SPD-GSNI-4900-10 Gas Spring | 10lb Strut | LGP6-750-10 Replacement
A high-performance engineered counterbalance solution designed for durability and smooth operation in industrial and automotive applications.
Overview
This SPD™ Standard Gas Strut is a high-quality counterbalance solution designed for listed applications where measurements, mounting points, and force requirements match. Built by industry leader ASRaymond, these struts feature a durable nitride coating and are engineered to perform across a wide temperature spectrum, ensuring reliable lifting and dampening for thousands of cycles.
R&P Service Insight
Reliable lift support is critical for safety and ease of use in heavy-duty compartments or lid applications.
- Longevity: Tested to surpass industry standards with an approximate 30,000 cycle life expectancy.
- Smooth Action: Features a 0.79" damped height to prevent slamming and reduce mechanical stress.
- Weather Ready: Rated for extreme environments ranging from -13°F to 176°F.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for systems utilizing standard ball socket rod end fittings.
System Fit: Universal industrial/automotive applications where a 1.5 lbs/in spring rate is required.
Installation Notes: Ensure your mounting points are compatible with the Ball Socket fitting and verify the required compressed vs. extended length.
Performance Insight: The nitride coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and smoother rod travel compared to standard painted finishes.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: ASRaymond / SPD™
Application Reference: Any OEM or platform names in this listing describe compatibility, fitment target, or application style only where supported by verified dimensions and force ratings.
What This Means: This listing is for a genuine SPD™ Standard Gas Strut, a high-quality engineered component from ASRaymond.
Before Ordering: Verify force requirements (10–13 lbs), mounting style (Ball Socket), and operational stroke to ensure a proper fit.
R&P Repair Insight
Gas struts typically fail when the internal seals wear out or the rod becomes pitted. Replace in pairs for balanced operation and to ensure even load distribution on your hinges.
- Force Check: Ensure your application requires a starting force of 10 lbs and a final force of 13 lbs.
- Orientation: For optimal seal lubrication and life, install the strut with the rod pointing down in the most common "stored" position.
- Safety: Never attempt to puncture or open a gas strut, as they contain high-pressure gas.
