20 kg force gas spring
This 20 kg force gas spring uses an 18 mm tube and a 200 mm rod to assist lifting, holding and counter-balancing tasks. The black and silver metal body weighs 266 g and is supplied as a single unit. It suits horizontally hinged doors, lids, hoods and canopies in garage or shop environments.
Who it suits and who it does not
Builders who need a 20 kg lift force with an 18 mm tube and 200 mm rod will find this spring a direct fit. Buyers who want more storage, a different force rating or a shorter or longer stroke should look at something else. Anyone needing a stainless finish or a locking mechanism will not be served by this model.
Installation and common issues
Mounting points must align with the 200 mm rod length and 18 mm tube diameter so the spring compresses and extends without binding. The unit ships ready to install with no fluid to add or pressure to adjust. Misaligned brackets or exceeding the 20 kg force rating are the usual causes of premature wear or bent rods.

Questions about this item
Does this 200mm gas spring need a specific mounting bracket to install on my cabinet?
The unit is supplied as a single gas spring; you will need compatible end fittings or brackets that match the 18mm tube diameter for secure mounting.
Can I pair this 20kg force strut with an older, weaker spring on the same lid?
Using a 20kg spring alongside a lower-force unit will create uneven lift; both sides should carry the same rated force for balanced operation.
How do I confirm the 266g strut is holding the lid open correctly after fitting?
Open the lid fully — it should stay in position without drifting down; if it creeps closed, the spring force is insufficient for the lid weight.
