Description
There are many applications on board where the assistance of a gas strut will reduce the effort required.
VETUS Gas Struts are designed specifically for marine use.
All external parts are made of stainless steel (AISI 316) or synthetic materials and the special seals guarantee long service life.
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 below)
G= Weight of the object to be lifted in N
W= Width of the object to be lifted in mm
The calculation goes as follows:
Force in N/m = G x 1/2W /1000
