Guden GGN31-100-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 100 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN31-100-C is a fixed force gas spring rated at 100 pounds of force, designed to provide consistent linear compression and extension control in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The spring features a 0.39-inch rod diameter and a 0.87-inch tube diameter, with an extended length of 27.8 inches and a compressed length of 17.8 inches, yielding a 10-inch stroke. Nitrogen gas serves as the force mechanism, delivering smooth, predictable actuation. The rod is finished with a black nitride piston coating for corrosion resistance, and the body carries an epoxy coating for additional durability. End fittings use a plastic ball socket connection with M6 x 1.00 thread sizing. This part is typically installed by mechanical assemblers, millwrights, or OEM equipment technicians.

Fixed force gas springs like the GGN31-100-C are used in applications requiring controlled lid, door, or panel actuation, such as equipment enclosures, machine guards, workstation lids, and access hatches. The fixed force design means the spring delivers a constant rated force throughout the stroke without adjustment capability, making it appropriate for assemblies where consistent load support is required and force tuning is not needed. Steel construction with protective coatings suits light industrial and commercial equipment environments.

Key Features

• Fixed force nitrogen gas mechanism delivers consistent 100 lb force throughout the full 10-inch stroke
• Black nitride piston coating provides corrosion and wear resistance on the rod
• Epoxy body coating adds a secondary layer of protection against environmental exposure
• Plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread allows for standard pivot-mount installation
• Steel construction suited for durable, repeatable mechanical actuation in industrial assemblies
• 27.8-inch extended length and 17.8-inch compressed length accommodate medium-range panel and lid geometries

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed force gas spring replacement or new-installation component for industrial equipment enclosures, machine guards, access panels, and hinged lids requiring a plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread and 100 lb constant force.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians familiar with gas spring mounting geometry. Relieve any preload or mechanical tension on the panel or lid before removing an existing gas spring. Verify that mounting bracket geometry and ball stud diameter are compatible with the plastic ball socket fitting before installation. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the gas spring cylinder, as internal nitrogen pressure presents a safety hazard.
