Rv Gas Strut Shock Spring Lift Replace Spd-gs-5250-60 | Todays ...

Note: for best results replace both struts (when 2 struts are used) … ALWAYS install with rod down (your struts will last much longer … here’s the reason all struts contain a bit of oil / that is what causes the damping effect towards the end of the stroke … this oil also lubricates the piston, installing the rod down keeps the oil atop the piston!) If you are looking for a replacement, upgrade or thinking of adding a gas spring to anything you would like assisted power in opening – closing or to be held open hands free this may be for you. Gas springs offer a unique alternative to conventional mechanical, coil spring or counterbalancing devices. The spring rate for a gas cylinder is far less than for any type of mechanical spring. The advantages of these springs involve the combination of a relatively flat force curve, versatility of controlled forces, extension speed, damping at the end of the stroke along with a very compact design. Each gas spring contains a specific amount of oil, which lubricates the seal, piston and piston rod, as well as acting as a damping medium. The oil within the cylinder, when it is compressed or extended, moves from one side of the piston head to the other, providing a damping effect. Replacement TIP: There are many brands of gas springs / shocks / struts manufactured today with just about as many names Nitrogen gas, gas, struts, springs, shocks, dampers etc. , some have a part number that is as equally confusing to understand with out a reference guide! If you are looking to add or replace any gas shocks (they all get weak, worn, bent or broken and need to be replaced at some time) it is easier than you think, here are the basics 4.     Mounting brackets / studs can be permanent or replaceable the most common are the ball and socket style (10mm or 13MM) then the ring / eye style. Many shocks come with threaded ends to allow for interchangeable configurations.
