Guden GGN47-080-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 80 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN47-080-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent, controlled linear force in industrial and mechanical applications. Charged with nitrogen gas, it delivers a rated capacity of 80 pounds throughout its full stroke. The rod measures 0.24 inches in diameter and the tube measures 0.59 inches in diameter, with an extended length of 17.19 inches and a compressed length of 11.01 inches, yielding a 6.18-inch stroke. The piston carries a black nitride coating for corrosion resistance, and the exterior receives an epoxy finish for added durability. End fittings use a plastic ball socket with M6 x 1.00 thread, allowing straightforward mounting alignment.

Fixed force gas springs like the GGN47-080-C are used in equipment lids, access panels, machine guards, tooling fixtures, and ergonomic workstation components where a set counterbalance force is required without adjustment. The 80-pound force rating suits light-to-medium-duty industrial assemblies. This part is typically specified by mechanical engineers and installed by maintenance technicians or machine builders in manufacturing, material handling, and industrial equipment environments.

Key Features

• Fixed 80-pound nitrogen gas force for consistent, repeatable performance
• Black nitride piston coating resists corrosion and wear
• Epoxy exterior finish provides additional surface protection
• Plastic ball socket end fitting with M6 x 1.00 thread for flexible mounting orientation
• 17.19-inch extended length and 6.18-inch stroke suit mid-range access panel applications
• Steel construction for structural integrity under cyclic loading

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed force gas spring replacement or new-installation component for industrial equipment, access covers, and mechanical assemblies requiring an 80-pound counterbalance force with M6 x 1.00 ball socket end fittings.

Installation Notes

Gas springs must be installed with the rod end oriented downward during normal operation unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise for the specific mounting configuration. Relieve any load or counterbalance the panel before removing an existing gas spring to prevent uncontrolled movement. Verify that mounting hardware is rated for the full gas spring force and that ball socket pivot points are clean and free of debris before installation. This work is typically performed by maintenance technicians or machine builders following applicable equipment safety lockout and tagout procedures.
