Traction Gas Spring 8 × 150 mm
SKU: NLS-TRC-8-150
Traction (pull-type) gas spring with a 8 mm rod. Retracts rather than extends, for applications where the spring pulls a panel closed or holds it under tension. Extends from 210 mm compressed to 360 mm, giving 150 mm of travel. Steel with a black oxide finish for indoor and protected outdoor use.

Compatible end fittings
Eyelet 8mm
Steel eyelet with an 8mm bore. The simplest and most secure termination — bolts through a bracket and cannot pop off under load.
Fits rod: 6, 8 mm
Eyelet 10mm
Steel eyelet with a 10mm bore for heavier assemblies. Requires the mounting pin to be aligned with the spring axis.
Fits rod: 8, 10, 14 mm
Ball Joint 10mm
Snap-fit socket for a 10mm ball stud. Tolerates misalignment in every axis, which makes it forgiving on brackets that are not perfectly square.
Fits rod: 8, 10 mm
Clevis Fork M8
Forked end with a cross pin, threaded M8. Pivots on a single axis — use where the spring must stay in one plane.
Fits rod: 8, 10 mm
Threaded End M8
Plain M8 male thread for customer-supplied hardware. The most flexible option when the mounting is already designed.
Fits rod: 8, 10 mm
Flat Mount Blade
Flat drilled blade for direct bolting to a panel. Lowest profile option where clearance is tight.
Fits rod: 6, 8, 10, 14 mm
