Stabilus LIFT-O-MAT 907517 Gas Spring 750 Newton

Stabilus LIFT‑O‑MAT® Gas Spring 907517 – 750 Newton

The Stabilus LIFT‑O‑MAT® Gas Spring 907517 is a high‑performance, precision‑engineered gas spring designed to provide reliable support and smooth operation for vehicle cargo areas. With a rated force of 750 Newton, this component delivers the optimal balance between strength and ease of use, making it ideal for modern hatchbacks and station wagons that demand both durability and user comfort.

Key Technical Specifications

• Rated Force: 750 N (Newton)
• Length: 538.5 mm (adjustable to fit a variety of vehicle models)
• Stroke: Full extension and compression range designed for smooth lift‑and‑drop action
• Construction: Stainless steel housing with high‑grade alloy rod, ensuring corrosion resistance and long service life
• Sealing: Dual O‑ring seal system to prevent gas leakage and protect internal components from moisture and debris
• Compatibility: Specifically engineered for the Peugeot 308 SW (2007–2014) but also suitable for other vehicles with similar cargo area dimensions
• Installation Type: Standard mounting brackets compatible with existing vehicle chassis and rear‑door assemblies

Design Philosophy and Engineering Excellence

The Stabilus LIFT‑O‑MAT® Gas Spring embodies a meticulous design philosophy that prioritizes both performance and longevity. The 750 Newton rating ensures that the spring can support substantial cargo loads while maintaining a gentle, controlled lift. Engineers have incorporated a dual‑seal system to safeguard against gas escape, which is critical for preserving the spring’s force over time.

The use of high‑grade alloy steel in the rod construction provides exceptional tensile strength and fatigue resistance. This material choice allows the spring to endure repeated cycles—often exceeding 10,000 lift–drop operations—without significant degradation. The stainless steel housing further protects against environmental factors such as humidity, road salt, and temperature fluctuations.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing the Stabilus LIFT‑O‑MAT® Gas Spring is straightforward for technicians familiar with vehicle rear‑door assemblies. The spring comes pre‑assembled with mounting brackets that align with standard attachment points on the cargo area frame. During installation, it is essential to:

1. Verify Alignment: Ensure the spring’s mounting holes match the vehicle’s chassis openings.
2. Secure Fasteners: Tighten all bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications to prevent loosening over time.
3. Check Seal Integrity: Inspect O‑rings for wear and replace if necessary before final assembly.

Routine maintenance involves a visual inspection of the housing, rod, and seals. If any signs of corrosion or deformation are observed, replacement is recommended to maintain optimal performance.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Lift Force: The 750 N rating provides a steady lift that reduces strain on the vehicle’s hydraulic system and improves overall handling when the cargo area is in use.
• Enhanced Durability: High‑grade materials and robust construction ensure the spring can withstand harsh driving conditions, including off‑road use and extreme temperatures.
• Quiet Operation: The design minimizes noise during lift and drop cycles, contributing to a more pleasant cabin environment.
• Improved Safety: By maintaining proper cargo area alignment, the spring helps prevent accidental door slamming or misalignment that could compromise vehicle safety.

Applications Beyond the Peugeot 308 SW

While the Stabilus LIFT‑O‑MAT® Gas Spring 907517 is optimized for the Peugeot 308 SW, its versatile design allows it to be adapted for other vehicles with similar cargo area dimensions. Automotive enthusiasts and aftermarket specialists often employ this spring in:

• Station Wagons: Providing reliable support for rear doors that open upward.
