Stabilus 049417 capós

Stabilus 049417 capós is a high‑performance gas spring (Verin de coffre) designed to provide reliable lift and support for vehicle rear compartments. Its robust construction and precise engineering make it an ideal choice for automotive applications where durability, smooth operation, and consistent force are essential.

Design & Construction

The Stabilus 049417 capós features a sealed steel cylinder that protects the internal components from corrosion and environmental damage. The spring’s core is made of high‑strength alloy steel, ensuring it can withstand repeated loading cycles without fatigue. A protective coating further enhances resistance to rust, making this gas spring suitable for both domestic and commercial vehicles.

Operating Principle

This device operates on the principle of a compressed gas chamber that delivers a controlled force when the cylinder is extended or retracted. The 190 N (Newton) rating provides a steady lifting force, allowing the rear hatch or trunk to open smoothly and close securely without excessive effort.

Key Features

• Consistent Force Output: Maintains a stable 190 N lift throughout its range of motion.
• Compact Size: Designed to fit within standard vehicle chassis without requiring extensive modifications.
• Durable Seal: Prevents gas leakage and protects internal components from moisture.
• Easy Installation: Compatible with a wide range of mounting brackets and adapters.

Compatibility & Applications

The Stabilus 049417 capós is engineered for use in various automotive models, including but not limited to:

• Lancia (e.g., A112, A112A)
• Autobianchi (e.g., 44808560)
• Other vehicles requiring a rear lift mechanism with a 190 N gas spring.

Its versatility makes it suitable for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles where a reliable rear compartment lift is required.

Installation Guide

1. Mounting: Attach the provided mounting brackets to the vehicle’s chassis, ensuring alignment with the existing latch or hinge system.
2. Positioning: Place the gas spring so that its cylinder aligns with the rear hatch or trunk opening mechanism.
3. Securing: Fasten the spring using the supplied bolts and lock nuts, tightening to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
4. Testing: Operate the hatch or trunk several times to confirm smooth movement and proper force distribution.

Performance Characteristics

The 190 N lift force ensures that the rear compartment can be opened with minimal effort while maintaining a firm hold when closed. The spring’s design allows for:

• Low Noise Operation: Smooth, quiet movement without rattling.
• High Load Capacity: Supports heavy cargo or passenger loads without compromising performance.
• Long Service Life: Engineered to endure thousands of cycles with minimal wear.

Maintenance & Care

To preserve optimal functionality, perform the following routine checks:

• Inspect for Leaks: Periodically examine the cylinder for any signs of gas leakage or corrosion.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a light lubricant to the pivot points and hinges to reduce friction.
• Check Tightness: Verify that all mounting bolts remain secure, tightening as necessary.

Technical Specifications

Applications in Vehicle Design

The Stabilus 049417 capós is frequently employed in:

• Passenger Cars: Enhancing rear hatch ergonomics and safety.
• Light Commercial Vehicles: Providing reliable lift for cargo bays.
• Specialty Vehicles: Used in custom builds where precise force control is required.

Conclusion

The Stabilus 049417 capós stands out as a dependable, high‑quality gas spring that delivers consistent performance across a range of automotive applications. Its robust construction, precise force output, and ease of installation make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking to upgrade or replace rear compartment lift mechanisms.
