Choosing the right gas spring brand
Not sure which brand suits your situation? Start by looking at the application: furniture and kitchen cabinets require a different type of gas spring than, say, a caravan or office chair. Then check your existing gas spring for its type marking, length and force rating (Newton) before ordering a replacement. That way you'll know for sure you're getting the right brand and model, without surprises during installation.
Installation tips for gas springs:
- Always measure the fully retracted and fully extended length of your current gas spring
- Note the Newton value (force rating), often printed on the gas spring itself
- Make sure the mounting points (ball stud or eyelet) match the new model
- If in doubt, opt for a custom-made gas spring instead of guessing and measuring
