Industrial & Heavy Duty Gas Springs
Heavy duty industrial gas springs and struts for machinery guards, access doors, hatches, and adjustable workbenches. We custom-manufacture compression, locking, and tension gas springs with forces up to 2,000 N for industrial OEMs.
- Heavy Duty Force Ratings
- Guard and Hatch Control
- Stainless and Tension Options
Where We Fit
One Factory Floor, Three Ways to Move
From heavy stamping press guards to stainless food-processing hopper flaps and ergonomic workbenches, here is where each industrial gas strut does the work.
Machinery Guards, Doors and Hatches
Hydraulic-damped machinery guard gas struts, hatch gas struts, and toolbox gas struts for safe lift support.
Stainless Hopper Flaps and Chutes
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel gas springs and pull-in tension gas springs for washdown doors and chutes.
Ergonomic Tilting Workbenches
Rigid oil-locking heavy duty gas springs that hold height-adjustable workbenches and assembly jigs rock-solid.
Choose Your Series
Pick the Industrial Spring by How the Load Moves
Ask two questions: does the cover push open, pull closed, or lock at mid-stroke? The answers point to one of five industrial gas spring series.
| Series | Best For | Locking and Motion | Force (F1) | Stroke | Product Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NTZ | Machinery guards, heavy doors, roof hatches | Hydraulic damped lift | 3.4 to 450 lbf (15 to 2,000 N) | 1.6 to 17.7 in (40 to 450 mm) | Quote NTZ |
| NTF | Toolboxes, generator covers, service panels | Free lift support | 3.4 to 450 lbf (15 to 2,000 N) | 1.6 to 17.7 in (40 to 450 mm) | Quote NTF |
| NTA | Adjustable workbenches, tilting assembly tables | Rigid in extension | 11 to 281 lbf (50 to 1,250 N) | 0.4 to 19.7 in (10 to 500 mm) | View NTA |
| NTB | Press fixtures, downward-loaded platforms | Rigid in compression | 11 to 112 lbf (50 to 500 N) | 0.8 to 13.8 in (20 to 350 mm) | View NTB |
| NTG | Forklift, crane and cab operator seating | Elastic (both directions) | 11 to 225 lbf (50 to 1,000 N) | 0.4 to 19.7 in (10 to 500 mm) | View NTG |
Inside the Cylinder
Nitrogen Lifts and Oil Controls
Every Newton heavy duty gas spring is charged with high-purity nitrogen to deliver smooth, repeatable lift force up to 2,000 N. Internal hydraulic oil governs how that force behaves: in NTZ hydraulic gas struts it acts as a velocity brake at the end of travel so heavy steel guards never slam hinges, while in NTA and NTB locking struts it locks the piston rod rigid under workstation loads. Need pull-in force instead? Our tension gas springs reverse the internal seal arrangement so the rod retracts smoothly.
Built for Harsh Duty Cycles: From sub-zero outdoor utility vaults to high-cycle automated production lines and washdown zones, we calibrate gas charge, rod finish, and multi-lip seals for long service life.
Make It Yours
Sized, Finished and Fitted to Your Machine
Once the series is selected, custom dimensions make it fit your frame and hinge geometry. Rods run from 0.16 to 0.47 in (4 to 12 mm), and cylinders from 2.4 to 25.6 in (60 to 650 mm) long.
Stainless Steel and Protective Finishes
Stainless steel gas springs and struts for washdown and marine use, plus Black, Chrome, and Silver Gray.
Heavy Duty End Fittings
Threaded studs, welded single-ear eyelets, ball joints, or double-ear clevis brackets for high-load hinges.
Remote Cable and Lever Releases
Ergonomic push-button Bowden cables and direct lever actuators unlock NTA, NTB, and NTG struts effortlessly.
How We Work
From First Sample to OEM Production
Three straightforward steps from your machine guard or hatch CAD drawing to 100% force-tested production batches.
-
Share Your Envelope
Send a CAD file, drawing, or sample part number with door weight, center of gravity, and pivot coordinates.
-
Validate Prototype Samples
We build custom prototype samples to your exact Newton force, stroke, and damping spec for cycle testing.
-
Scale to Industrial OEM Supply
Every production batch is 100% force-verified so every shipment matches your approved master sample.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Gas Springs
Heavy duty industrial gas struts, stainless steel gas springs, and tension springs up to 2,000 N.
When should I use a tension gas spring instead of a compression gas strut?
Standard compression industrial gas struts push outward to lift doors and hoods open. Tension gas springs work in reverse: the rod is retracted at rest and pulls inward to assist closing or to support drop-down chutes and hopper flaps where mounting space behind the hinge is limited.
Do you offer stainless steel gas springs for washdown or outdoor environments?
Yes. We supply corrosion-resistant stainless steel gas springs and heavy duty gas struts with treated rods and seals built for food processing washdowns, marine hatches, chemical plants, and outdoor utility enclosures.
How do you size a heavy duty gas strut for a machinery guard or roof hatch?
Send us the door or guard weight, center of gravity distance from the hinge, opening angle, and mounting space. Our engineers calculate the exact F1 Newton rating and damping profile so the cover lifts smoothly and stays safely open.
How fast can industrial equipment OEMs get prototype samples?
We confirm prototype lead times with your quote. Every sample is built to your full force, stroke, and end-fitting specification, or reverse-engineered to replace an existing industrial gas strut.
