The 155176 traction gas spring from Ressorts SPEC is engineered for marine-grade reliability and strength. Built entirely from 316L stainless steel, including both the body and the 10 mm ball-joint end fittings (EF-BS009X), this gas spring ensures outstanding resistance to corrosion—ideal for extended service in saltwater environments aboard sailing and motor yachts.
Designed to operate under tension (traction-type), this model supports a force of 250 Newtons and provides a stroke of 250 mm. The compressed body length is approximately 387 mm, while its fully extended length reaches 637 mm, offering optimal range for lifting or holding operations where pull force is required—such as for folding seats, retractable mechanisms, or overhead compartments.
Its 28 mm body diameter delivers structural robustness while still fitting within common onboard installations. Like all marine models from Ressorts SPEC, the 155176 has undergone ASTM B117 salt spray testing, ensuring more than 500 hours of corrosion resistance for offshore and coastal environments.
