Manufacturer:
The Blodgett 17712 Main Extension Spring is an essential part that is used to provide tension in a mechanical assembly by stretching and contracting. It has 32 coils, and it can be extended and retracted under load. This spring is 8" long and 1-3/4" in diameter and is installed in ovens, equipment or machinery where it joins moving parts and ensures that there is the correct tension. Its coiled design gives it a uniform force and fits well in the specified mounting points of the assembly.

Product Notes

  • Extension Spring, Main Spring, 8" X 1-3/4" Overall,
  • 4-3/4" Body Only, 32 Coils
  • Blodgett 1048, 1060
Provides controlled mechanical tension for connected components within the oven door assembly. The Blodgett 17712 Main Extension Spring features 32 coils and measures 8" × 1-3/4", providing the specified spring configuration for its intended mechanical application. As the spring extends and contracts during operation, it stores and releases mechanical energy to support consistent movement of the connected hardware.

Spring Tension:
Generates a restoring force when the spring is extended from its relaxed position. The stored mechanical energy is released as the spring contracts, providing tension to the connected mechanism. Consistent spring tension helps maintain predictable movement throughout repeated operating cycles.

Coil Configuration:
Uses a 32-coil configuration designed to provide the required extension characteristics for the associated mechanical assembly. The number, arrangement, and dimensions of the coils influence the spring's available extension and restoring force.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Oven Door Spring if it is stretched, broken, deformed, corroded, or no longer provides the required spring tension. The part number 17712, 32-coil configuration, and 8" × 1-3/4" dimensions should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct extension spring is selected. Replace the spring if deterioration affects tension, positioning, mechanical support, or normal oven operation.

Common Failure Symptoms:

  • Spring appears stretched beyond its normal configuration.
  • Coils are bent, deformed, or damaged.
  • Corrosion is visible on the spring.
  • Spring no longer provides the expected tension.
  • Door movement is affected by reduced or inconsistent spring force.

Equipment Compatibility:
The Blodgett 17712 Door Spring is specified for assemblies requiring this particular spring configuration. Verify the equipment model, part number, coil count, dimensions, and mounting arrangement before purchase.

FAQS
Customer Questions
What maintenance is required for the Blodgett 17712 Main Extension Spring?

Regularly inspect the spring for signs of wear, rust, or deformation. Lubricate lightly if recommended to prevent corrosion. Ensure proper alignment during installation and avoid overstretching. Safety precautions include wearing gloves to prevent pinching or injury.

What are common issues with the Blodgett 17712 Main Extension Spring?

  • Loss of tension or reduced elasticity.
  • Rust or corrosion buildup.
  • Breakage or coil deformation.
  • Misalignment is causing improper operation.

What is the Blodgett 17712 Oven Door Spring used for?

The Blodgett 17712 is used as a mechanical spring within a oven door assembly. It assists the door during its opening and closing movement.

How does the Blodgett 17712 support oven door movement?

The spring provides mechanical force as the door moves through its operating cycle. This assistance helps support the movement of the oven door within its hardware assembly.

Why does the Blodgett 17712 have a coiled design?

The coiled design allows the spring to flex and store mechanical energy during door movement. This construction enables the spring to provide force as part of the door mechanism.

What should buyers consider when identifying the Blodgett 17712?

Buyers should match the component type, oven door application, and spring configuration with the existing door hardware. These characteristics help distinguish the required door spring from other oven hardware.
