261588 - Miller Capture 5 Gas Spring Replacement 150lb

Restore Smooth Movement to Your Fume Extraction Arm

Is your Miller Capture 5 fume extraction arm starting to sag, drift, or feel heavy? The Miller 261588 Gas Spring is the factory-correct replacement part you need to get your equipment back in top shape. Designed specifically for the 10-foot upper arm section of the Capture 5 system, this 150 lb gas spring provides the lifting power needed to counterbalance the weight of the arm and hood. A properly functioning gas spring allows you to position the extraction hood effortlessly with one hand, keeping it exactly where you need it to suck up weld fumes.

Working with a sagging fume arm is frustrating and dangerous. If the hood won't stay put, you might be tempted to push it out of the way or stop using it entirely, exposing yourself to hazardous welding fumes. Replacing the gas spring restores the "zero-gravity" feel of the arm, making it easy to adjust as you move around your workpiece. This ensures you can maintain maximum fume capture efficiency without fighting the equipment or resorting to makeshift solutions like tying the arm up.

This is a genuine Miller Electric part, meaning it's built to the same high standards as your original machine. It offers the durability and reliability you expect from Miller. The 150 lb force rating is exactly tuned for the 10-foot upper arm configuration, so you won't have an arm that snaps up too quickly or sinks down slowly. It's a direct fit replacement that eliminates the guesswork of finding generic struts that might not fit or last in an industrial environment.

Don't let a worn-out spring compromise your shop's air quality or your workflow. Swapping out the old spring for a new Miller 261588 is a smart maintenance move that keeps your Filtair Capture 5 system running like new. Whether you are a shop manager maintaining a fleet of extractors or a welder tired of adjusting a drooping arm, this replacement part is the solution for reliable, steady arm positioning.
