technicians familiar with mechanical assembly procedures. Depressurize or de-energize any system before removing or installing springs to prevent unexpected release of stored energy. Use appropriate spring installation tools to avoid overstretching the spring beyond its maximum extended length of 6.71 inches, which can permanently deform the coils. Inspect hooks and attachment points for wear or misalignment before installation.
