Gas Strut Configurator

HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT GAS SPRING

Selecting the correct Gas Strut depends on several key factors. The required force is determined by the weight of the object being lifted and the position of the mounting points. Stroke refers to the distance the rod travels between the fully compressed and fully extended positions, while extended length is the total centre-to-centre length of the Gas Strut when open.

The Gas Strut Configurator helps identify suitable JET PRESS stocked Gas Springs by allowing you to filter results based on these dimensions. By entering your required rod diameter, tube diameter,  stroke and extended length, the configurator will display the closest available matches.

If an exact option is not available, our team can help review your application and recommend a suitable solution.
