At Camloc, we customise your gas struts and dampers to your unique requirements

When it comes to gas struts and dampers, one size does not fit all. The importance of finding the perfect solution for your specific needs cannot be overstated. That's why we offer a wide range of customisation options, allowing you to tailor your gas struts and dampers to your unique requirements.

This blog will outline the main ways in which we can customise your gas strut and damper to ensure whatever you are lifting or lowering on any application, will move with controlled precision. 

  1. Adjustable force: We understand that precise control when lifting and lowering is crucial. With Camloc, you can fine-tune the force of your gas struts, ensuring optimal performance for your application. Whether you need a little more power or a lighter touch, our gas struts and dampers can be adjusted to deliver the exact force you desire.
  2. Customisable stroke length: No two applications are the same, and neither should your gas struts or dampers be. We manufacture gas struts and dampers that enable you to customise the stroke length to match your specific requirements. This means you can achieve the perfect extension and compression movements for your desired functionality, guaranteeing smooth and reliable operation. 
  3. Versatile end fittings: Mounting configurations can vary greatly from one application to another. That’s why we offer a range of end fittings that can be customised to accommodate different mounting needs. With our versatile options, installation becomes easier and more efficient, ensuring a secure and reliable fit for your gas struts. 
  4. Material customisation: We understand the importance of durability and resistance to corrosion, so we provide the option to customise the material of your gas struts. Our 316L stainless steel option offers increased corrosion resistance, providing long-lasting performance in even the harshest environments. 

If you need further customisations, don’t worry, we have you covered. 

At Camloc, we go beyond the basics of customisation. Here are some additional technical details that we offer: 

  • Customisable rods: Manufactured in precise 5mm increments, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your gas struts. 
  • Customisable tubes: Tailor the tube length in precise 1mm increments for a perfect fit in your application. 
  • Multiple oil types: Choose from our selection of 3 different oil types to match your specific needs. 
  • Adjustable oil levels: Customise the oil levels of your gas struts in 5mm increments, ensuring optimal performance. 
  • Adjustable forces: Fine-tune the force of your gas struts in 5N increments for precise control. 
  • Thread sizes: We offer different thread sizes appropriate to the size of the spring, ensuring compatibility. 
  • Piston customisation: Customise pistons to suit the handling characteristics required for your gas struts. 
  • Symbolising options: Make your gas struts truly your own by adding your name or logo. 
  • Additional customisation possibilities: Enhance your gas struts with dust caps, end fittings, brackets and more.
