When you are not sure of the force you need for your application to open or close, an adjustable gas strut might be the best solution. When in doubt, it is advisable to choose a gas strut with more force than you actually need. So when necessary, you can reduce the force by releasing gas via the valve, another option would be to use our calculation tools to calculate exactly what power you require.
All our gas struts are equipped with a valve giving us a wide range of possibilities, allowing us to adjust the pressure in the gas strut in such a way that the force exactly matches your application or the gas strut you want to replace. But how can you calculate your gas strut?
Can I adjust the force of a gas strut? Yes, all our gas struts are adjustable gas struts. Our gas struts are shipped with a certain force. These struts have a valve. If you push the valve, the gas is vented out and the force is lower. Read our FAQ about this. Please be careful: when the force is too low, the gas strut becomes unusable.

You can either configure your own gas strut, calculate one or find a replacement for your current gas strut.
