Gas charged struts are well-known mechanical devices that are commonly used in the automotive industry, as well as in furniture, medical equipment, and other applications where smooth, controlled movement of a mechanical component is desired.
In essence gas struts, also known as gas springs or gas shocks lessen the force needed to open objects like hatches or doors. The gas-filled cylinders also result in a dampening effect on closing, this dampening effect prevents the objects from falling shut, which in turn guarantees the safety of the user.
It is very important to calculate the installment of gas charged struts. Depending on the application gas struts form a safety measure. Just guessing the mounting position, gas strut size, material & force in newton needed is not a smart thing to do. Luckily we made shopping and installing gas charged struts easy! We have developed multiple free-to-use online tools which help you calculate, customize or replace struts.
