Guden GGN44-040-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 40 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN44-040-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent, controlled linear force in industrial and commercial applications. This nitrogen-charged spring delivers 40 lb of force with a 12-inch extended length and a 3.5-inch stroke. The rod measures 0.24 inches in diameter and the tube measures 0.59 inches in diameter. The piston features a black nitride coating for wear resistance, and the body carries an epoxy coating for corrosion protection. It is installed by maintenance technicians, fabricators, and mechanical engineers working on equipment covers, lids, hatches, and access panels.

This gas spring is suited for light-duty fixed-force applications where a set load is required throughout the full stroke. Typical installations include machine enclosures, equipment cabinets, toolboxes, agricultural equipment panels, and specialty fabricated assemblies. The plastic ball socket end fitting allows for straightforward pivoting attachment to standard mounting hardware. The compressed length of 8.5 inches must be accounted for in the design envelope when specifying this part.

Key Features

• Fixed force design delivers consistent 40 lb output through the entire stroke
• Nitrogen gas force mechanism for smooth, controlled motion
• Black nitride piston coating for extended wear life
• Epoxy body coating for corrosion resistance
• Plastic ball socket end fitting for pivoting installation
• M6 x 1.00 thread size on end fitting for standard hardware compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement fixed force gas spring for equipment lids, access panels, and enclosure covers requiring a 40 lb fixed load with a 3.5-inch stroke and plastic ball socket end fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or fabricators. Relieve all mechanical load and de-energize associated equipment before replacing or installing a gas spring. Confirm that the mounting geometry, compressed length of 8.5 inches, and end fitting thread size match the application before final installation. Do not exceed the rated force capacity or modify the gas spring body.
