Product Guide
Application Scenarios+
This compact high-load gas spring body-only component is used inside injection-molded machinery housings and fixture systems where a controlled vertical assist is required. In industrial workstation and ergonomic lifting builds, its high initial load options (up to 30000 N) help maintain consistent positioning during repeated opening/closing cycles, improving operator repeatability.
Because the configuration is body-only (GSZ body type), it is suited for designs where your mold or assembled mechanism already provides the mounting geometry and you want to integrate only the force element. For production tooling and clamping fixtures, engineers can pair the body with the required FM or HM plate types (for GSP/GSQ) to match the stroke envelope and linkage layout.
- Ergonomic lifting assists with stable initial force for consistent travel start
- Industrial fixture housings needing reliable assist under demanding loads
- Body-only integration where mounting parts are supplied by the customer design
Material & Process Details+
The provided data identifies this product by GSZ body type and its force/geometry ratings, but it does not include the specific steel grade, hardness (HRC), or heat-treatment state for the body. Therefore, material-property claims such as wear resistance level, quench-and-temper behavior, or nitriding specifications cannot be stated from the available information.
For gas spring components used in high-load mechanisms, the typical engineering selection is driven less by mold-steel hardness and more by sealing integrity, dimensional stability, and load consistency across stroke. When comparing variants, this series differentiates primarily by outer diameter (D), stroke (S), and initial load rather than documented material treatments in the supplied spec set.
- Not specified in input: steel grade, HRC, nitriding/carburizing, or quench-temper state
- Selection focus: match D, S, L, and initial load for the mechanism
Sizing & Selection Guide+
Select dimensions by matching your mechanism’s stroke requirements and closed/open length constraints. This GSZ body-only variant offers outer diameter (D) values of 19, 25, 32, 38, 50, and 63 mm, so choose the diameter that fits available mounting space and linkage clearance.
For travel, choose the stroke (S) from 10 to 80 mm. Then verify the installed length using L = 75 to 255 mm; the gas spring must fit both end positions without binding. Finally, set the initial load to your required assist level (available: 1500, 3000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 30000 N).
- Match S to the mechanism’s required travel
- Check L against your closed/open envelope
- Choose D for packaging and mounting clearance
- Use plate type FM or HM (for GSP/GSQ) to align interface geometry
Tolerance note: the input does not provide dimensional tolerances, so confirm fit requirements with the supplier’s drawing/spec for the exact selected configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the GSZ body-only gas spring with my own mounting hardware and plate interface?+
Yes. This variant is explicitly body-only with a fixed GSZ body type, enabling integration with customer-supplied mounting parts.
To complete the interface, you select the appropriate plate type such as FM (for GSP/GSQ) or HM (for GSP/GSQ) depending on your mechanism design.
What initial load ratings are available, and how do I choose among them for a high-force lift application?+
Initial load options listed for this series are 1500, 3000, 5000, 10000, 20000, and 30000 N.
Choose the highest initial load that meets your required assist at the intended starting position, while ensuring the mechanism and mounting structure can withstand the resulting force throughout the stroke.
Which outer diameter (D) and stroke (S) combinations are supported for the compact high-load GSZ body-only version?+
The input specifies available dimensions as D = 19, 25, 32, 38, 50, 63 mm and S = 10 ~ 80 mm.
You should select D for packaging/clearance and S to match the travel length required by your linkage or lifting platform.
How do I verify the installed length (L) so the gas spring fits my mechanism at both ends of travel?+
This series lists L = 75 ~ 255 mm.
Use your mechanism’s closed and open state geometry to confirm the installed length range provides clearance without interference, and then re-check the chosen stroke (S) to ensure the travel envelope aligns.
Is there a way to switch between FM and HM plate types without changing the GSZ body?+
The product data separates the GSZ body type (fixed as GSZ) from selectable plate type options: FM and HM (for GSP/GSQ).
In practice, you can keep the same body selection (based on D, S, L, and initial load) while choosing the plate type that best matches your interface geometry.
