Selecting the Right Gas Strut Sizes

Gas struts are available in various sizes and weight capacities to suit your specific needs. For example, the 195mm gas strut has weight capacities of 100n, 200n, 300n, and 400n. The 316mm gas strut has weight capacities of 10kg, 20kg, and 30kg. Other gas struts, like the 500mm strut, are ideal for camper trailers, caravans, and boat applications.

Choosing the correct gas strut based on your specific needs is essential to ensure optimal performance. Here’s a breakdown of key factors to consider:

Weight Capacity: Determine the weight of the item you need to lift. Our gas struts are available in various weight capacities, measured in Newton force (N).

Strut Length: Ensure the strut’s full extension length is approximately 60% of the height of the door or window you want to lift.

Mounting Distance: Measure the mounting distance of the hinge to calculate the required force accurately.
