The rod features a secure M6 x 1 thread connection, ensuring compatibility with mechanical assemblies and fixtures. With a maximum force rating of 650N and a minimum force of 100N, it delivers constant and controllable force suitable for industrial automation, electronics enclosures, mechanical panels, and commercial installations.

The ball & socket joint design simplifies installation, allowing for easy positional control and alignment. Its end connectors, crafted from high-quality nylon and steel, protect against corrosion and ensure robust jointing with minimal maintenance. The maintenance-free nature of the strut reduces operational downtime, making it a reliable solution for use in manufacturing, laboratories, HVAC systems, and equipment covers.

A pre-fitted Vari-Lift Valve enables precise degassing and force adjustment using the supplied allen key, granting users flexibility to tune the strut’s performance for specific requirements. This gas strut is often used for applications requiring smooth, controlled movement with constant force, such as automation, machinery, access panel lifting, and heavy-duty covers. Installation is straightforward with safety facilitated by mounting the strut with the rod down and Vari-Lift Valve uppermost.

Typical industrial use cases include automation systems, electronics housings, mechanical covers, industrial panels, laboratory instrument panels, HVAC access covers, and heavy-duty commercial applications. The strut is supplied with 2 x Swift & Sure Vari-Lift Gas Struts, 4 x pre-fitted ball joint end fittings, 4 x optional eye end fittings, 1 x Allen key for de-gassing, and an instruction leaflet, ensuring it is ready for integration into complex assemblies.
