Gas spring Stabilus 178813

Gas spring mounts are end fittings that connect the spring to the structure. Mount type affects installation, rotation angle, allowable loads and service life.

Common options:

• Ball socket — quick to install and allows free rotation.
• Threaded stud — versatile with brackets or adapters.
• Clevis — reliable pin or bolt mounting for higher loads.
• Rod end bearing — compensates misalignment and reduces rod stress.
• Eyelets and special ends — for non-standard applications.

Consider mechanism design, motion direction and operating conditions. The right mount ensures reliable long-term performance.

On this gas spring (178813) rod mount is S1 (Шаровая опора (гнездо))

Rod diameter in millimeters. A larger diameter improves side-load capacity and buckling resistance. Match rod Ø when selecting an equivalent spring.

Before ordering gas spring Stabilus 178813 or Stabilus 000685 with delivery to Saint Petersburg, confirm rod Ø 8 mm fits your application.

Outer body (cylinder) diameter. It defines overall size and affects force at a given pressure. Specify cylinder Ø together with rod Ø for accurate replacement.

Cylinder Ø 18 mm on Stabilus 178813 defines body size. Compare with Stabilus 000685 — same cylinder Ø for parameter-based selection.

Working rod stroke — how many millimeters the rod extends when the spring is fully extended. Critical for lids, hatches and moving mechanisms.

Rod stroke 149 mm on gas spring Stabilus 178813 sets how far a lid or hatch opens. In Стандартные with the same stroke: VST VSTLC-1028-149-450-800N (R13E101).

Overall length in the fully extended state. Use it to verify the spring fits the assembly without interfering with nearby parts.

Overall length 419 mm on Stabilus 178813 is a key installation dimension. Gas spring VST VSTS-818-156-419-150N-D (E19E20) has the same length — compare mounts, rod Ø and force before replacement.

Gas spring force in newtons. It determines whether the spring can hold or lift the load. Small tolerance is acceptable; a large difference changes mechanism behavior.

Force 455 N on gas spring Stabilus 178813 must match your load. Stabilus 9304RI has the same force — useful when choosing a replacement. You can then order a gas spring with delivery to Saint Petersburg.
