Key Features
Size range: 12–28 inch extended length covers most hatch/liftgate layouts
Force options: 300–800N (≈67–180 lbf) for light to heavy doors
Smooth motion: nitrogen-charged with oil damping for soft-open/soft-close
Durable seals: low-leak NBR/PU seal pack for long service life (≥40,000 cycles)
Corrosion protection: black QPQ nitrided rod standard; SS304/SS316 available for coastal/marine use
All-weather: -30°C to +80°C (-22°F to +176°F) performance
Quick install: ball sockets/eyelets snap onto 10–13 mm studs; includes clip retainers
OEM/ODM: custom stroke, force, logos, brackets, and packaging

How to Choose (Quick Guide)
Measure length
With hatch open, measure center-to-center between mounts; choose an extended length close to that value.
Pick force
Small hatch/panel: 300–400N per strut
Medium liftgate: 500–600N per strut
Heavy glass/fiberglass door: 700–800N per strut
Use two struts to balance load and protect hinges.
Mounting orientation
Install rod end down when closed to keep seals lubricated and extend life.
Installation (Typical)
- Support the hatch safely.
- Pry the retaining clip slightly, push the socket onto the ball stud, then re-seat the clip.
- Cycle open/close to verify full travel and no interference.
