Product Details and Specifications

This StrongArm gas strut (part number 4586) is constructed with a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The strut features a 9-inch stroke length, allowing smooth extension and compression between 13.34 inches compressed and 22.34 inches extended. The inner shaft diameter measures 8.0 mm, providing strength and stability during operation. Both ends utilize nylon ball sockets—10mm on one end and a 16-degree angled socket on the other—to ensure secure attachment and proper articulation. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to the strut's longevity. This gas strut does not include an internal rebound spring, focusing on consistent damping force rated at 106 Newtons.
