Gas struts offer support for a wide range of weights, from lightweight lids to heavy industrial equipment, determined by their Newton force rating.

A comparison of leading gas strut brands, examining their quality, durability, and suitability for different applications.

Determining the correct gas strut strength is crucial for optimal performance. This guide covers the factors influencing strut strength and methods for accurate calculation.

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.

Sizing a gas strut for a toy box requires measuring the lid weight, hinge distance, and stroke length. Use our force calculator to determine the correct Newton rating.

Gas shocks and gas struts are often confused, but they serve different purposes. Gas shocks absorb movement in vehicles; gas struts support weight and hold components open. Understanding these differences is critical for correct replacement.

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.

Ottoman bed gas struts fail for specific mechanical reasons: incorrect force rating, worn seals, contamination, or installation errors. This guide walks you through diagnosis and repair.

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.
