● For toy box lids, common stroke lengths range from 150mm to 300mm, depending on how much lid movement is desired. Longer strokes are typically needed for larger toy boxes with bigger lids.
● Determine how far you want the lid to open. Common lid opening angles are between 75° to 90°, but this can vary depending on your specific needs. For a larger opening, you may need a longer stroke length or multiple gas struts.
● Gas Strut Diameter
The diameter of the gas strut is usually proportional to the load it supports. For example, a standard 8mm or 10mm diameter is commonly used for toy box lids, but larger models may require a 12mm diameter.
Gas struts for toy box lids are mechanical devices used to assist in the opening and closing of toy boxes, storage chests, or any similar containers that have heavy lids. These gas struts use compressed nitrogen gas to provide controlled lifting and cushioning, making it easy for users—whether children or adults—to open and close the toy box lid safely and without effort.
Force range | The force rating of the gas strut is determined by the weight of the lid. A heavier lid requires a gas strut with a higher force rating. |
Material | Cylinder body: steel (galvanized or sprayed) or stainless steel (corrosion resistant).Piston rod: hard chrome plated steel or stainless steel. |
Sealing material: high-quality fluororubber or polyurethane, effectively preventing dust and dirt from entering the gas spring, ensuring sealing and long-term use. | |
Operating Conditions | Applicable temperature range:Regular models: -20℃~+80℃; special models can withstand -40℃~+120℃. |
Installation
Distinguish between compression type (support force direction is consistent with installation direction) and tension type (reverse support)
Safety Features
Avoid using the machine at full stroke limit, and keep 10%~20% stroke margin to extend life. If frequent high-speed movement is required (such as a robotic arm), a high-response speed model should be selected.
Certification
Industrial applications require compliance with ISO 9001 or industry-specific standards (e.g. TS 16949 for the automotive industry)
● RoHS: Complies with environmental safety requirements, will not release harmful gases during long-term use, and protects the air quality in the car
● SGS: Independent product testing and verification, precise and controllable opening and closing force, easy and smooth operation
Customization options
● Customized options: Customized installation interface, providing a variety of standard joint options (ball head/fork head/eye head) Supports customized special joints, perfectly matching the original installation position
● Customized opening force, accurately calculate the required force according to the weight and size of the door panel, ensuring easy opening with one hand while maintaining a stable opening state
● Customized functional characteristics, optional anti-smashing rebound buffer function, customized safety design with limit protection
● Customized surface treatment and customized colors to perfectly match the car body
