Hello all,

 

Does anyone know what the gas struts used to support the doors are rated in terms of Newtons or pounds force?  I have found a replacement strut sourced here in the states and need to know what force to have them pressurized to.  I am thinking around 200N but I would rather not guess.

 

Thanks.

Hi Erich 

 	"Does anyone know what the gas struts used to support the doors are rated in terms of Newtons or pounds force?" 

 	When I was working on my doors I measured the force on my new struts. It was around ~ 50Pound (could be in the 45 to 55Pound range). If no one else provides you with the info, I am pretty sure I have it documented at the hangar.

The manual states:

  

If the strut becomes too weak for any reason, re-pressurization  must be done with specialist 

equipment. The correct charge should give a force of 180N (40 lb.  force) at room temperature.

Here is a copy of a note from Bob Berube and one from Bud

 

Kim Prout and I (Bud) have a US manufacturer that will refill the struts.  We need 45 lbs normally as we are now using a thicker window which is heavier than the original glass. 25/04/11

 

 

Guys,

At Flight Crafters, we use Easy Lift of North America for gas springs www.bansbach.com part #B333F46-100-300/160N which is an exact duplicate of the Europa Supplied strut. I recently ordered with 2 more pounds pressure 300/165N.  Price is around 95.00 each plus shipping.  If you need 45 pounds, they can make them up as the normal Europa strut is 30 pounds.  Also you can order with or without the valve.  Generally they won't recharge if they are over a year old with the recharge cost at 20.00. Bob Berube

 

 

I hope this helps

Thanks all for the quick turnaround.  Easy Lift is the manufacture I sourced as well.  I have been dealing with Damion.  Easy Lift have a new line called their Quick Ship line which they are introducing at a substantial discount, cost of $50 each with steel ball end fittings.  The part number is QS-15-120-001-XXXN for the strut with valve and J3,M5 for the ball end.  Because the struts have an adjustment valve I will play it safe and order 200N (45lbs) as some folks I have heard from indicated they wished they would have gone a little higher than the 180N.

 

Regards,

Erich
