A web-based tool or software application assists in determining the appropriate specifications for these compressed gas devices used to lift, lower, and support objects. Typically, inputs like weight, dimensions, and desired opening angle are used to calculate necessary extension force, stroke length, and mounting positions. For instance, designing a hatchback door would necessitate this type of tool to ensure proper functionality and user experience.
Accurate sizing of these components is critical for optimal performance and safety. Improperly specified struts can lead to malfunction, damage, or even injury. Historically, determining specifications involved manual calculations and iterative testing. Modern tools streamline this process, saving engineers and manufacturers significant time and resources while improving precision.
