SUSPA C16-04270 Gas Spring (set of 2)

Description

Product Overview

The SUSPA C16-04270 gas spring set is engineered for demanding industrial applications where reliable motion control and consistent force output are essential. Each spring measures 17.1 inches (435 mm) from center to center of the nylon ball‑socket ends, providing a generous extended length that accommodates a wide range of mounting configurations. With a compressed length of 10.8 inches (275 mm) and a rated force of 47 pounds (211 N) per unit, the springs deliver smooth, repeatable motion while absorbing shock and reducing wear on mechanical components.

Manufactured in the United States, these springs feature high‑quality steel internals that are heat‑treated for durability and coated to resist corrosion in harsh environments. The 10 mm nylon ball‑socket fittings are precision‑machined to ensure a secure, friction‑free connection to mating hardware, simplifying installation and minimizing maintenance requirements. The set includes two identical springs, allowing for symmetrical loading or replacement of a pair of existing units without the need for additional parts.

Designed to meet the rigorous standards of the industrial and scientific market, the C16-04270 model has earned a strong reputation for performance, reflected in its high customer rating of 4.6 stars from over 780 reviews. Its best‑seller rank within the Mechanical Gas Springs sub‑category underscores its popularity among professionals seeking dependable, cost‑effective solutions for power transmission, automation, and equipment refurbishment projects.

Usage

These gas springs are ideally suited for a variety of equipment, including conveyor systems, packaging machinery, robotic arms, and heavy‑duty doors where controlled opening and closing are required. Their robust force rating makes them capable of handling loads up to 47 lb per spring, providing the necessary support for lifting, tilting, or counterbalancing applications in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and laboratory settings.

Installation is straightforward: the 10 mm nylon ball sockets can be pressed or bolted into compatible brackets, and the springs can be positioned either in compression or tension depending on the desired motion profile. Because the springs are supplied as a matched pair, users can achieve balanced operation, reducing uneven wear and extending the service life of the associated mechanisms.

In environments where temperature fluctuations and exposure to moisture are common, the corrosion‑resistant coating and sealed internal components ensure reliable performance over years of operation. Whether retrofitting legacy equipment or integrating into new designs, the SUSPA C16-04270 provides a versatile, plug‑and‑play solution that meets the exacting demands of modern industrial workflows.

FAQ

What is the maximum load these springs can support?

Each spring is rated for a maximum force of 47 pounds (211 N). When used as a set of two, the combined capacity can handle up to 94 lb, provided the load is evenly distributed.

Are the springs compatible with existing mounting brackets?

The springs feature 10 mm nylon ball‑socket ends that are compatible with standard brackets designed for gas springs. If your current hardware uses a different socket size, adapters are available to ensure a secure fit.

Can these springs be used in outdoor environments?

Yes. The internal steel components are heat‑treated and coated to resist corrosion, and the nylon ball sockets are sealed to protect against moisture, making the springs suitable for outdoor or damp‑condition applications.

What is the warranty period for this product?

We provide a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Our customer service team will assist with any warranty claims or replacement requests.

How do I install the springs safely?

Begin by securing the ball‑socket ends into the appropriate brackets using the recommended fasteners. Ensure the spring is fully compressed before attaching the load, and verify that the motion path is clear of obstructions. Always follow the installation guidelines provided in the product manual.
