What do the end fittings do?

The end fittings connect to all our gas struts to enable our products to work for different situations.

They are the interface between the gas strut and the application. Depending on the type of end fitting selected, they can also help minimise the effect of side loading on the gas strut.

Our end fittings ensure a robust and reliable connection, giving you confidence in the stability and performance of your applications. These fittings are engineered to provide a strong interface, enhancing the durability and integrity of the entire construction. With options tailored to different needs, they not only support the gas strut but also contribute to the longevity of your setup, ensuring that your applications stand the test of time. 

Whether you’re dealing with heavy machinery or delicate equipment, our end fittings are designed to meet diverse requirements while maintaining exceptional strength and reliability.

The Advantages of Automated Manufacturing for Gas Strut End Fittings

Incorporating automated manufacturing systems in the production of gas strut end fittings offers several compelling benefits. 

Enhanced Precision and Quality

Automated systems ensure that every gas strut end fitting is produced with exceptional precision. This level of accuracy ensures consistent product quality across large production runs. 

Increased Efficiency

With automation, production processes are significantly faster compared to manual methods. This not only boosts output but also reduces lead times, allowing manufacturers to meet high demand more effectively. 

Cost Efficiency

While the initial investment in automation technology can be substantial, the long-term cost savings are undeniable. Reduced labour costs, fewer material waste and minimal errors translate into lower production expenses. 

Flexibility and Innovation

Automation allows for quick adjustments and customisation in the manufacturing process. This flexibility can lead to innovative product designs and enhancements without major overhauls in the manufacturing line. 

Global Competitiveness

Automated systems equip manufacturers to compete on a global scale. By maintaining high production standards and offering competitive pricing due to lower costs, manufacturers can successfully export their products worldwide. 

Leveraging automated manufacturing technology not only elevates the quality and efficiency of gas strut end fittings but also provides a strategic advantage in the global market.
