Gas Spring Force Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Gas Spring Force (Fs):

\[ F_s = \frac{W \cdot X}{N \cdot Y} \]

Where:

\(F_s\) is the Gas Spring Force in Newtons
\(W\) is the Weight of the object in kilograms
\(X\) is the Distance from the mounting point to the center of the object in meters
\(N\) is the Number of springs
\(Y\) is the Distance from the hinge point to the moving mounting point in meters

A gas spring force is defined as the total force each gas spring must exert to move an object of a certain weight and distance from the moving axis.

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ F_s = \frac{50 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 0.5} = 50 \text{ Newtons} \]

The Gas Spring Force is 50 Newtons.

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ F_s = \frac{75 \cdot 1.5}{3 \cdot 0.6} = 62.5 \text{ Newtons} \]

The Gas Spring Force is 62.5 Newtons.
