Guden GGN48-040-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 40 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN48-040-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent, controlled extension force in industrial and commercial applications. Charged with nitrogen gas, it delivers a rated capacity of 40 pounds through a steel body with an epoxy-coated finish and a black nitride-coated piston rod. The rod diameter is 0.24 inches and the tube diameter is 0.59 inches. Extended length is 19.68 inches with a compressed length of 11.68 inches and a stroke length of 8 inches. End fittings use a plastic ball socket connection with M6 x 1.00 thread sizing. Mechanical, industrial, and OEM equipment technicians are the typical installers.

This gas spring is suited for applications requiring a fixed, non-adjustable extension force, such as lid and hatch supports, panel lifts, machine guards, and equipment access doors in both light industrial and commercial settings. The fixed force design means output force remains consistent across the stroke rather than varying with position, making it appropriate for repetitive-cycle applications where predictable load control is required.

Key Features

• Fixed force output: 40 pounds of consistent nitrogen-charged extension force throughout the stroke
• Black nitride piston coating for corrosion resistance and extended service life
• Epoxy-coated steel body for added surface protection in industrial environments
• Plastic ball socket end fittings with M6 x 1.00 thread for straightforward mounting
• 8-inch stroke length with 19.68-inch extended length and 11.68-inch compressed length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed force gas spring for industrial equipment, machinery, and fabricated assemblies requiring a 40-pound extension force with 0.59-inch tube diameter and plastic ball socket end fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or OEM assembly personnel. Relieve any load or pressure from the mounting assembly before removing or installing the gas spring. Ensure mounting hardware is rated for the applied force and that ball socket end fittings are fully seated before returning the assembly to service. Do not attempt to disassemble, drill, or modify the gas spring body, as the internal nitrogen charge is under pressure.
