OVERVIEW

Restore Optimal Performance to Your Fume Extraction System

The Miller 261570 Gas Spring is a critical replacement component engineered specifically for the Miller Capture 5 source capture fume extraction systems. Designed to support the substantial weight of industrial extraction arms, this gas spring provides a massive 550 lbs of force, ensuring that the equipment remains balanced, stable, and easy to maneuver. This specific unit is calibrated for the lower section of the 12-foot arm configuration, playing a pivotal role in the vertical articulation and structural integrity of the setup.

Over time, the gas springs in fume extraction arms can lose pressure due to constant cycling and the rigors of the industrial environment. When a gas spring begins to fail, the extraction arm may sag, drift out of position, or become difficult to raise and lower. This not only hampers productivity by forcing the operator to constantly readjust the hood, but it can also compromise safety if the capture zone is not maintained effectively over the weld pool. Replacing a worn strut with the genuine Miller 261570 restores the arm's "zero-gravity" feel, allowing welders to position the hood effortlessly with one hand.

Maintenance of fume extraction equipment is vital for regulatory compliance and worker health. The Capture 5 system is a heavy-duty solution for demanding welding applications, and using genuine OEM parts ensures that the repair meets the original factory specifications for safety and load-bearing capacity. This gas spring is built to withstand the harsh conditions of welding shops, including exposure to dust and temperature fluctuations, providing long-lasting reliability.

FAQ

The Miller 261570 gas spring has a force rating of 550 lbs, designed for heavy-duty support.

This gas spring is specifically designed for the Miller Capture 5 Fume Extraction System.

This specific part (261570) is designed for the lower section of the 12-foot arm assembly.

If the extraction arm sags, drifts downwards after positioning, or feels heavy to lift, the gas spring has likely lost pressure and needs replacement.

It is highly recommended to use the genuine Miller part. The 550 lb force rating and specific dimensions are critical for the safe and proper operation of the Capture 5 arm.

Typically, this part number includes the gas spring itself. You may need to reuse existing mounting pins or brackets unless specified otherwise.

No, this part is specified for the 12-foot lower arm. Different arm lengths usually require struts with different force ratings or stroke lengths.

Gas springs are under high pressure. Always follow the manufacturer's service manual and safety procedures when removing or installing these components to prevent injury.
