Gas spring 8/18, 200N, stroke 160mm, length 365mm ST 160 200N V D8

Universal gas spring for various applications

This gas spring, identified by catalog number ST 160 200N V D8, is a reliable solution for many applications requiring controlled movement and load support. Its design based on compressed gas ensures smooth operation and long-lasting performance. It is particularly useful in situations where motion damping or maintaining position is required.

Construction and parameters

The spring is characterized by a piston rod diameter of 8 mm and a cylinder diameter of 18 mm. It has an M6 thread, which facilitates mounting and integration with various structures. The spring force is 200 N, and the stroke is 160 mm – these parameters define its operating range and ability to overcome resistance. The total length of the spring is 365 mm. This combination of dimensions and force makes it suitable for applications requiring both precision and durability.

Applications and benefits

Gas springs of this type are widely used in industry, furniture, and specialized equipment. They are ideal for:

• Support for flaps and covers: Provide smooth opening and closing, as well as maintaining them in a specific position.
• Shock absorption: Dampen shocks and reduce noise during the movement of structural elements.
• Height adjustment: Allow precise positioning of elements in machines and equipment.
• Process automation: Assist moving elements in automatic control systems.

Thanks to its construction, this spring is corrosion-resistant and ensures long-term reliability even in harsh working conditions. Additionally, the ability to download STEP (.stp) and IGES (.igs) files facilitates design and integration with other system components.
