# How to Choose A Gas Strut

Gas struts are used across industries to provide controlled movement, improve safety and reduce strain when lifting or closing lids, hatches, panels and doors. Choosing the right gas strut can be challenging without understanding load requirements, material options and fitting considerations.

**[Back to  Gas Strut and Cam-Stays](https://www.jetpress.com/component-and-fastener-products/industrial-hardware/gas-struts-and-cam-stays)**

<https://info.jetpress.com/hubfs/Bed_gas-strut.jpg?hsLang=en>

## Find the Perfect Gas Strut for Your Application

Choosing the correct gas strut (also known as a gas spring) is essential for smooth, controlled movement, reliable support and long-term performance. 

The right specification improves safety, reduces strain and ensures lids, hatches and access panels open and close exactly as intended.

This guide takes you through a simple step-by-step process to help you select the right gas strut. You will also find links to more detailed guides that cover size, type and operation.

At JET PRESS, we supply adjustable force and stainless steel gas struts for a wide range of applications and our technical team can advise on force calculations, measurements and installation.

## **Why Selecting the Right Gas Strut Matters**

Correct gas strut selection helps to:

- Improve safety by preventing sudden drops
- Reduce lifting effort for operators
- Protect hinges and panels from impact
- Deliver smooth and consistent operation
- Extend the life of the equipment

## step by step: how to choose the right Gas Strut?

![Gas-strut-on-a-food-truck](https://info.jetpress.com/hubfs/Food_truck2.jpg "Gas-strut-on-a-food-truck")

### 1. Confirm the Weight and Required Force

The force rating of a gas strut must match the weight of the lid or panel it supports. Too little force and the panel will not stay open. Too much force and the panel may be difficult to close.

If you need help calculating the force or measuring an existing gas strut, contact our sales team.

[![GAS STRUTS ENQUIRY FORM](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8032044/eac6d82d-30f6-4240-a740-650b1ce69a4a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8032044/eac6d82d-30f6-4240-a740-650b1ce69a4a)

### 2. Choose the Type of Gas Strut

Different applications require different gas strut designs.   
Typical options include:

- Adjustable force gas struts for flexibility during installation
- Stainless steel gas struts for corrosive or hygienic environments
- Fixed force gas springs for general use
- Locking gas struts for controlled positioning

[![What type of gas strut do I need?](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8032044/53a71a5d-d805-4b3a-857e-2b7c566656bd.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8032044/53a71a5d-d805-4b3a-857e-2b7c566656bd)

![Stainless-Steel-Gas-Strut](https://info.jetpress.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stainless-Steel-Gas-Strut.jpg?width=300&height=300&name=Stainless-Steel-Gas-Strut.jpg "Stainless-Steel-Gas-Strut")

![Gas-Strut-Technical-Drawing-length-stroke](https://info.jetpress.com/hubfs/Camloc-Technical-Drawing-length-stroke-only.jpg "Gas-Strut-Technical-Drawing-length-stroke")

### 3. Choose the Length and Stroke

The extended length and stroke of the gas strut determine how far the panel opens and how much clearance is available.

You will need to consider:

- The required opening angle
- The space available around the hinges
- The compressed length when closed

Correct measurements ensure safe and reliable motion.

[![What Size Gas Strut Do I Need?](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8032044/44a7243d-dbb4-4cae-91f3-5bba0a9b0767.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8032044/44a7243d-dbb4-4cae-91f3-5bba0a9b0767)

### 4. Check the Mounting Orientation

Gas struts perform best when installed rod-down in the closed position.  
This keeps internal lubrication in place, which improves service life and delivers consistent operation.

Incorrect mounting can reduce performance or lead to premature wear.

![Medical-Bed-Adjusting-Mechanism](https://info.jetpress.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Medical-Bed-Adjusting-Mechanism-2.jpg?width=350&height=263&name=Medical-Bed-Adjusting-Mechanism-2.jpg "Medical-Bed-Adjusting-Mechanism")

### 5. SELECT THE CORRECT MATERIAL

The environment plays an important role in choosing the right gas strut.

- Standard nitrided steel is suitable for most indoor and light industrial applications
- 316L stainless steel is recommended fmarine, outdoor, food processing and medical environments where corrosion resistance and hygiene are important

If hygiene, washdown conditions or saltwater exposure are involved, stainless steel is strongly advised.

### 6. CHOOSE the RIGHT End Fittings

End fittings keep the gas strut aligned and support the correct range of movement. They also help avoid side loading, which can reduce the life of the strut.

Options include:

- Ball joints
- Eyelets
- Brackets
- Clevis ends

 Your fittings must match the mounting points on your equipment.
