Notes:

Force (F1) increments of 5 pounds.
Product length tolerance is ± .08 in. (2.0 mm)
Force tolerance is 2-5 pounds over the nominal force.
Do not stroke more than 5 times a minute. Fast operation rates lead to excessive heat buildup resulting in internal seal damage.
Gas springs are filled with oil and are under pressure. Please dispose of it properly.
Do not heat, open, or puncture.
Contact Ameritool for modified standards or for engineered specials that meet your exact needs.
EE denotes no end mounts on spring.
