How do individual types of gas struts differ?

Home / Nezaradené / How do individual types of gas struts differ?

In this article you will learn the principle behind the operation of gas struts, how they are divided and thus how the individual types differ among themselves.

What are gas struts and where do we find them?

The role of gas struts is to facilitate the opening, closing, lowering or raising of the moving parts
of different equipment. You can find them, for example, in the tilting doors of furniture or under the hood of your car. Gas struts have extremely versatile use in mechanical engineering, building, furniture, and even in the food industry.

Classification of gas struts

With us you can find a wide selection of gas struts, divided into:

  • compression gas struts
  • tension gas struts

Compression gas struts

We classify this type according to stainless steel and anticorrosive designs.

Stainless steel struts are normally used in most environments. They are available with various piston diameters:
6 mm

Their stroke moves in a range from 20 mm to 150 mm. The M6 terminals move between 80 to 335 mm with an adjustable compressing strength of 30 N to 400 N. Struts with a piston diameter of 6 mm equipped with a welded mesh have a length from 94 mm to 365 mm with an adjustable compression strength also from 30 N to 400 N.
8 mm

Struts with M6 terminals are available with a stroke of 60 mm to 250 mm, a length of 165 mm to 600 mm and an adjustable strength of 50 N to 750 N.
Struts with a welded mesh have the same stroke values and strength than struts with M6 terminals. However, they differ in length, which is from 205 mm to 600 mm.

10 mm

We supply this type of strut with M6 terminals in designs with a stroke of 60 mm to 500 mm, a length of 180 mm to 1055 mm and stroke strength from 50 N to 1150 N.

In the design with a mesh on the terminal there is 100mm to 400 mm, a length of 285 mm to 885 mm and an adjustable strength of 50 N to 1150 N.

14 mm

We supply a compression strut with a piston diameter of 14 mm only with an M6 terminal, with a stroke from 60 mm to 500 mm, a length of 180 mm to 1055 and an adjustable strength of 100 N to 2100 N.

Anticorrosive compression strut

Gas struts with anticorrosive treatment are used in aggressive or otherwise specific environments. The abovementioned food industry, for example, uses gas struts in an anticorrosive design.
Anticorrosive compression struts are provided with a piston diameter of 8 mm, 10 mm and 14mm, a stroke of 60 mm to 350 mm, a length of 165 mm to 755 mm and an adjustable strength of 50 N to 1150 N.

Tension gas struts

In our offer you will also find Tension gas struts, which are made of extremely durable materials. Tension gas struts differ from the compression one, pulling the piston rod inwards, exactly the opposite to compression gas struts. Tension gas struts can be pressurized according to customer requirements ranging from 100 N to 1200 N. With us you can find them in designs with lengths from 300 to 900 mm and a stroke of 100 to 400 mm.
