What Does 100N Mean on a Gas Strut? Understanding Force Ratings
100N on a gas strut indicates its force rating in Newtons. Learn how this measurement determines the strut’s lifting capacity and how to choose the correct rating for your application.

Gas strut positioning determines whether your lid stays open safely or crashes down. Mounting distance from the hinge, angle of installation, and force rating must align precisely for reliable operation.
A 100N gas strut can support approximately 10 kg (22 lbs) when mounted vertically. Real-world capacity depends on mounting angle, hinge position, and application geometry—this guide explains the engineering behind the force rating.
Sizing a gas strut correctly requires three measurements: extended length, compressed length, and force rating in Newtons. This guide walks you through each step and common errors.
Selecting the correct gas spring requires measuring three key dimensions and calculating the force needed to support your load. This guide walks through the complete specification process.
Accurate measurement of gas lift struts requires three key dimensions: fully extended length, compressed length, and stroke. This guide covers every measurement method and verification technique a technician or DIY user needs.
A failing gas spring loses its ability to support weight, leaks hydraulic fluid, or makes abnormal noises. Early diagnosis prevents damage to hinges and mechanical systems.
