Guden GGN40-080-X Fixed Force Gas Spring 80 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN40-080-X is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent, controlled linear force throughout its full stroke. Built from steel with an epoxy-coated finish and a black nitride piston, this unit delivers an 80-pound (356 N) force output across a 2-inch stroke. The rod measures 0.24 inches in diameter and the tube measures 0.59 inches in diameter, giving it a compact profile suited to tight mounting envelopes. Licensed trades and OEM equipment assemblers install this type of component wherever a reliable, maintenance-free counterbalance or assist mechanism is required.

Fixed force gas springs like the GGN40-080-X are used in industrial equipment panels, machine access covers, toolboxes, medical carts, and similar applications where the full extension force must remain constant regardless of position in the stroke. With a 7.5-inch extended length and a 2-inch stroke, this unit fits applications requiring a short-travel, high-force counterbalance in a small footprint. The threaded end fitting allows direct fastening to compatible threaded mounts or end fittings without additional hardware adapters.

Key Features

• Fixed force output of 80 pounds across the full 2-inch stroke
• Black nitride piston coating for corrosion resistance and smooth travel
• Epoxy-coated exterior finish for additional surface protection
• Threaded end fitting for direct, secure mechanical attachment
• Steel construction for durability in industrial and commercial environments
• Compact 7.5-inch extended length suits space-restricted mounting locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed force gas spring for industrial equipment panels, enclosures, and access covers requiring a threaded end fitting with a 0.24-inch rod diameter and 0.59-inch tube diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical or equipment assembly technicians. De-energize and fully support any panel, lid, or cover before removing the existing gas spring to prevent uncontrolled movement. Verify that the mounting hardware thread spec matches the threaded end fitting before installation. Do not exceed the rated 80-pound force application or install in orientations not specified by the equipment manufacturer.
