Gas Springs Square Flange Plate - Body Only

This gas spring square flange plate body component is used inside injection-molded machine housings and lift-assist mechanisms where bottom-face clamping requires consistent seating on the fixed structure. In tooling for industrial access doors and safety covers, the square flange clamping helps prevent micro-rotation during repeated cycles, supporting smooth, repeatable opening and closing.

For automotive and appliance subassemblies that integrate spring-driven positioning, engineers often select this plate-only/body-only configuration to match the OEM’s assembly space and link geometry. The GSX-class design focus on stable mounting and predictable force behavior makes it suitable when the spring’s initial and maximum loads must be maintained across the product life.

• Lift-and-assist panels: square bottom clamping for secure travel control under vibration.
• Positioning mechanisms: plate/body-only integration for constrained layouts.
• OEM assemblies: choose an outer diameter and stroke within the provided ranges to match cavity motion requirements.

The provided specifications identify this as a gas spring cylinder component (body only) with square bottom-face clamping, but no steel grade, coating, hardness (HRC), or heat-treatment condition is listed in the available metadata. As a result, the exact material chemistry and HRC target cannot be stated without the datasheet for the specific size.

• Manufacturing process (functional): gas springs rely on precision cylinder fabrication, controlled internal pressurization, and tight sealing interfaces to achieve stable initial load and maximum load.
• Heat treatment: not specified for this plate/body-only variant.
• Trade-offs: without stated hardness (HRC) and wear characteristics, toughness vs. wear resistance cannot be quantified from the input data.

If you can share the material/grade code or the GSX series datasheet for the selected outer diameter (D), we can map it to the equivalent steel grade and typical heat treatment route (e.g., quenched & tempered or nitriding) and provide hardness-based guidance.

Start by matching the outer diameter (D) and overall length (L) of the body to your mechanism envelope. This product is offered in D values of 32, 38, 50, and 63 mm, and L ranges from 75 to 240 mm; select the size that fits the mounting clearances without interference at full travel.

Next, confirm the required stroke (S) and corresponding load level. Stroke is specified as 10 to 80 mm, and initial load options are 4750, 9030, 19000, and 31000 N with maximum load ranging from 7200 to 52500 N. Choose a variant whose force range supports your target opening/closing torque over the duty cycle.

• Mounting fit: this variant has a bottom face clamping (square flange); ensure the mating part provides a stable square seating surface.
• Tolerance/clearance: the metadata does not provide tolerance bands, so validate fit with the supplier’s drawing for the selected D/L combination.
• Configurable vs fixed: only the plate/body configuration is fixed as body only; D, S, and L are selectable within the stated ranges.
