Small Gas Struts – How to Enhance Motion Control with Compact

Small gas struts are micromechanical devices designed to provide controlled motion, positioning and damping.Miniature gas springs are significantly smaller than standard gas springs.The sizes of 3/8、4/10 and 4/12 are available, we can also personalize it to fit your needs. Small gas springs are key components in a variety of fields that require precise control of motion and force in a small package.

Specific Applications of Small Gas Struts:

  • Gun-safe mini gas struts provide a smooth and controlled lifting motion, making it easy to open and close the gun safe lid.If you install a miniature gas spring on the gun case, you can instantly and quietly open the safe door for one-handed access to your pistol.
  • Small gas springs can be installed in our RV cabinet doors or in the upper cabinet door of a camper, which can be opened safely and steadily upward for easy use.

GASTAC Mini Gas Springs are designed for applications where space constraints demand smaller components without compromising on efficiency and reliability.Such small and compact Gas Spring option offers a flexible range for a wide variety of applications including scientific centrifuges, military,medical equipment, hospital beds, and safety guards on a wide range of manufacturing machinery.

How to Install small gas struts for cabinets?
