8/18 Compression Gas Springs
MK Gas Springs manufactures 8/18 compression gas springs with an 8 mm piston rod and an 18 mm cylinder, available with M6 or M8 threads at both ends. These gas springs provide a pushing force to assist lifting and support moving components such as lids, hatches and covers.
Configure the dimensions, force and end fittings to suit your application, with a choice of cylinder colour and marking options. Available force ranges depend on the selected gas spring length.
8/18 Gas Spring Specifications
The extended length (Lex) range of 85–900 mm shown in the table excludes end fittings and threads. With end fittings at both ends, Lex is measured between their mounting centres. With one end fitting, Lex is measured from its mounting centre to the shoulder at the opposite threaded end, excluding the exposed thread.
S is the visible piston rod length in the unloaded position, excluding the thread or end fitting. The working stroke (Sw) is the maximum available travel and may be shorter than S.
The configurator shows the available combinations of dimensions and force, together with the applicable working stroke.
