Associated Spring Raymond GSNI225050 Shaft Gas Spring

Product Description

The ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND GSNI225050 is a shaft-style gas spring with hydraulic damping, designed for controlled extension force in industrial and mechanical applications. Built from stainless steel with a black nitride finish, this unit delivers 50 pounds of extension capacity and an extension force of 68 pounds. The rod and tube each measure 0.71 inches in diameter, giving the assembly a compact, matched-diameter profile. Working direction is extension, with a spring rate of 2.3 pounds per inch. Ball socket end fittings with M6 x 1 threaded connections allow for straightforward mounting in a wide range of fixture configurations. Licensed mechanical and industrial technicians typically install this component.

This gas spring is suited for applications requiring consistent, gas-powered extension force with controlled stroke travel. The extended length of 18.5 inches and compressed length of 9.25 inches provide a stroke length of 7.76 inches, making it appropriate for equipment panels, access hatches, lids, and machinery covers in both light industrial and commercial settings. The stainless steel construction supports use in environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction with black nitride finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• 50-pound extension capacity with 68-pound extension force
• 7.76-inch stroke length between 9.25-inch compressed and 18.5-inch extended positions
• Ball socket end fittings with M6 x 1 threaded connection for secure, articulating mount points
• Gas force mechanism with extension working direction for positive, controlled opening action
• Spring rate of 2.3 pounds per inch for predictable load response

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement shaft gas spring for industrial equipment, machinery enclosures, and access panels requiring extension-type gas spring support with M6 x 1 threaded ball socket fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical technician or millwright. Depressurize or power down any associated equipment before removing an existing gas spring. Ensure mounting hardware matches the M6 x 1 thread specification and that ball socket seats are clean and properly aligned before torquing fasteners. Do not compress or extend the spring beyond its rated stroke limits during installation or service.
