Guden GGN43-020-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 20 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN43-020-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent, controlled linear force in industrial and commercial applications. Charged with nitrogen gas, it delivers a rated capacity of 20 pounds throughout its 3.15-inch stroke. The rod diameter measures 0.24 inches and the tube diameter measures 0.59 inches, giving it a compact profile suited for space-constrained mounting configurations. The piston carries a black nitride coating for corrosion resistance, and the exterior tube is finished with an epoxy coating. End fittings use a plastic ball socket connection with M6 x 1.00 thread sizing. Installation is handled by mechanical technicians, fabricators, and industrial equipment assemblers.

Fixed force gas springs like the GGN43-020-C are used in industrial machinery, cabinetry, tool enclosures, equipment access panels, and ergonomic lift assist mechanisms. The fixed force design means output force remains constant and is not adjustable in the field. With a 9.6-inch extended length and a compressed length of 6.45 inches, this spring fits applications requiring a moderate stroke in a relatively short body. The plastic ball socket end fitting allows for a degree of angular articulation at the mounting point, which is useful when the load path is not perfectly linear.

Key Features

• Fixed force output of 20 pounds, nitrogen gas charged for consistent performance
• Black nitride piston coating resists corrosion and surface wear
• Epoxy-coated tube finish for additional environmental protection
• Plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread for flexible mounting articulation
• 3.15-inch stroke with 9.6-inch extended length and 6.45-inch compressed length
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement fixed force gas spring for industrial equipment, access panels, and lift-assist assemblies requiring a 20-pound force, 0.24-inch rod diameter, 0.59-inch tube diameter, and plastic ball socket end fittings with M6 x 1.00 thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or equipment assemblers familiar with gas spring mounting hardware. Before servicing or replacing a gas spring, relieve any load on the assembly and secure the panel or lid mechanically so it cannot fall. Confirm that mounting bracket geometry and pivot point alignment allow for the ball socket articulation range before final assembly. Do not drill, weld, heat, or attempt to disassemble a nitrogen-charged gas spring cylinder.
