What is a gas strut?

A gas strut, or gas spring, is a controlled motion component designed to facilitate motion control. It features a sealed cylinder filled with compressed gas and a piston. Manipulating the piston introduces compression to the gas, creating resistance that regulates the movement.

What applications are gas struts typically used for?

Gas struts play a pivotal role in a wide array of applications spanning various sectors. In the automotive industry, they are instrumental in facilitating smooth lifting and dependable support for hoods, tailgates, and bonnets. Their adaptability extends to furniture applications, enabling ergonomic and adjustable features in chairs, beds, and cabinets. Within homes, gas struts enhance windows, homemade bars, and shelving units, introducing efficient open-close mechanisms. In industrial environments, these struts are essential for controlling the movement of heavy machinery, emphasizing precision and safety. Moreover, they have a significant presence in aerospace applications, contributing to controlled openings and closures of doors, panels, and compartments.

What does the adjustable force mean?

All WDS gas struts are force adjustable. Every strut is supplied at the maximum force, this is stated in the product data table and printed on the side of the gas strut unit. Using the Allen key supplied, the gas can be let out - reducing the force outputted by the strut. Please note that once the gas has been removed from the cylinder it cannot be added back in, WDS do not offer a refilling service.

Tips for Setting

It is recommended when letting the gas out, to do this in 1 second bursts to not let too much gas out at a time. If more than one strut is being used on the application then struts need to be set equally, alternating between the struts so they are always set to the same force. To aid with setting these perfectly, we suggest adding an extra 10% to the load the gas strut is lifting then start adjusting. As soon as the load is just supported, remove this additional weight and then the hatch/load will be supported perfectly. When fitting, take note of the arrow on the side of the strut for the correct orientation.

Materials

Steel is a highly versatile and durable material that offers numerous benefits in various industries. One of the key advantages of steel is its exceptional strength, making it suitable for applications requiring structural integrity, such as in construction and engineering projects. Moreover, steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to withstand harsh environments and maintain its integrity over time. Additionally, steel is a sustainable choice as it is 100% recyclable, reducing the need for new production and minimizing environmental impact. The versatility of steel is evident in its ability to be fabricated into different shapes and sizes, enabling its use in a wide range of applications. Whether it's used in automotive manufacturing, infrastructure development, or everyday household items, steel's reliability and durability make it an ideal material choice.
