Guden GGN45-020-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 20 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN45-020-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent, controlled extension force across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It operates on compressed nitrogen gas acting against a black nitride-coated piston, delivering a steady 20 lb of force throughout its full 5-inch stroke. The rod measures 0.24 inches in diameter and the outer tube measures 0.59 inches in diameter. Extended length is 14.5 inches and compressed length is 9.5 inches. The body carries an epoxy coating for corrosion resistance. Maintenance technicians, equipment fabricators, and industrial installers are the typical trades that specify and fit this component.

This gas spring suits applications where a consistent opening or holding force is required without adjustment - such as access panels, equipment lids, enclosure doors, and tooling fixtures in light industrial and commercial settings. The plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread allows straightforward mounting to standard ball stud hardware. Its compact stroke and fixed force rating make it well suited to space-constrained assemblies where a predictable, repeatable force curve is required.

Key Features

• Fixed force design delivers consistent 20 lb extension force throughout the full stroke
• Nitrogen gas force mechanism provides smooth, controlled motion
• Black nitride piston coating for wear resistance and corrosion protection
• Epoxy-coated outer tube for added durability in industrial environments
• Plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread for easy mounting to standard ball studs
• Compact 5-inch stroke in a 14.5-inch extended package suits space-limited installations

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed force gas spring replacement or new-installation component for equipment panels, access doors, and industrial fixtures requiring a plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread and 20 lb extension force.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with gas spring mounting requirements. Before fitting, relieve any stored mechanical energy in the assembly and confirm that the ball stud hardware matches the M6 x 1.00 thread specification of the end fitting. Gas springs must be mounted with the rod end oriented downward whenever possible to ensure proper internal lubrication and seal life. Do not attempt to disassemble, drill, or modify the gas spring body, as the internal nitrogen charge is under pressure.
