The Whitecap 12" Gas Spring - 30lb - Black Nitrate is a precision pneumatic lift component engineered for controlled motion in tactical equipment, automotive applications, and equipment covers. This 30-pound force gas spring is favored by military personnel, law enforcement armored vehicle operators, and equipment manufacturers who demand reliable, predictable force delivery in high-wear environments. Whether you're upgrading fleet maintenance equipment, securing tactical vehicle covers, or building custom enclosures, this Whitecap spring provides consistent performance across temperature extremes.
Built with a black nitrate-finished steel rod measuring 6mm in diameter and a 15mm tube body, the Whitecap G-3530C delivers 30 pounds of force (P1) with a fully extended length of 12 inches and compressed length of 8.5 inches. The nitrate finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard plating, a critical advantage in salt-spray and high-humidity tactical deployments. The rigid tube and precision-machined rod ensure minimal lateral play and eliminate creep—essential when securing heavy covers or vehicle hatches where equipment integrity depends on consistent, fade-free support over thousands of cycles.
Operators maintaining armored personnel carriers, Humvees, and modular command vehicles rely on gas springs of this specification to hold equipment covers and access panels open hands-free during field operations. The 30-pound force rating is suitable for mid-weight covers and panel applications; heavier applications may require springs in series or higher force ratings. Installation requires standard mounting brackets (sold separately) compatible with 6mm rod and 15mm tube diameters—verify your enclosure or equipment documentation before ordering to ensure proper fit and load rating. With a compact, lightweight design at just 0.3 pounds, the Whitecap 12" gas spring integrates seamlessly into space-constrained tactical and industrial applications without adding significant bulk.
