Fixed Force Stainless Steel Compression Gas Struts

Product Description

Our Fixed Force Stainless Steel Compression Gas Struts – the ‘Swift and Sure’ – is now available in stainless steel, making them ideally suited for use in harsh environments, such as access doors to offshore wind turbines, marine engine covers, doors, hatches, plus applications requiring high levels of cleanliness like the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries.

Manufactured in 316L grade stainless steel, these gas springs have been subjected to more than 1,000 hours of salt spray testing. They are made with a specially‐prepared chrome‐plated rod surface finish for additional hardness. These products are corrosion‐resistant, providing reassurance of durability and an improved lifecycle of each product.

The fixed force compression gas strut is entirely self-contained, maintenance-free, and charged under pressure with an inert gas. It has the characteristics of a compression spring which, coupled with a slight change in force as it extends, provides a controlled rate of movement. At the end of the extension stroke, the extension speed is slowed by an oil-damping zone. These features help to protect hinges and mounts by applying constant force with a damped end of travel.

Designed to lift heavy weights effortlessly and safely, the Swift and Sure range are found on vehicles, machine guards, access panels, lockers and lids. But there is an almost limitless number of applications this range can be used on.
