The unit measures 0.98 inches in diameter with a 1.5 inches maximum stroke and an overall length of 4.65 inches. It delivers 110 lbf at initial stroke and rises to 173 lbf at full stroke, charged to 650 psi at the factory. The green color coding makes identification straightforward during setup and maintenance. This spring is installed by toolmakers, die setters, and maintenance technicians working on press tooling and fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nitrogen gas spring is suited for use in progressive dies, compound dies, and similar press tooling where consistent spring force and compact envelope size are required. The 0.98 inches body diameter and 3.07 inches body length allow it to fit in tight die pockets. The M6 mounting hole thread allows direct fastening into die plates without additional hardware. It is commonly used in both light-duty and moderate industrial press applications where a reliable, self-contained gas spring replaces conventional coil or urethane springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-charged to 650 psi initial charge pressure  -  no field charging required at installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e110 lbf initial force rising to 173 lbf at full stroke for progressive force delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 inches maximum stroke with a compact 3.07 inches body length and 4.65 inches overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6 mounting hole thread for direct integration into die plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen color coding for quick visual identification in multi-spring tooling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 176 degrees F for standard industrial press environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial die and press tooling applications requiring a 25 mm diameter nitrogen gas spring with a 38 mm stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during die build or rebuild. Depressurize and fully extend the spring before removing it from any die assembly. Verify that the mounting pocket depth and thread engagement meet the tooling design requirements before torquing fasteners. Follow the press manufacturer and applicable OSHA machine safeguarding guidelines when working on or near press tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.98 inches (25.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.472 inches (12.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (38.10 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.07 inches (78.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.65 inches (118.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Charge Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 650 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Force Initial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 110 lbf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Force Full Stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e: 173 lbf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 176 degrees F (80 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees F (0 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2-038  GR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASSOCIATED SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52114957238578,"sku":"M2-038  GR","price":146.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/82d26538aecf842a9001140e36471b09_57444a29-3ca0-4fc6-8cec-76137112ea93.jpg?v=1790079444","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/associated-spring-raymond-m2-038-gr-nitrogen-gas-spring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
