Guden GNC53-D-C Hydraulic Damper 50 Lb Compression

Product Description

The GUDEN GNC53-D-C is an oil-filled hydraulic damper designed to absorb and control compressive force in mechanical assemblies. It operates through a chrome-plated piston moving through oil, delivering medium damping force in the compression direction. The rod diameter measures 0.24 inches and the tube diameter is 0.59 inches. Extended length is 15.02 inches with a 5-inch stroke. End fittings are plastic ball sockets, which allow for slight angular misalignment during installation. Rated capacity is 50 pounds (approximately 222 newtons). This type of damper is installed by mechanical assemblers, OEM technicians, and maintenance professionals in equipment requiring controlled deceleration or vibration damping.

The GNC53-D-C is suited for light-duty compression damping applications in industrial equipment, cabinetry, access panels, and automated machinery where controlled motion and soft-stop functionality are required. The plastic ball socket end fittings make it adaptable to pivot-style mounting points common in hinged covers, doors, and articulating arms. It is appropriate for both original equipment installation and field replacement where a hydraulic damper of matching rod and tube dimensions is required.

Key Features

• Oil-filled hydraulic mechanism provides consistent medium damping force in compression
• Chrome-plated piston resists corrosion and reduces internal friction over service life
• Plastic ball socket end fittings accommodate angular misalignment at mounting points
• 0.24-inch rod diameter and 0.59-inch tube diameter suit compact mounting envelopes
• 5-inch stroke length with 15.02-inch extended length for broad range of travel
• 50-pound rated capacity for light-duty controlled-motion applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hydraulic damper for light-duty compression damping applications requiring a 0.24-inch rod diameter, 0.59-inch tube diameter, and plastic ball socket end fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians familiar with motion control hardware. Before servicing or replacing a damper in a live assembly, relieve any stored mechanical energy and secure any hinged or spring-loaded components to prevent uncontrolled movement. Ball socket end fittings must be seated fully onto their mating ball studs before the assembly is put under load. Do not exceed the rated 50-pound compressive capacity, as overloading can cause premature seal failure or piston damage.
