    Color-Coded High-Force Gas Springs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Gas Springs. Color-Coded High-Force Gas Springs.
    Color coded by force to help you choose the correct replacement, these gas springs generate high force. They’re often used to replace coil springs in metal stamping and die-spring applications. They match the diameter and stroke length of coil die springs, but offer much more force. Mount with the threaded hole on the end; fasteners are not included.

    High-Force Gas Springs

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. High-Force Gas Springs.
    Often used to replace coil springs in metal stamping and die-spring applications, these gas springs match the diameter and stroke length of coil die springs but offer much more force. A gas port lets you change force as your application changes—springs with gas ports are commonly used in manifold systems where all springs share the same gas pressure.
    Mount springs with end threads using the threaded hole on the end; fasteners are not included. Mount springs without end threads in a cylindrical pocket that’s sized to their body diameter, or use mounting flanges.
