The GSLA has been designed to allow a gas spring to be set to the exact length without the recruitment to compress the spring.
Note: it is not recommended to compress a gas spring due to the high extension forces.
The GSLA also allows easy alignment of the end fittings without the need to unscrew them of the shoulder (which can often lead to the stud snapping off.) In addition, a GSLA can be used to match the extended length when replacing an existing gas spring. Manufactured from steel with black oxide finish.
