Industries we supply

The same latch, fastener or strut can be the right answer in very different places. Here is where our customers use them, and where to start in the catalogue.

Gas strut force calculator

Work out roughly how much force each gas strut needs to lift a lid, hatch or door. Then send us the result and we’ll match a SUSPA strut with the right stroke and fittings.

Your lid or door

Measure with the lid closed. Use millimetres and kilograms.

This calculator uses the standard moment balance: force per strut = (weight × 9.81 × centre-of-gravity distance) ÷ (number of struts × mounting distance), plus 10% for friction and seal drag. It gives a starting point only. Mounting angle, strut geometry and temperature all change the final figure.

Gas strut sizing tips

  • Mount rod-down. This keeps the seal lubricated and gives smooth damping at the end of travel.
  • Choose the stroke from the opening angle. As a rule of thumb, the strut’s stroke should be about half the change in distance between its two fixing points from closed to fully open.
  • Leave room for movement. Fit ball-socket or eyelet end fittings so the strut can swing freely through its arc without side load on the rod.
  • Remember temperature. Gas force rises and falls by roughly 3% for every 10 °C, which matters on vehicles and outdoor equipment.
  • Lifting a heavy lid? Use two struts, one on each side, so the lid does not twist.

Prefer to have it checked? Email your sketch with the weight and fixing points to sales@astraindustrial.co.za or call 011 918 6696.
