Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6874 gas strut features a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. Its 18.0 mm diameter cylinder and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter provide a robust structure capable of handling a maximum force of 83 Newtons. The 3.0-inch stroke length allows for smooth extension and compression between the compressed length of 8.15 inches and extended length of 11.15 inches. Nylon ball socket ends sized at 10mm and 8mm ensure secure attachment points, reducing wear and vibration. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials enhances sealing and reduces friction, although this model does not include an internal rebound spring.
