How to Choose the Right Bansbach Gas Strut for Your Needs
Selecting the perfect gas strut requires careful consideration of your specific application. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the right choice:
-
Understand Your Application Needs
Identify whether the strut will be used for lifting, holding, or lowering. Consider the weight or force it will need to support and any environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, or corrosive conditions.
-
Determine the Correct Size
The gas strut length should generally be 55-60% of the door, lid, or hatch length. Accurately calculate the size by factoring in:
-
Calculate the Required Force
Proper force calculation involves understanding weight distribution, leverage, and angles. This ensures smooth motion and prevents overloading the strut.
-
Measure Extended and Compressed Lengths
Gas struts vary in length. The extended length is measured from the center of the end fittings when fully extended, while the compressed length is measured in the same way when fully compressed.
-
Select the Right Stroke Length
The stroke length determines the range of motion. Choose a stroke that accommodates your application’s needs without exceeding the strut’s capacity.
-
Assess Damping Characteristics
Damping controls the resistance of the strut, allowing for smoother or slower motion. Applications requiring safety or vibration reduction benefit from specific damping configurations.
-
Consider Mounting Options and End Fittings
Mounting space and orientation influence the choice of fittings. Bansbach offers various end fittings, including elbows, eye fittings, and clevis fork joints, ensuring compatibility with your setup.
-
Account for Environmental Factors
High-quality materials enable Bansbach gas struts to perform reliably in extreme temperatures and challenging environments, making them ideal for outdoor or industrial use.
