Guden GNC60-E-C Hydraulic Damper 100 Lb Capacity

Product Description

The GUDEN GNC60-E-C is a hydraulic damper designed to provide controlled, oil-based resistance during extension travel. With a 0.32-inch rod diameter, a 0.87-inch tube diameter, and a rated capacity of 100 pounds, this damper delivers medium damping force for consistent, repeatable motion control. The chrome-plated piston resists corrosion and wear under repeated cycling, while the steel construction supports durable service in industrial and mechanical applications. It is typically installed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals working with hinged enclosures, lids, hatches, or access panels that require controlled opening or closing motion.

The GNC60-E-C is suited for applications where extension-direction damping is needed to slow or cushion outward movement. Its 12.24-inch extended length and 4-inch stroke make it a practical fit for medium-sized access doors, equipment lids, and industrial enclosure panels. The plastic ball socket end fitting allows for angular articulation at the mount point, accommodating slight misalignment during travel. This damper is commonly found in manufacturing equipment, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies requiring consistent motion damping.

Key Features

• Oil-based force mechanism delivers smooth, medium damping force throughout the stroke
• Chrome-plated piston provides corrosion resistance and extended service life
• Plastic ball socket end fitting allows angular articulation at the connection point
• Works in the extension direction for controlled outward movement applications
• Steel construction supports reliable performance in industrial environments
• 4-inch stroke length with a 12.24-inch fully extended length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit damper for mechanical assemblies requiring extension-direction hydraulic damping with a 0.32-inch rod diameter and plastic ball socket end fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Before servicing or replacing a hydraulic damper, de-energize any connected equipment and relieve any stored mechanical load on the assembly. Secure both mount points firmly, ensuring the ball socket connections are fully seated and free to articulate without binding. Avoid side-loading the rod beyond the designed range of motion, as off-axis force can accelerate wear on the rod seal and piston.
