Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6701 gas strut features a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The 18.0 mm diameter cylinder houses an 8.0 mm inner shaft designed for smooth extension and retraction over a 6.25-inch stroke. Both ends are equipped with nylon ball sockets—one standard 10mm and one angled 16-degree 16mm—to ensure precise fitment and articulation. The absence of an internal rebound spring allows for consistent damping force up to 85 Newtons, suitable for specific Mazda applications requiring controlled lift and support.

Compatible Mazda Models and Applications

This gas strut is specifically compatible with certain Mazda models, engineered to meet the exact specifications required for proper fit and function. The StrongArm 6701 is ideal for use in automotive components such as hoods, trunks, or tailgates where controlled lifting and holding force is necessary.

• Supports smooth opening and closing of hoods or tailgates
• Prevents sudden drops or slamming
• Maintains consistent force over repeated cycles
• Reduces wear on hinges and mounting points
• Improves safety during vehicle maintenance or loading

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6701 gas strut requires matching the ball socket ends to the vehicle’s mounting points. Ensure the 10mm and 16mm nylon ball sockets align correctly with the corresponding fittings on the Mazda model. Proper orientation of the angled ball socket (16 degrees) is critical for smooth operation. Lubricate mounting points if necessary and verify the strut’s stroke length and force are appropriate for the application before final installation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

StrongArm gas struts are manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance. The 6701 model is constructed with high-quality steel and engineered components including rubber and Teflon materials to reduce friction and extend service life. While no internal rebound spring is included, the strut is designed to provide consistent force throughout its stroke. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier.
