  • 24 inch extended length fits common automotive and RV applications

Gas Strut Compressor 294N Force

This 24 inch gas strut delivers 294N of force per unit, holding up to 66 lbs on a lid, hatch or cabinet door. The black metal body extends to 60cm centre-to-centre and compresses to 33.7cm. Installation uses simple hand tools and the package includes one strut.

Suits Lightweight Lids And Hatches

Builders fitting a car bonnet, RV compartment, camper window or cabinet door that weighs around 30kg will find the 294N rating appropriate. Buyers who need to support heavier panels or who require a pair of struts for balanced lift should look at higher-force or multi-pack options instead.

Check Mounting Points Before Ordering

Verify that your application has 8mm mounting holes spaced for a 60cm extended length and a 33.7cm compressed length. The rod diameter is 8mm and the housing diameter is 18mm, so brackets must match these dimensions. Confirm the operating temperature range of -25 to 70°C suits the installation environment.

Questions about this item

What mounting hole size do I need on my lid or frame for the 8 mm connecting rod?

The strut uses an 8 mm (0.31") installation hole diameter, so drill or use existing 8 mm holes on both the lid and the fixed frame.

Will the 60 cm extended length and 33.7 cm compressed length fit the same hinge points as my old 24" struts?

Yes, the centre-to-centre dimensions match a standard 24" (60 cm extended, 33.7 cm compressed) mounting pattern, so existing hinge points align directly.

How can I confirm the strut is operating correctly once installed?

After mounting, the lid should open and close smoothly with adjustable soft-close speed, hold 66 lbs (294 N) open without sag, and function across -25 °C to 70 °C.
