25 kg liftgate strut for doors and lids
This 25 kg compression gas spring suits horizontally hinged doors, lids, hoods and canopies that need assisted lifting and controlled closing. The 170 mm stroke and 450 mm hole-to-hole length match many automotive and garage storage applications. It is sold as a single unit in new condition.
Metal body with 9 mm ball-socket mounts
The black finished tube measures 230 mm and 22 mm in diameter, while the rod is 10 mm thick. Each end has a 9 mm hole for standard ball studs, allowing bolt-on installation without welding. The 317 g weight keeps added mass low on lightweight panels.
Check stroke, length and mounting points before
Verify that your hinge geometry provides at least 170 mm of travel and that the centre-to-centre distance between mounts is close to 450 mm. Confirm the existing ball studs accept a 9 mm socket and that the 22 mm tube diameter clears surrounding structure. The 25 kg force rating must match the panel weight for balanced operation.

Questions about this item
What does the 55 lb force rating mean for how much weight this gas strut can actually lift?
The 55 lb force rating indicates the strut exerts 25 kg of compression force. It will lift or hold a lid that applies up to roughly 55 lb at the mounting point, depending on hinge geometry and angle.
Will the 9 mm mounting holes and 10 mm rod fit my existing brackets without new hardware?
Each end has a 9 mm hole for a bolt or ball stud. The rod is 10 mm diameter and the tube is 22 mm, so brackets must accept those dimensions and the 450 mm hole-to-hole spacing.
How do I install this strut so the rod seal lasts, and what is the common mistake?
Mount the tube higher than the rod with the piston rod pointing down when closed. This keeps oil on the seal. The common mistake is installing it upside down, which dries the seal and shortens life.
