Guden GGN40-020-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 20 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN40-020-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent, controlled linear force in industrial and mechanical assembly applications. Charged with nitrogen gas, it delivers a rated capacity of 20 pounds through a 2-inch stroke length, with a fully extended length of 7.5 inches and a compressed length of 5.5 inches. The rod measures 0.24 inches in diameter and the outer tube measures 0.59 inches in diameter. The piston receives a black nitride coating for wear resistance, and the exterior carries an epoxy finish for corrosion protection. End fitting connection is a plastic ball socket with M6 x 1.00 thread size.

Fixed force gas springs of this type are used in light-duty industrial equipment, enclosure lids, access panels, tooling fixtures, and machinery guards where a consistent assist force is needed to hold or support a load. The compact stroke and small-bore tube diameter make the GGN40-020-C well suited for tight-space assemblies in manufacturing, automation, and equipment maintenance environments. Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or millwrights as part of an OEM build or field replacement.

Key Features

• Fixed 20-pound nitrogen gas force for predictable, consistent load assistance
• Black nitride piston coating for improved wear and corrosion resistance
• Epoxy exterior finish adds additional protection against environmental exposure
• Plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread for standard connection
• Compact 2-inch stroke in a 7.5-inch extended length package
• Steel construction for durability in industrial service

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed force gas spring replacement or OEM component for light-duty industrial equipment, enclosure assemblies, and machinery requiring a 20-pound assist force with a 0.59-inch tube diameter and plastic ball socket end fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical technician. Before servicing or replacing a gas spring, relieve any stored mechanical energy in the assembly and support the load independently before removing the existing spring. Confirm thread engagement on the ball socket fitting meets the equipment manufacturer specification before returning the assembly to service. Gas springs are pressurized components and must never be drilled, welded, incinerated, or disassembled.
