Atlas Copco Gas Spring 1626310700

Atlas Copco Gas Spring

The Atlas Copco Gas Spring 1626310700 is a gas spring used in the bodywork, hood and canopy support system of compatible Atlas Copco portable compressors. Atlas Copco parts documentation identifies the component directly as “GAS SPRING.” For example, the official parts list for the QAX 30 Dd S3A specifies four units, while parts documentation for the XAS range lists two units together with the corresponding ball studs.

The 1626310700 Gas Spring is a mechanical support component designed to assist with opening, supporting and controlling the movement of panels or hoods on compatible Atlas Copco portable compressors.

It works together with mounting components such as the 1626310800 Ball Stud. Atlas Copco parts documentation shows the gas spring and ball stud installed together in bodywork assemblies.

The gas spring helps make access panels easier to open while providing controlled support when the panel is raised. This is particularly useful during routine inspection, servicing and maintenance.

Applications

The 1626310700 appears in parts documentation for several Atlas Copco portable compressor configurations.

For example, Atlas Copco’s parts list for the XAS 97 DD(G) S3A – XAS 185 DD7 T3 range lists:

• 1626310700 — Gas Spring — Qty. 2
• 1626310800 — Ball Stud — Qty. 2
• 1605002500 — Rod — Qty. 2

This indicates that the gas spring forms part of the machine’s hood/bodywork support arrangement.

The same part number is also listed as Gas Spring, Qty. 4 in the current Atlas Copco parts documentation for the QAX 30 Dd S3A.

Other parts catalogs list it for models including XAS 47 and XAS 90.

When to Replace the Gas Spring

A gas spring may require replacement when:

• The hood or panel no longer stays open
• Opening the canopy becomes difficult
• The spring has lost its supporting force
• The cylinder or rod is damaged
• There is visible corrosion or physical damage
• The mounting connection is loose or damaged

Replacing a worn gas spring can restore controlled movement and proper support of the compressor hood or access panel.
