Gas struts offer lift aid and balancing by exerting a push or pull force around a pivot axis. Their energy is equivalent to the internal pressure employed on the rod's cross-sectional area. It is the perfect answer for raising, lowering, and counterbalancing weight. Energy produces by compressing gas inside a cylinder to create power in gas-charged lift supports. The strength is stored when closed. When a hatch, hood, liftgate, or trunk opens, energy is released to raise and hold them securely unlocked. A self-contained, nitrogen-driven counterbalance device called a gas spring offers consistent handle forces, non-catastrophic failure, and a long lifespan. As gas pressure provides energy, our gas springs function consistently and predictably, outperforming mechanical, spring, and damper-type devices. Key Features: Seaworthy Gas-Filled Supports Rods are made of annealed steel with a nitride coating to prevent corrosion constructed-in polymer rod ends Bronze bushings Interior seal with many lobes Exact replacement for OEM Superior dependability in a variety of environmental circumstances Supports that are gas-filled and built for use in seawater are marine grade. Open trunks, hoods, hatches, lift gates, and many more are lifted and held open by high-strength gas-filled cylinders.
