Fixed Force Stainless Steel Compression Gas Struts

Introducing our highly sought-after gas strut, the 'Swift and Sure,' now available in stainless steel. This exciting development makes it the perfect choice for even the harshest of environments, including access doors to offshore wind turbines, marine engine covers, doors, hatches, and applications that demand exceptional cleanliness, such as the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.

The stainless steel construction of our 'Swift and Sure' gas strut brings a whole new level of durability and resilience to the table. It can withstand the rigours of demanding Australian conditions, ensuring reliable performance in the face of extreme weather, harsh marine environments, and more.

This versatile solution opens up a world of possibilities for industries that require utmost strength and cleanliness. Whether you're operating in offshore wind farms, marine vessels, or cleanroom environments, our stainless steel gas strut is the reliable choice that you can trust.

Discover the Power and Durability of Fixed Force Stainless Steel Compression Gas Struts

When it comes to reliability and strength, our fixed force stainless steel compression gas struts are in a league of their own. Crafted with care from 316L grade stainless steel, these gas springs have undergone rigorous testing, enduring over 1,000 hours of intense salt spray exposure. This means they can confidently conquer any challenging environment Australia throws their way.

To ensure exceptional hardness, we employ a specially-prepared chrome-plated rod surface finish. These struts are purpose-built to withstand even the toughest conditions, offering corrosion resistance to guarantee long-lasting durability and an extended product lifecycle.

The Swift and Sure range, renowned for its ability to effortlessly and safely lift heavy weights, can be found in a variety of applications, including vehicles, machine guards, access panels, lockers, and lids. But that’s just the beginning! The versatility of these struts knows no bounds, with almost unlimited potential for use in countless other applications.

Unveiling the Inner Workings of Fixed Force Stainless Steel Compression Gas Struts

When it comes to lifting, holding open, or counterbalancing in specialised environments, nothing beats the efficiency of our gas struts. Designed with the characteristics of a compression spring, these struts provide controlled movement by exerting a consistent force throughout their extension. As they extend, they offer a small change in force, ensuring a smooth and steady rate of movement.

But that’s not all – at the end of the extension stroke, an oil damping zone kicks in, gently slowing down the extension speed. This innovative feature not only protects hinges and mounts, but also provides a damped end of travel, ensuring a safe and controlled operation.

The use of 316L stainless steel opens up a world of possibilities for these struts. It’s a resilient material that can handle demanding applications and varied environments, each with its own unique requirements. Unlike other manufacturing processes, stainless steel allows for more design freedom, enabling the creation of larger or smaller gas struts. Just imagine, we can manufacture struts over 2 meters in length! In environments where hygiene matters, we have you covered with our food-grade oil specifications for applications in the food manufacturing industry. Additionally, we can incorporate non-magnetic materials for medical applications, ensuring compatibility with MR and X-Ray technologies.
