Measuring your struts

  • Selectlok gas struts are measured from "centre-of-eye" to "centre-of-eye" (at each of the end connectors) and at the struts full extended length (fully open).

Formula for calculating gas strut pressures:

  • I:Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Door Weight (in Kg) x 15% (Allowance for the mounting point on the door being no more than 50% of the dist. between lower mount and hinge) = Total Lift Force Required (in Kg/f)
  • II:Β  Β  Β  Β  Β x 10 (Converting from Kg ~ Newtons *NOTE: 1kg of force is equal to approx.Β 10 N)Β = Total Life Force Required (in N/f)
  • III:Β  Β  Β  Β  / (divided by:)
  • IIIV:Β  Β  Β The number of struts being usedΒ = The Newton Force Required (Per Strut)Β
