Miller 200lb Gas Strut Replacement 350mm

Genuine Miller 262457 Gas Spring Replacement

Keep your Miller welding equipment operating at peak performance with the Miller 262457 Gas Spring. There is nothing more frustrating on a job site than a welder hood or access door that won't stay up, forcing you to prop it open with a piece of scrap wood or risk it falling on your hands while you check the oil or change settings. This heavy-duty gas strut is the direct OEM replacement for specific Miller power sources, designed to handle the weight of industrial machine panels with ease. Rated at 200 lbs of force, this spring provides the muscle needed to lift heavy steel covers and hold them securely in place.

Exact Fit for Miller Machines

Don't guess with universal parts that might not fit. The Miller 262457 features a specific 350 mm length that matches the geometry of your welder's enclosure. Installing a strut that is too long can prevent the hood from closing, while one that is too short won't open it fully. Furthermore, the 200 lb pressure rating is calibrated to the weight of the door; a weaker spring won't hold, and a stronger one could damage your latch or hinges. By sticking with genuine Miller parts, you ensure a hassle-free installation and factory-correct operation.

Built for the Job Site

Welding equipment takes a beating, and every component needs to be up to the task. This gas spring is constructed with high-quality materials to resist seal failure and pressure loss, even in extreme temperatures often faced by engine-driven welders outdoors. Whether you are running a fleet of rental machines or rely on a single truck-mounted welder, maintaining the physical integrity of the machine's body is key to resale value and operator safety. A failing gas strut is a safety hazard that should be addressed immediately.

Quick and Easy Maintenance

Swapping out a dead gas spring is one of the easiest repairs you can do to improve your daily workflow. The Miller 262457 is designed for quick attachment to existing ball studs or mounting brackets on your machine. This product is sold as a single unit (1 per package). If your machine utilizes two springs for a single hood, we highly recommend replacing them in pairs to prevent the new spring from being overworked by the dead one.
