What is stabilus lift O Mat?
The LIFT-O-MAT gas spring is a hydropneumatic adjustment element consisting of a pressure tube, piston rod with piston, as well as a suitable end fitting. It is filled with nitrogen, which, under constant pressure, acts on piston cross sections of different sizes, creating a force in the extension direction.
How do you read a stabilus number?
The number is listed in the red square and consists of six digits or 4 digits and 2 letters. The number to the right is the pressure (here: 900N).
Are stabilus struts good?
This strut fit perfectly and works perfectly. Higher quality than some other brands that have a lot of friction – this one works smoothly and easily and is well balanced.
How do you lock a stabilus lift mat?
It is locked by actuating the lever on the piston rod. The function areas can be arranged in any form over the entire stroke. It can be compressed independent of the lever position, like a standard LIFT-O- MAT.
How do I know which gas shocks to mount?
The force required to hold the lid open (F1) can be calculated using the formula: Gas Spring Force (F1) = Mass of lid x Centre of Gravity / Radius of Force x Number of Springs. The calculations show that the closer towards the hinge the moving mounting point gets, the higher the opening force required.
Where are strong arm lift supports made?
the U.S.A.
