Finding the right gas struts to replace existing struts:

To replace old gas struts you will need to find the right size and weight capacity.

Every 10kg of weight requires 100n. If your application weighs 40kg, you'll need a gas strut of 400n. 

Keep in mind that the weight capacity of the simple calculation depends on the concentration of the weight being lifted, with greater weight capacity required the closer it is to the hinges. If you're unsure about the type of gas strut required, don't hesitate to contact our team for assistance. We will be glad to help.

Length:

Our gas struts are labeled in fully extended length. To determine the appropriate size of a gas strut for your application, it is recommended that the length or height being opened and closed is around 60% of the gas strut length. Once you have established the correct size of the strut, the next step is to calculate the required weight capacity in Newton force.

Newton Force:

Certain gas struts may have a label that displays all the necessary measurements and specifications for convenient reference. However, if this information is not readily available, you will need to estimate the required newton force and measure the diameter of the shaft and cylinder of your existing gas struts. A useful technique for determining the necessary weight capacity is to use a regular bathroom scale in conjunction with a broomstick.

Available in a range of weight capacities (100n to 1200n), it's crucial to choose the correct weight capacity to avoid injury and damage. Our struts come with a well-oiled seal, and additional backup seal to guarantee smooth operation, resist corrosion, and prevent sudden slamming. We offer custom fabrication jobs for specific applications.

We also offer custom gas struts with specific pressure to suit all applications. If you can't find the gas struts you need, please contact our team via live chat or call and our team will help you select the right gas strut for your needs.
