Gas struts knowledge base guide
A common enquiry experienced by the folks at FDB Panel Fittings goes along the lines: "I have a tail gate, machine guard, skylight or cabinet door that needs supporting/lifting/counterbalancing – how can you help?"
To answer these questions, and may be more, FDB Panel Fittings has published a gas struts knowledge base guide to provide information on applications, operation, key selection criteria, force characteristics, life expectancy and standard sizes.
The document is available at www.fdb.co.uk/downloads/knowledge-base.htm and aims to give enough guidance to introduce gas struts to new users or to help experienced users to specify a suitable unit, the company claims.
A company spokesman suggested that the Knowledge Base Guides are backed by the extensive experience of staff at FDB Panel Fittings who can help refine user choice from the standard product range or to define custom requirements. These include use on coaches, horse boxes, medical/rehab equipment, as well as AISI 316 stainless steel units for marine, off-shore, food and pharmaceutical industries.
