Description of the Gas Spring 180489<\/h2>\n

The 180489<\/strong> gas spring from Ressorts SPEC<\/strong><\/em> is engineered for demanding marine applications where corrosion resistance and durability are critical. Built entirely from 316L stainless steel<\/strong>, including the 8 mm rod and stainless steel end fittings, it ensures long-lasting performance in aggressive saltwater environments. This makes it an optimal solution for yacht structures exposed to continuous spray and heavy use.<\/p>\n

With a total deployed length of 593 mm between axes<\/strong> and a 250 mm stroke<\/strong>, this strut develops a lifting force of 400 Newtons<\/strong>. Designed to deliver smooth, controlled motion, it provides reliable support for heavy hatches and gullwing doors, while also preventing abrupt slamming under rough sea conditions.<\/p>\n

Specifically installed on the Lagoon 52 catamaran gullwing doors<\/strong><\/a>, this model is an essential spare part for owners seeking performance, safety, and long-term reliability.<\/p>\n
