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.

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.

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.

This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on how to use a gas spring force calculator to determine the appropriate force for your specific application, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

Replacing a gas strut requires accurate measurements. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on how to measure the extended length, compressed length, and force rating of your gas strut.

Liftgate strut replacement typically costs £80–£400 per strut depending on vehicle make, OEM versus aftermarket choice, and whether you fit them yourself or use a mechanic.
