Camloc’s fixed force stainless steel compression gas struts are engineered to excel in a multitude of applications.
Crafted from 316L grade stainless steel, these gas struts have undergone rigorous testing, including over 1,000 hours of salt spray testing. With a specially-prepared chrome-plated rod surface finish, these gas struts offer enhanced hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring durability and extended product lifespan.
The primary function of these gas struts is to effortlessly and securely lift heavy weights. Widely used on vehicles, machine guards, access panels, lockers, and lids, the Swift and Sure range is known for its ability to provide safe and efficient weight-bearing solutions. However, the versatility of these gas struts is virtually limitless, with countless other potential applications.

Unlocking the Mechanics of Fixed Force Stainless Steel Compression Gas Struts
When you require precise lifting, secure holding, or counterbalancing in specialised environments, our fixed force stainless steel compression gas struts are the ultimate solution. These springs possess the unique characteristics of compression springs, offering controlled movement through a slight change in force as they extend. At the end of the extension stroke, an oil damping zone slows down the extension speed, ensuring a damped end of travel that protects hinges and mounts while providing consistent force.
The inclusion of 316L stainless steel in our gas struts opens up a world of possibilities for demanding applications and environments with their distinct requirements. Unlike other manufacturing processes, stainless steel gas struts offer greater design freedom, allowing for the creation of larger or smaller struts. In fact, we can manufacture struts over 2 meters in length when needed. For industries like food manufacturing that demand stringent standards, we provide gas struts with food grade oil. Additionally, our gas struts can incorporate non-magnetic materials, essential in medical applications such as MR and X-Ray equipment.
For detailed instructions on installing, mounting, or maintaining gas struts, please refer to our comprehensive Help Centre section on our website. We are dedicated to providing you with the necessary guidance and support every step of the way.
It’s worth mentioning that our fixed force stainless steel compression gas struts are also available in carbon steel. This alternative offers its own unique benefits for various applications.
