Gas spring 8/18 200N, stroke 200mm, length 485mm ST 200 200N D8

Universal gas spring for various applications

This 200N gas spring is a reliable solution for many applications requiring controlled movement and weight support. Its construction ensures smooth and precise operation, making it ideal for both industrial applications and furniture or specialized equipment.

Construction and parameters

The spring is characterized by a piston rod diameter of 8 mm and a body diameter of 18 mm. The total length of the spring is 485 mm, and the stroke – i.e. the range of motion – is 200 mm. This combination of parameters allows the spring to be adapted to a wide spectrum of applications. The use of gas as the working medium guarantees stable force and long-term reliability.

• The spring force is 200 N, providing adequate support for moderately weighted elements.
• The piston rod diameter is 8 mm – a standard size that facilitates mounting and integration with existing structures.
• The spring body diameter is 18 mm, affecting its stability during operation.
• The spring stroke, i.e. its range of motion, is 200 mm, allowing precise control of movement.
• The total length of the spring is 485 mm – an important parameter when selecting it for a specific application, ensuring adequate mounting space.

Applications and benefits

Gas springs of this type are used in many industries, including:

• Furniture industry: lifting countertops, flaps, doors in cabinets and shelves.
• Industrial automation: assisting movement in machines and production equipment.
• Medical devices: adjusting the height of hospital tables, chairs and beds.
• Automotive: lifting trunk lids, engine hoods.

Mounting the spring is relatively simple and does not require specialized tools (however, remember to take safety precautions). It provides smooth opening and closing of elements, cushioning and maintaining position at any point in the stroke. This makes working with devices equipped with a gas spring safer and more comfortable. Additionally, the lack of the need to use lubricants or hydraulic fluids translates into lower operating costs and minimization of the risk of failures related to leaks or contamination.
