Adjustable Force Tension Springs
Ameritool Adjustable Force Tension Springs are made from 316 stainless steel. Just like the adjustable force gas springs the pressure on these can be reduced down by the user with no tools required. The force on these springs pulls the piston rod inward, operating in the opposite direction of standard gas springs. Great for use on doors, lids, hatches and hoods that need to stay closed or would use assistance while closing. In its relaxed state, the spring is compressed, you must pull to extend
These units can withstand a wide range of temperatures from -40º F to 300º F.
The Guard Tube accessory protects the piston rod from damage due to incidental impacts. This accessory adds 0.1 inches to the extended length of the gas springs, please review the “E” dimension. To order add “08” to the end of your ordering number.
