When developing new equipment—whether it's an ergonomic hospital bed, a heavy-duty industrial access hatch, or a specialized agricultural vehicle—finding a standard off-the-shelf gas strut rarely suffices. Partnering with a manufacturer capable of custom gas spring design and engineering support is crucial for R&D professionals.
Mastering Load Calculation and Geometry
The success of a motion control system depends on precise physics. Incorrect gas strut load calculation results in lids that slam shut dangerously or require excessive physical effort to close. Our engineering team collaborates directly with your R&D department to analyze the lid weight, center of gravity, and mounting angles. We then calculate the exact stroke length, extended length, and Newton force required to achieve perfect, effortless motion.
From CAD to Rapid Prototyping
Time-to-market is everything in product development. We support OEM gas spring engineering by reviewing your 3D CAD models and providing structural optimization advice. Once the specifications are locked in, our dedicated rapid prototyping cell can manufacture and ship physical test samples in as little as 7 days, allowing your team to conduct real-world validation without project delays.
End-Fittings and Damping Characteristics
Customization extends beyond just force and length. We offer a vast library of end-fittings (ball studs, clevis forks, eyelets) to suit any mounting constraint. Furthermore, we can customize the internal valving to alter the hydraulic damping characteristics, providing a soft-stop at the end of the extension stroke for a premium feel.
