Every gas spring is only as reliable as the hardware that holds it in place. Industrial Gas Springs carries a complete line of gas spring accessories — including end fittings, mounting brackets, ball studs, and actuators — engineered to work seamlessly with our Custom Line and Volume Line gas spring products. Choosing the correct accessories isn't just a matter of fit; it directly affects load distribution, range of motion, and the long-term service life of your gas spring installation.
Whether you're designing a new application from scratch or replacing worn hardware on an existing system, our accessories are manufactured to the same industry standards as our gas springs, so you can count on consistent performance across your entire assembly.
Engineering Support for Every Application
Selecting the right combination of accessories can be complicated, especially for custom or high-load applications. That's why we offer engineering support utilizing our proprietary application design software, which calculates optimum mounting points, gas spring size and force, and application operating characteristics — so you get the right hardware the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Spring Accessories
What accessories do I need for my gas spring?
The accessories you need depend on your gas spring's end fitting type, the application's range of motion, and how the spring will be mounted. Most applications require some combination of end fittings, mounting brackets, and ball studs; applications with locking or adjustable gas springs may also require an actuator. Our technical team can help you identify the right combination for your specific application.
What's the difference between end fittings, mounting brackets, ball studs, and actuators?
End fittings connect directly to the gas spring and determine its range of motion. Mounting brackets attach the end fitting to your structure or surface. Ball studs create the pivot point for ball socket end fittings. Actuators are used specifically with locking and adjustable gas springs to allow manual or remote release. Together, these components make up a complete gas spring mounting system.
Are your accessories compatible with gas springs from other manufacturers?
Our accessories are manufactured to standard industry dimensions and are compatible with the majority of gas springs available on the market. We always recommend cross-referencing end fitting type, thread size, and force rating before ordering. If you need help confirming compatibility, our team is available to assist.
Can I get custom accessories for a non-standard application?
Yes. If our standard range of fittings, brackets, ball studs, or actuators doesn't meet your requirements — whether due to unusual load ratings, non-standard dimensions, or specific material needs — we can discuss custom solutions. Contact our team with your specifications and we'll advise on the best course of action.
Do you offer engineering support to help me choose the right accessories?
Yes. We offer engineering support utilizing our proprietary application design software, which calculates optimum mounting points, gas spring size and force, and application operating characteristics, helping ensure you select the correct accessories the first time.
