Guden GGN43-040-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 40 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN43-040-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent 40-pound extension force throughout its full stroke. Nitrogen gas pressurizes the cylinder to deliver smooth, controlled motion without the force variation found in adjustable units. The rod measures 0.24 inches in diameter and rides inside a 0.59-inch tube, offering a 3.15-inch stroke over a 9.6-inch extended length. The piston carries a black nitride coating for corrosion resistance, and the body receives an epoxy finish. Maintenance technicians, equipment builders, and fabricators install this type of component in industrial enclosures, access panels, tooling fixtures, and machinery lids that require reliable assisted opening and controlled closure.

This gas spring suits applications where a fixed, non-adjustable force output is acceptable and preferred for simplicity. Typical installations include hinged access doors on control cabinets, equipment covers, and fabricated enclosures in light industrial and commercial settings. The M6 x 1.00 threaded end fitting accepts a plastic ball socket end fitting type C, allowing angular articulation during operation. It is sold individually with no minimum order restriction beyond one unit.

Key Features

• Fixed 40-pound force output delivered by nitrogen gas charge for consistent performance over the full stroke
• Black nitride piston coating resists corrosion and reduces surface wear
• Epoxy-coated tube finish provides additional protection in light-duty industrial environments
• Plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread allows articulating movement during travel
• 3.15-inch stroke within a compact 9.6-inch extended body suits space-constrained enclosure applications
• Steel construction throughout for structural rigidity under repeated cycling

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed force gas spring replacement or new installation component for hinged access panels, equipment enclosures, and fabricated machinery covers requiring a 40-pound assist force with M6 x 1.00 ball socket end fittings.

Installation Notes

Gas springs of this type are typically installed by equipment fabricators, maintenance technicians, or industrial millwrights familiar with hinge geometry and force calculations. Before replacing an existing unit, relieve any load from the panel or door and secure it independently to prevent uncontrolled movement. Verify that the mounting points align with the ball socket end fitting articulation range to avoid side-loading the rod during operation. Do not drill into, cut, or attempt to modify the pressurized cylinder body.
