Calculating the weight capacity of a gas strut requires consideration of several factors, such as size, force rating, and installation parameters. To determine how much weight a gas strut can lift, use the following formula: Load = Force Rating \u00d7 Distance. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2>How Long A Gas Strut do I Need?<\/h2>\r\n<p>As a general rule, choose a gas strut length that is approximately 55% of the height of the hatch you want to keep open. So, if your door height is 1000 mm, then a gas strut of 550 mm would be about right. Simply put, when determining the optimal gas strut length, we&#8217;re talking about half the height of the door plus a little more. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2>Replacemeent Stainless Steel Gas Strut<\/h2>\r\n<p>Made from 316 stainless steel, these <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.manufacturer.gastac.com\/index.php?route=product\/category&amp;path=185\">stainless steel gas shocks<\/a> are specially treated to resist rust and corrosion, making stainless steel gas shocks\u00a0ideal for use in saltwater environments. Each end of the stainless steel gas shocks\u00a0have a female fitting that snaps into a 6mm,8mm and 10mm ball joint. The bracket (with ball joint) is available separately.<\/p>\r\n<p>Stainless steel marine gas shocks, like automotive expansion rods, use a cylinder and piston to assist opening and closing boat hatches. Typical hatch struts last about five years, after which manual lifting is needed. GASTAC replacement gas struts restore smooth operation. Select based on hatch manufacturer\u2019s recommended force. End fittings are sold separately.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Stainless Steel Gas Shocks Application<\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88341  aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stainless-Steel-Gas-Struts-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Stainless Steel Gas Struts\" width=\"653\" height=\"435\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stainless-Steel-Gas-Struts-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stainless-Steel-Gas-Struts-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manufacturer.gastac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stainless-Steel-Gas-Struts.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"product-info\" data-v-f6ff44c0=\"\">\n<div class=\"product-info\" data-v-f6ff44c0=\"\">Stainless steel gas shocks offer corrosion-resistant devices using compressed gas shock for controlled damping.
