How to Choose the Right Strut: Force Rating (Newton) and Length
1. Choosing the Right Newton Force Rating (for Weight Handling)
The Newton rating indicates how much force the strut can support. Choosing the correct force rating is essential to ensure your strut can handle the load effectively and safely. Here's a basic guide to help you match the weight with the appropriate Newton value:
Light Loads (up to 10 kg / 22 lbs)
For light-duty applications, choose struts with a force rating of 100 N to 200 N.
Medium Loads (10-30 kg / 22-66 lbs)
For moderate loads, struts with a force rating between 200 N to
500 N will be ideal.
Heavy Loads (30-60 kg / 66-132 lbs)
For heavier applications, choose struts with a force rating of 500 N to 800 N.
Very Heavy Loads (60+ kg / 132+ lbs)
For large, heavy-duty applications, select struts rated 800 N and above.
2. Choosing the Right Length
To ensure the correct fit and avoid incorrect orders, follow these steps when selecting the right length for your struts:
Measure the Distance Between Mounting Points:
The strut length is measured from the center of one mounting point to the center of the other. Ensure you measure accurately between the installation points for a proper fit.
Consider Compression and Extension:
Struts are designed to compress and extend. Depending on your application, the strut will either be compressed or extended. Be sure to consider both the fully compressed and fully extended lengths when choosing your strut.
Allow for Some Flexibility:
If you're uncertain about the exact length, it’s often safer to choose a strut that is slightly longer or shorter (within acceptable tolerance ranges) than the measured length. This will help ensure proper fitment and functionality.
Check Product Specifications:
We recommend reviewing the full specifications of each strut model, as available lengths may vary between models. If you're unsure which length to choose, feel free to contact us with your specific requirements, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
