BRASS VALVE END SOP FEAURES What is a gas strut? Gas struts are hydro pneumatic rams, the gas / oil filled units will give smooth controlled movement to lids, hatches and doors. Gas struts are selfcontained, maintenance free units. When used in accordance with manufacturers guidelines, they will give years of troublefree service. How a gas strut works A gas strut consists of a rod that slides in and out of a pressurised sealed tube. he rod has a piston riveted to one end which prevents it from being forced out of the tube when pressurised. he force of the gas strut is provided by the gas pressure acting on the cross sectional area of the rod. he higher the gas pressure, the higher the force of the strut. he piston has a metering orifice which allows the gas / oil to pass from one side of the piston to the other. By altering the size of this orifice the rate of extension can be varied. he oil within the gas strut produces the damping characteristics throughout the stroke, subject to correct orientation. As the rod extends from a compressed position the oil zone will dampen the movement as it reaches its full extension, giving a smooth controlled stop. he damping characteristics can be changed by using different viscosity and volume of oil in the tube. SEAL UNI CHARACERISICS OF A GAS SRU As a gas strut is compressed, the force increases from an initial value to a final force. his increase can be expressed as force progression values which are shown on the product specification pages. Values are given for standard gas strut sizes. By modifying the design of the strut, the force progression can be altered to suit the application. 05

APPLICAIONS Where are gas struts used? Gas struts are used in a wide variety of industries. Marine Lorries and railers Industrial Machinery Furniture Bus and Coach Machine Guards Caravans and Motorhomes Roof lights and Access Hatches And many more For professional advice on your application, please call us now on 01604 499 332. How can a gas strut be used? Nitro Struts are used to: Aid and assist in lifting Aid controlled movement Counterbalance when raising and lowering Damp movement Support an object in position Adjust position of an object Which gas strut should be used? here are a variety of NitroStruts available to suit different applications. Fixed Force Variable Force raction Pin Locking / Mechanical Locking / Auto Locking Dampers / Dampened Stainless Steel 06

FREQUENLY ASKED QUESIONS WHA IS HE DIFFERENCE BEWEEN A VARIABLE AND FIXED FORCE SRU? A fixed force strut is charged to a specific pressure, prior to dispatch, this would be at the request of the customer. A variable gas strut is supplied at full charge pressure which allows the customer to release the pressure a little at a time until they are happy with the force once the strut is installed in their application. HOW DO I KNOW WHICH SRU O ORDER AND HOW DO I INSALL I? If installing a strut on a new application or replacing a strut with different dimensions or force we always recommend using our free gas strut design service. We are unable to accurately suggest a specific gas strut unless we have full details of the application on which it is going to be installed. You can find an example replacement strut order form on page 77, you can supply the details of your enquiry to sales@metrol.com or visit our design service found here: www.metrol.com/metrolgasstrutsdesignservice WHICH END FIINGS AND BRACKES SHOULD I USE? If you are unsure which end fittings or brackets to use, please refer to our free gas strut design service (link above). We advise the use of ball joints where possible. Utilising ball joints enables you to prolong the life of the gas strut and reduces strain on the end fittings, by removing the risk of side loading. IVE PURCHASED A VARIABLE GAS SRU, HOW DO I DEGAS I? o degas your variable force gas strut, insert the allen key in the valve at the base of the strut (the brass coloured collar) and turn anticlockwise a quarter turn, venting the gas for 1 second at a time. his will release a small amount of gas to allow fine adjustments. For more information see page 19. ARE YOU ABLE O MANUFACURE CUSOM GAS SRUS? If you cannot find the specific size you are looking for amongst our standard range of gas struts, please get in touch and we can discuss your requirements for a custom made gas strut. Please see the example replacement form on page 77 for information on what details will be required. 07

