SS316 Stainless Steel
SS316 Stainless Steel Marine Gas Strut
SS316 Stainless Steel Marine Gas Strut for OEM use. Review mounting, dimensions, operating conditions, and custom production with LX Gas Spring.
Product Overview
SS316 Stainless Steel Marine Gas Strut is intended for boat hatches and coastal equipment exposed to salt spray, humidity, deck washdown, or standing water. For an OEM specification, the product should be reviewed as part of the complete mechanism rather than selected from appearance alone. Review the entire mounting set, including brackets, pins, ball studs, fasteners, drainage, and galvanic compatibility. 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: boat hatches and coastal equipment exposed to salt spray, humidity, deck washdown, or standing water.
- Interface review: Review the entire mounting set, including brackets, pins, ball studs, fasteners, drainage, and galvanic compatibility.
- SS316 stainless steel construction for corrosion-prone environments.
- Suitable for marine, food equipment, medical, outdoor, and washdown-style applications.
Technical Specifications / Product Details
- Product family: SS316 Stainless Steel
- Product-specific use: boat hatches and coastal equipment exposed to salt spray, humidity, deck washdown, or standing water
- Mounting and control check: Review the entire mounting set, including brackets, pins, ball studs, fasteners, drainage, and galvanic compatibility.
- End fitting reference: Blade End / Special Applications
- 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
- Review the entire mounting set, including brackets, pins, ball studs, fasteners, drainage, and galvanic compatibility.
- Review corrosion exposure for the full assembly, including tube, rod, fittings, ball studs, brackets, and fasteners.
- State whether the part is exposed to saltwater, washdown cleaning, humidity, chemical vapor, or outdoor weather.
- Check drainage and installation angle so water or abrasive residue does not remain on the piston rod.
- Confirm whether SS316 material is needed for all connected hardware or only the gas spring body.
Common Specification Risks
- A stainless gas spring paired with unsuitable hardware can still suffer staining, crevice corrosion, or seized pivots.
- A stainless gas spring can still fail early if paired with unsuitable brackets, ball studs, or fasteners.
- Standing water, salt deposits, and scratched rods can reduce service life even with stainless material.
- Corrosion resistance should not be solved after installation if the application clearly needs stainless hardware.
- Marine hatches and washdown equipment need both force review and environmental review.
OEM Manufacturing Support
- SS316 material, corrosion-resistant fittings, force, stroke, length, and packaging can be reviewed for OEM projects.
- Marine, food equipment, medical, chemical, and outdoor applications may need project-specific documentation or testing discussion.
- Samples should be checked for appearance, corrosion exposure, bracket compatibility, and repeated operation before approval.
Common Applications
Customization Options
- SS316 material selection for tube, rod, and fittings where required.
- Force and stroke matched to hatch or cover weight.
- End fittings selected for corrosion resistance and assembly access.
- Packaging and labeling adapted for OEM spare part programs.

Product FAQ
When should SS316 Stainless Steel Marine Gas Strut be selected instead of a standard steel gas spring?
Choose stainless steel when the product may face salt air, water, cleaning agents, humidity, outdoor exposure, or other corrosion-prone conditions.
Can SS316 gas springs be customized like standard gas struts?
Yes. Force, stroke, length, fittings, and mounting configuration can be reviewed for OEM applications.
What environment details should be sent for quotation?
Tell us whether the gas spring will face salt spray, washdown cleaning, outdoor exposure, chemical vapor, or medical/food equipment use.
