Similarly, you may ask, how does a gas strut work?
Camloc gas struts work by forcing, under pressure, an inert gas (Nitrogen) into a cylinder. The internal pressure then greatly exceeds atmospheric pressure. When the rod is compressed into the cylinder, the internal pressure and the output force increase according to the volume displaced by the rod.
In respect to this, how long do gas struts last?
about five years
To calculate the size and the force of the Gas Strut you require for your application use the following guidelines. The extended length of the Gas Strut should be approximately 60% of the door or hatch length - e.g. a 1000mm high door should have a Gas Strut length of approximately 600mm.