INSALLAION INSRUCIONS For standard compression gas struts we advise the use of ball joints to alleviate possible side loading, and uneven wearing of the piston rod/seals. fig.1 fig.2 Install the strut, piston rod down, for optimum lubrication of the guide and sealing system at all times (see figure 1). Always install the strut in its relaxed state. It is advisable to keep the strut in a single plane of movement. Failure to adhere to this advice may result in a reduced lifespan of the strut. Ensure that the end fittings are tightly fastened onto the thread of the gas struts prior to fitting. If the end fittings require aligning, the piston rod of the gas strut can rotate inside the body (cylinder). Place and hold the piston end fixing on a flat surface, grip the cylinder and firmly twist it until the end fitting is aligned correctly (see figure 2). Fitting brackets When utilising a bracket with a ball stud/end, the procedure to fit it to the relevant ball joint fitting is as follows: 1. Remove the retaining clip from the ball socket by rotating it from around the collar of the socket, and then pull it out from the two locating holes. 2. Ensure the ball socket is fully tightened onto the thread of the strut. hen, using a vice or pair of pliers, grip the ball stud and with a rotating motion, remove the ball stud from the socket. 3. Once removed, place the ball socket over the corresponding bracket and press firmly downwards until a positive click is heard. 4. Once the ball of the bracket is firmly located inside the socket, reinsert the retaining clip into the two locating holes, and clip it back over the collar of the socket. If in any doubt as to the installation procedure please contact Metrol on 01604 499 332. 08

Variable struts are ideal for prototypes, bespoke jobs or applications where a single model of strut is used on a variety of lids, or hatches that require different pressures. he variable force compression and traction struts have the release valve located on the side of the cylinder for easier adjustment when the strut is in situ. For proline struts, the valve is located in the thread, the end fitting must be removed and a special degassing tool must be used to reduce the pressure. his type of strut can be regassed with special equipment or be returned to the factory for regassing. Variable struts are available in mild steel and stainless 316. hese struts, if degassed too much will need to be returned to the factory for regassing. 18

VARIABLE FORCE FORCE ADJUSMEN INSRUCIONS Fit the gas struts with the cylinder uppermost; this prevents oil escaping while venting, and keeps the internal seals lubricated for optimum lifespan. Using the allen key provided, undo the grub screw anticlockwise a quarter turn and vent gas for 1 second, retightening the grub screw. Do not over tighten the grub screw. Once the gas struts have been adjusted, gently brush the grub screw with washing up liquid. If gas can be seen bubbling through the liquid then the grub screw requires further tightening. For advice on how to safely mount gas struts call our technical line: 01604 499332. Repeat this process on the second gas strut, venting an equal amount. Only release the pressure in short bursts to avoid venting too much gas. Each 1 second burst will lower the force by approximately 20N 50N depending on the range. Gas struts are filled with high pressure nitrogen, they should be protected from damage; never open, modify, drill, weld or subject gas struts to excessive heat. est the application by attempting to close the panel and repeat the venting process if the struts are still too powerful. 19

Installed in the closed position, opening the application causes the gas strut to extend, the gas strut force tries to close the application back to its resting state. Advantages raction gas struts are ideal when the application involves a flap or lid that opens with gravity and requires a force to close. hey are easy to fit and adjustable if using the variable type. All stock traction struts are variable and include damping of the return stroke. 27

HOW O ORDER Use SS for stainless steel variant SANDARD SAINLESS SEEL NSFFME NSSSFFME 10 250 B9 E6 800N Also available with: ROD Ø SROKE ROD END FIING UBE END FIING FORCE MECHANICAL LOCKING Mechanical locking struts have a unique mechanism which allows the strut to be either locked in the fully extended position, or the fully compressed position. Locking in the fully extended position eliminates the need for additional locking tubes. he mechanical lock will keep the rod fully extended if the gas struts should lose pressure. he other advantage is that if the strut is used to raise an object to a certain level that may then have an additional load added to it, the strut will remain locked in the fully extended position. he mechanical lock in compression allows the user to set the strut up on an application which may require; a positive lock on a lid or flap in the closed position. the strut to open a lid or flap automatically from the closed lock position upon release of the mechanism. Mechanical locking struts are available with a side release valve for adjusting insitu. Mechanical locking struts are available in stainless steel, however some components are diecast so offer limited corrosion resistance, and may not be suitable in marine or highly corrosive environments. 42

LOCKING SRU RELEASE MECHANISMS A variety of release mechanisms are available for the operation of locking gas struts, this section displays the more popular types but a larger range is available upon request. Direct acting lever mechanisms attach to the rod of the strut. Moving the lever unlocks the strut and allows movement. Remote acting systems use a release head attached to the rod of the strut and a Bowden cable connected to a remote lever or button. his type of mechanism is ideal if the strut is not easily accessible. 63
