Notes:

Required F1 must be within the catalog limits and in increments of 10lbs. (50 N).
F1 tolerance: 6 x 15 = ± 20 N, 8 x 18 = ± 30 N, 10 x 22 = ± 40 N.
Not all sizes are available in 10 pounds.
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.
ML29 comes with 13mm steel ball sockets; all other sizes are 10 mm composite ball sockets.
End fittings are non-removable on the 6 x 15 and 8 x 18 springs.
EE denotes no end mounts on spring.
