V-Quipment Stainless Steel Gas Strut with Fittings

Designed for marine use

There are many applications on board where the assistance of a V-Quipment Stainless Steel Gas Strut will reduce the effort required. For example, heavy deck hatches or locker doors. VETUS gas struts are specifically designed for marine use. All external parts are made of stainless steel (AISI 316) or synthetic materials and the special seals guarantee long service life. When fitted vertically, make sure that the piston rod is pointing downward. These gas-filled cylinders are supplied complete with fixings.

In order to calculate the maximum admissible weight which can be supported, the following data is required:
F = Force of the gas strut in N/m (see table)
G = Weight of the object to be lifted in N
W = Width of the object to be lifted in mm
