Damper
Hydraulic Damper with Blade End Fitting
Hydraulic Damper with Blade End Fitting for OEM damper applications. Review mounting, dimensions, operating conditions, and custom production with LX Gas Spring.
Product Overview
Hydraulic Damper with Blade End Fitting is intended for controlled closing in narrow bracket layouts that use a flat blade or pinned end connection. For an OEM specification, the product should be reviewed as part of the complete mechanism rather than selected from appearance alone. Confirm blade thickness, hole diameter, pin fit, bracket spacing, side clearance, damping direction, and stroke. LX Gas Spring can then match force or damping behavior, stroke, installed length, material, and end connections to the drawing or sample.
Exact force, stroke, length, and fitting dimensions should be confirmed from your drawing, sample, or installation measurements before production.
Key Features
- Application focus: controlled closing in narrow bracket layouts that use a flat blade or pinned end connection.
- Interface review: Confirm blade thickness, hole diameter, pin fit, bracket spacing, side clearance, damping direction, and stroke.
- Controlled damping for lids, covers, compartments, and soft-motion assemblies.
- Helps reduce impact, noise, and uncontrolled closing in mechanical systems.
Technical Specifications / Product Details
- Product family: Damper
- Product-specific use: controlled closing in narrow bracket layouts that use a flat blade or pinned end connection
- Mounting and control check: Confirm blade thickness, hole diameter, pin fit, bracket spacing, side clearance, damping direction, and stroke.
- End fitting reference: confirmed from drawing or sample
- Force or damping requirement: confirmed from load, geometry, motion direction, and operating conditions
- Stroke and installed length: checked at both end positions before sample approval
What to Confirm Before Ordering
- Confirm blade thickness, hole diameter, pin fit, bracket spacing, side clearance, damping direction, and stroke.
- Decide whether the application needs lift support, damping, or both before selecting a component.
- Describe the direction of motion, moving weight, stroke, desired speed, and the point where impact must be reduced.
- Send a short video when damping feel is important because motion speed is difficult to judge from dimensions alone.
- Check installed length and end fittings through the full travel to avoid binding.
Common Specification Risks
- A blade end installed without lateral clearance can bind and make damping inconsistent.
- A damper selected as if it were a lift gas spring may not hold the lid or cover open.
- Incorrect damping direction can control the wrong part of the movement.
- Too much damping can make the mechanism feel stiff or slow during normal use.
- Poor mounting alignment can cause side load and inconsistent damping behavior.
OEM Manufacturing Support
- Damping direction, stroke, installed length, fittings, and motion feel can be reviewed from samples or application videos.
- RV, toolbox, waste-bin, furniture, and equipment-cover projects often need sample testing for user feel.
- Production details should record the damping requirement, orientation, end fitting style, packaging, and replacement reference.
Common Applications
Customization Options
- Damping direction and motion feel reviewed according to the mechanism.
- Stroke and installed length matched to available space.
- Ball joint, blade end, washer, or bracket-style connection options.
- Sample-based matching when replacing an existing camper or compartment damper.

Product FAQ
Is Hydraulic Damper with Blade End Fitting used for lifting or damping?
It is primarily used for damping and controlled motion. If lift assistance is also required, LX Gas Spring can review whether a gas spring, damper, or combined solution is more suitable.
What should be sent for a damper quotation?
Send application photos, installed length, stroke, mounting type, lid weight if known, desired motion speed, quantity, and any sample part photos.
Can this damper be matched to camper or RV compartment hardware?
Yes. Photos, dimensions, and sample details help confirm a practical replacement or OEM damping option.
