Guden GGN48-020-X Fixed Force Gas Spring 20 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN48-020-X 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 20 pounds throughout its 8-inch stroke. The rod measures 0.24 inches in diameter and rides inside a 0.59-inch diameter tube, with an extended length of 19.68 inches and a compressed length of 11.68 inches. The piston carries a black nitride coating for wear resistance, and the exterior receives an epoxy coating for corrosion protection. Threaded end fittings allow for secure, repeatable mounting. Licensed tradespeople and machine builders install this type of component in lids, hatches, access panels, and equipment enclosures.

This gas spring suits light- to medium-duty applications where a fixed, predictable extension force is required. Typical installations include industrial equipment covers, electrical enclosure doors, machine guards, and similar hinged or sliding panel assemblies. The threaded end fitting type accommodates standard mounting hardware commonly used in OEM and MRO assembly environments. Because the force output is fixed rather than adjustable, confirm the 20-pound rating matches the panel weight and geometry of the target application before installation.

Key Features

• Fixed force output of 20 pounds driven by internal nitrogen gas charge
• Black nitride piston coating for increased surface hardness and wear life
• Epoxy exterior coating provides corrosion resistance in light industrial environments
• Threaded end fittings for secure, hardware-compatible mounting
• 0.24-inch rod diameter with 0.59-inch tube diameter construction in steel
• 8-inch stroke across a 19.68-inch extended to 11.68-inch compressed travel range

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit fixed force gas spring for industrial equipment panels, access doors, and hinged covers requiring a consistent 20-pound extension force with threaded end mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, millwrights, or OEM technicians. Relieve any stored mechanical load on the panel or hatch before mounting or removing the gas spring. Verify that the threaded end fittings are fully engaged and that mounting brackets are rated for the applied force and cycle load. Do not disassemble, drill into, or incinerate the gas spring cylinder, as the internal nitrogen charge is pressurized.
