  GAS STRUTS 0-99 NEWTON

  <p>The gas strut (or lift-o-mat damper) supports and guides the opening of light lids and doors, stopping them from staying stuck open or slamming shut.</p> <p><strong>Force in Newtons</strong>: the <strong>0-99N</strong> range is the lightest in the line-up, suited to small, lightweight lids — for example on compact vacuum packers (mod. E60/T60) or kneader lids.

  GAS STRUT 100-199 NEWTON

  <p>The gas strut (also called a lift-o-mat damper) supports and guides the opening of lids, covers and doors on machines such as heat sealers, vacuum chambers and small vacuum packers, preventing them from staying stuck open or slamming shut.</p> <p><strong>Force in Newtons</strong>: the <strong>100-199N</strong> range covers light-to-medium weight lids &mdash; a middle ground between the lighter models (<a href="/en/gas-struts-0-99-newton.html">0-99N</a>) and those for heavier loads (<a href="/en/gas-struts-1000-1500-newton.html">1000-1500N</a>). Too little force and the lid falls back down; too much and it snaps upward: it always needs to be matched to the weight and geometry of the original door.</p> <p><strong>How to choose the right spare part</strong>: besides the force in Newtons, the <strong>stroke length</strong> (extended and retracted length) and the <strong>mounting hole diameter</strong> on the brackets also matter. Brands in range: Lift-o-mat, Valko.</p> <p>For other gas struts go back to <a href="/en/gas-struts.html">Gas Struts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>How do I know how many Newtons I need?</strong><br>The force is usually printed on the body of the original strut; alternatively it needs to be calculated from the weight and geometry of the lid to be supported.</p> <p><strong>Can I fit a stronger strut than the original?</strong><br>No: an oversized strut makes the lid snap upward instead of guiding it, which is a risk to the user.</p>

  GAS STRUTS 1000-1500 NEWTON

  <p>The gas strut (or lift-o-mat damper) supports and guides the opening of heavy lids and doors, stopping them from slamming shut or staying stuck halfway open.</p> <p><strong>Force in Newtons</strong>: the <strong>1000-1500N</strong> range is the most powerful in the line-up, suited to large, heavy lids such as bigger vacuum chamber covers.
