A 177mm Stroke Gas Spring, also known as a gas strut or gas lift, is a type of mechanical component that uses compressed gas contained within a cylinder to exert force and provide controlled motion. The stroke length of 177mm is the extension or compression distance that the gas spring can provide. Gas springs are commonly used in various applications to assist in lifting, lowering, and holding objects, in the hood of a vehicle. When you push the hood down, the gas spring compresses, helping you lower the hood gently.Attributes:• Strokes Length: 177• Easier to lift and lower the hood by providing a controlled force, reducing the effort required by the person operating it• Help to smoothly lift and hold the hood in place, preventing sudden drops and potential injuries that could occur with a heavy hood• Provide a smooth and controlled motion, preventing abrupt movements that could damage the hood Applications:This 177mm Stroke Gas Spring is designed to provide controlled force and motion through the compression and expansion of gas within a sealed cylinder.
