Start with four measurements from the original strut: extended length, compressed length, stroke, and force rating in Newtons. The Newton rating must suit the weight of the panel and its pivot point geometry. Next, confirm the body diameter and the end fitting type, typically ball socket or clevis, so the replacement seats correctly in the existing mounts. Where the original part number is still legible on the strut body, use that first as it carries all critical specifications in one reference.

A fixed force gas strut has a set Newton rating that cannot be altered after manufacture, making it the straightforward choice where the panel load and mounting geometry are known and consistent. A variable force gas strut (also listed as variable force gas spring) allows the force to be adjusted post-fitting via a valve, which is useful when substituting a close-but-not-exact Newton rating during a repair or when the load on the panel varies in service.

For a 700mm gas strut application, the overall body length is a starting point but not the only figure that matters. Confirm the stroke, the compressed length, and the Newton force rating before ordering. Two struts can share the same extended length yet differ in stroke and force, making them non-interchangeable. Check the end fitting type and body diameter as well. If the original part number is absent, those four measured values together are enough to identify a listed match.

Yes. Trade buyers can order multiple units of the same specification. If you need a quantity not shown on the product page, or want to discuss pricing for a larger requirement, contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583 or email [email protected] with the strut specification, including Newton rating, stroke, and end fitting type, and the quantity needed.

Gas Strut

FilterFilters
View as Grid List

Gas struts take the weight of lids, hatches, access panels and cabinet doors across workshop equipment, machinery enclosures and specialist vehicles, holding them open without spring tension or manual support. PartsForMachines lists gas struts as an Authorised Distributor and Seller, sourcing to the standards trade buyers need for replacements on professional equipment rather than light domestic fittings.

Selecting the correct strut comes down to four measured attributes: extended length, compressed length, stroke, and force rating. Force is specified in Newtons and must balance the panel weight and pivot geometry of the application. Fixed force gas struts suit panels with a consistent load and mounting geometry, while variable force gas struts (also listed as variable force gas springs) allow adjustment after fitting, making them the preferred choice where the load changes or where a close-enough force rating is being substituted during repair. Body diameter and end fitting type, typically ball socket or clevis, must also match the original specification.

When replacing a worn or seized strut, the safest starting point is the original part number on the strut body itself, which usually carries force rating, stroke and body diameter. Where that data is missing, measuring the extended and compressed lengths and checking the end fittings against the mount gives enough information to match a listed replacement. For 700mm gas strut applications in particular, confirming the stroke and Newton rating matters more than the body length alone. Metrol lines account for the gas strut in this section.
