What Are Heavy Duty Gas Springs?
GASTAC heavy duty gas springs are designed to lift, lower, and stabilize heavy covers, lids, or machine components with controlled movement and minimal effort.
Engineered for maximum load-bearing capacity and safety, they provide smooth, consistent performance even under extreme conditions. Whether used in industrial equipment, construction machinery, or truck compartments, they ensure stability, efficiency, and user protection.
Heavy Duty Gas Struts Specifications
When selecting or replacing a gas spring, it is important to measure the key dimensions accurately. Start with the Rod Diameter and Body Diameter, which determine the strength and load capacity of the gas spring. Next, measure the Stroke, which is the distance the rod can travel between the fully compressed and fully extended positions. Finally, record the Extended Length, which is the total length of the gas spring from the center of one end fitting to the other when fully extended. By following these steps, you can ensure the correct specifications for your application and achieve reliable performance.
