Gas Spring Replacement: Matching the Right Part to Your Bed

Gas Spring Replacement: Matching the Right Part to Your Bed

A gas spring replacement only works if the part matches your bed model. Learn how to identify your unit and confirm the correct spring or holder before ordering.

Start with your bed's model, not the old spring

A gas spring replacement is a model-specific part. The spring that lifts the lid on one tanning bed will not necessarily fit another, even if the two look similar. Before you shop, find the manufacturer and model number on your bed's serial plate or manual. That information is the starting point for every match.

The supplied catalog lists springs for specific units: an ESB 24 gas spring, an SCA Wolff Series I WSS24 gas spring, and a gas spring holder for the ProSun Onyx 12 minute bed. Each listing names the unit it is intended for. If your bed is not named, the part is not confirmed to fit your unit.

How to confirm a gas spring match before you order

Use these checkpoints to narrow down the correct part. The supplied records do not include installation instructions, so treat this as a buying check rather than a repair procedure.

  1. 1. Write down your bed's make and model: Look for a plate or sticker on the frame or near the control panel. The model name is what the product listings use to define compatibility.
  2. 2. Compare the listing's stated unit: The ESB 24 spring is listed for certain ESB 24 units. The SCA Wolff spring is listed for SCA Wolff Series I WSS24 units. The ProSun holder is listed for the ProSun Onyx 12 minute bed. If your model is not named, do not assume it fits.
  3. 3. Check whether you need a spring or a holder: A gas spring cylinder and a gas spring holder are different parts. The ESB and SCA Wolff listings are for the cylinder. The ProSun Onyx listing is for the holder (Model# M-14-D-01).
  4. 4. Confirm with the seller before ordering: Each product record asks you to confirm the correct part before ordering. Email [email protected] with your bed model and the part you are considering. This step is especially important if your model number is unclear or your bed has been modified.

What the ESB 24 spring listing tells you

  • Gas Spring ESB 24 200N W6W6R50-150-472-001: Replacement Gas Spring for certain ESB Units. Order includes 1 x Gas Spring Cylinder for Certain ESB 24 units. The listing asks you to confirm with the seller that this is the correct part before ordering. The compatibility is limited to certain ESB 24 units, so the model check is not optional. The package contains one cylinder, not a pair.

  • Gas Spring ESB 24 200N W6W6R50-150-472-001: The product name includes 200N, and the listing describes it as a high quality commercial grade aftermarket gas spring that provides improved longevity over the OEM gas springs. The 200N figure is part of the product identity. The longevity claim is the seller's description, not an independent test result.

What the SCA Wolff Series I spring listing tells you

  • SCA Wolff Series I WSS24 Gas Spring: Replacement Gas Spring for SCA Wolff Series I WSS24 Units. Order includes 1 x Gas Spring Cylinder for SCA Wolff Series I WSS24 units. The listing asks you to confirm with the seller that this is the correct part before ordering. This spring is tied to a specific series and model. A different SCA Wolff model is not covered by the listing's stated compatibility.

  • SCA Wolff Series I WSS24 Gas Spring: The listing describes it as a high quality commercial grade aftermarket gas spring that provides improved longevity over the OEM gas springs. The description sets expectations for the part's intended commercial use, but it is not a guarantee of a specific service life.

What the ProSun Onyx holder listing tells you

  • ProSun Onyx 12 minute Gas Spring Holder (Bench): This is a gas spring holder part for the ProSun Onyx 12 minute Tanning Bed. Order includes Model# M-14-D-01. This is a holder, not a spring cylinder. If your spring is intact but its mounting point is damaged, this is the relevant part. If the spring itself has failed, you need the cylinder instead.

Why the model number decides the order

Tanning beds are built in many configurations, and the gas spring is matched to the lid's weight and mounting geometry. The supplied records do not list dimensions, stroke length, or mounting ends, so you cannot verify a fit from measurements alone. The model name is the only compatibility information provided.

That is why each listing repeats the same instruction: confirm with the seller before ordering. A part that looks similar but is listed for a different unit is not confirmed to work, and the records do not describe a return or exchange process. A short email before checkout is the simplest way to avoid a mismatch.

Quick compatibility check

  • ESB 24 gas spring 200N: Listed for certain ESB 24 units. One cylinder per order. Confirm your unit is an ESB 24 before ordering.
  • SCA Wolff Series I gas spring: Listed for SCA Wolff Series I WSS24 units. One cylinder per order. Confirm your unit is a Series I WSS24.
  • ProSun Onyx gas spring holder: Listed for the ProSun Onyx 12 minute bed. Model# M-14-D-01. This is the holder, not the spring.

What the supplied information does not cover

The records do not include installation steps, torque specifications, or safety procedures for removing a pressurized gas spring. Gas springs store energy, and improper handling can cause injury. If you are not trained to replace one, have a qualified technician do the work.

The records also do not state a warranty period, a return policy, or a procedure for verifying a part after delivery. For those details, contact the seller directly at [email protected] before you order.
