13+ gas spring series serve different size, force, and feature requirements. Follow this decision tree:
| Series | Body Diameter | Key Feature | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| GSV | Ø24–Ø63 | Global Standard, broadest range | New die designs, general-purpose (recommended starting point) |
| GSK | Ø24–Ø50 | ISO 11901 compliant | International standard tooling, cross-manufacturer interchangeability |
| GSSC | Ø24–Ø50 | High initial load | Heavy blanking, deep drawing, maximum force at pre-load |
| GSU | Ø24–Ø50 | Adjustable charging pressure | Variable force requirements, fine-tuning without spring body change |
| GST | Ø24–Ø50 | Deeper mounting holes | Extra bolt engagement for high-vibration applications |
| GSH | Ø24–Ø50 | G 1/8 port for external gauge | Pressure monitoring, predictive maintenance |
| GSX | Ø24–Ø63 | Classic (original) type | Existing tooling replacement, legacy die compatibility |
| GSP | Compact | Compact high load | Maximum force-to-size ratio for space-constrained dies |
| GSN | Standard | Short type | Short stroke applications, minimal die height consumption |
| GSQ | Ø32 | Body Ø32, heavy load | Ø32 bore dies needing maximum force in this diameter |
| MGSL | Ø10–Ø16 | Mini type | Compact progressive dies, tight spaces |
| MGSN | Ø10–Ø16 | Mini heavy load | Compact dies needing higher force than MGSL |
| MGSM | Ø10–Ø16 | Threaded body | Direct insertion into threaded bores, no mounting plate needed |
Mounting Hardware Selection
| Criteria | Bottom Mount Plate | Lower Groove Mount | Upper Groove Mount | Horizontal Plate | Multi-Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Installation | Vertical (bottom bolts) | Bottom (groove clip) | Top (groove clip) | Horizontal | Universal |
| Access for maintenance | Easy (open bottom) | Moderate | Moderate | Restricted | Flexible |
| Spring removal | Unbolt from bottom | Tool-free (slide out) | Tool-free (slide out) | Unbolt plate | Multiple options |
| Best for | Standard vertical dies (most common) | Quick-change dies | Top-access dies | Cam units, side-acting | Multi-series, mixed dies |
Default choice: Bottom mount plates are the most common mounting method. Switch to groove-mount brackets for quick-change die environments. Use horizontal plates only for cam and side-acting force applications. For detailed mounting guidance, see our How to Select Mounting Hardware for Nitrogen Gas Springs.

About Gas Springs
Nitrogen gas springs deliver the most consistent force output of any press die spring technology — ≤8% variation across the full stroke. Our 24-product range includes 13+ MISUMI series spanning Ø10 mini (MGSL/MGSN/MGSM) through Ø63 standard (GSV/GSK/GST/GSSC/GSU), plus compact high-load (GSP) and short-stroke (GSN) variants. Complete mounting hardware: bottom plates, groove-mount brackets (upper/lower), horizontal plates, and multi-type universal brackets.
