19 Inch 294N Gas Strut
This 19 inch gas strut delivers 294N of force to hold lids, hatches or cabinet doors open on cars, RVs and campers. It extends to 48cm centre-to-centre and compresses to 27.7cm. The black metal housing measures 18mm in diameter with an 8mm rod. One strut is supplied per package.
Thermals Noise Power
The strut operates reliably from -25°C to 70°C without external power or moving parts that generate noise. Gas pressure provides smooth, controlled motion throughout the temperature range. No electricity is consumed and there are no fans or pumps to create sound. The sealed cylinder maintains consistent damping force over its service life.
Build Fitment
An 8mm installation hole is required at each mounting point. The 19cm rod length and 49cm total length determine the pivot geometry for the lid or hatch. Adjustable slow-close speed lets you tune the final closing action. The strut must only be compressed after it is securely mounted; hand compression before installation is not possible. Buyers needing a pair for heavier panels should order two units.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 19 inch gas strut without damaging it?
Mount the 8 mm installation holes first, then let the 294 N strut compress naturally when the lid closes; never push the rod in by hand before it is fixed in place.
What maintenance will the 294 N gas strut need over time?
No routine service is required; if the lid begins to sag below the 66 lb hold force or the rod shows corrosion, replace the unit.
What is the first limit reached when the strut cycles continuously in a hot engine bay?
The sealed gas charge hits its 70 °C upper operating temperature, causing force to drop before any mechanical part wears out.
