Gas Spring End Fittings
Gas Spring End Fittings
DICTATOR gas springs are available
with a variety of fittings to allow for optimal installation.
When selecting end fittings it is
important to remember that gas
springs must never be mounted
rigidly.
We have listed the available end fittings
with the respective gas springs. On the
following pages you will find all
measurements for these end fittings, as
well as those for a few extra end fittings.
Please contact us if you would need or
prefer other end fitting models.
The eyelet on gas springs with the A-A
end fittings is pressed into the
cylinder. Therefore measurement D of
this eyelet is shorter than that of the
eyelet that is screwed onto the piston
rod. Should you require eyelets to be
screwed onto both ends, please order
the eyelet on the cylinder as „GZA“.
All other end fittings are screwed
onto the thread of either the piston rod
or cylinder.

There is a multitude of end fittings for DICTATOR gas springs, but the most frequently
used end fitting is the eyelet. We also offer mounting devices for this end fitting.
If you order a gas spring with an A-A end fitting it usually comes with the eyelet
pressed into the cylinder. (Please see details concerning individual types of gas
springs). However, if you need a gas spring with an eyelet screwed onto both ends,
please order the gas spring with the GZA end fitting on the cylinder.

If you are planning to use the fork (G) as an end fitting, we recommend you also
use the ES pin which makes the fitting quicker and easier. It is simply clipped onto
the neck of the fork and saves you having to fasten a pin through a safety ring or
key. It is available for all ranges, except 25-55 and 30-65.
If the gas spring cannot be installed precisely, you should use a ball and
socket joint or inline ball and socket joint at least on one side. However, you
must make sure when installing the gas spring that it does not tilt or twist.

A few special eyelets are available along with the standard eyelets for the 8-19
and 10-23 ranges:
The AR 16 eyelet can be used when the total length of the gas spring needs to be
as short as possible. It is shorter than the normal eyelet.
The ASL eyelet is intended for situations where the seat to which the eyelet needs to
be attached is very small. At just 5 mm, it is only half as wide as normal eyelets.
The ALS eyelet is recommended for use with the hardware designed by Schüco
which is used on skylight windows. The asymmetrical eyelet prevents the gas spring
from rubbing against the window frame.
