Guden GGN48-080-C Fixed Force Gas Spring 80 Lb

Product Description

The GUDEN GGN48-080-C is a fixed force gas spring designed to provide consistent 80-pound output force throughout its full stroke. Built with a steel body, epoxy-coated finish, and a black nitride piston, this unit is engineered for durability in demanding industrial and mechanical applications. The nitrogen gas force mechanism delivers smooth, controlled extension without the variable force curve found in traditional springs. With a rod diameter of 0.24 inches and a tube diameter of 0.59 inches, this spring fits into compact mounting envelopes while maintaining reliable load capacity. It installs using plastic ball socket end fittings with M6 x 1.00 thread sizing.

This gas spring is suited for applications requiring a consistent and repeatable extension force, such as equipment access panels, machinery lids, tooling fixtures, and industrial enclosures. The fixed force design means output force does not vary based on position within the stroke, making it appropriate for assemblies where predictable motion control is critical. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, or OEM equipment builders working with panel, hatch, or lid assemblies that require assisted opening or counterbalancing.

Key Features

• Fixed force output at 80 pounds throughout full stroke range
• Nitrogen gas force mechanism for smooth, consistent extension
• Black nitride piston coating for wear and corrosion resistance
• Epoxy-coated steel body for added surface protection
• Plastic ball socket end fittings with M6 x 1.00 thread for secure attachment
• Extended length of 19.68 inches with an 8-inch stroke

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed force gas spring replacement or OEM component for industrial panel, hatch, lid, and enclosure assemblies requiring an 80-pound nitrogen gas spring with plastic ball socket end fittings and M6 x 1.00 thread sizing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians familiar with gas spring mounting requirements. Relieve any load from the panel or assembly before removing an existing spring. Ensure mounting brackets and ball studs are rated for the 80-pound output force before installation. Do not drill into, modify, or attempt to recharge this gas spring, as internal nitrogen pressure presents a safety hazard if the housing is compromised.
