Metrol
PartsForMachines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller for Metrol, covering the Metrol gas strut and access-hardware ranges. The gas struts run from fixed-force and adjustable variable-force struts to traction and pin-locking types, in steel or stainless steel 316, with rod diameters from 6mm to 25mm and forces from 30N to 7500N, plus rod and body end fittings, brackets and dust covers. The access hardware covers compression latches (the 1423 series), padlockable stainless swing handle locks (1205) and quarter turn locks (1406), with T-handle, L-handle and lever-handle locks, plastic latches and hinges alongside, in stainless steel 304 and 316, zinc and plastic.
A gas strut is chosen by force, stroke and extended length, the rod and body diameter and the end fittings, with the product page offering compatible rod and body fittings, brackets and a custom-force option; a lock is chosen by the lock type, the panel cut-out, the grip range and the material and finish. Each listing sets out those specifications with related products and the other variants alongside and a filter to narrow the section, while Metrol publishes a full catalogue and installation guides. Any question on a specific part is answered through the page FAQ or the Ask Simon chat.
Metrol Motion Control is a UK manufacturer based in Northampton, supplying both access hardware and gas struts. Its gas struts are nitrogen-filled, in fixed and variable force and in compression and traction forms, with stainless steel 316 for corrosion resistance and a working range of -30 to +80°C; the access hardware spans locks, latches, handles and hinges. Both sides run as standard lines or customised on dimensions, force, finish and end fittings, and reach transport, trailers, marine, medical, electrical enclosures and machinery.
