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.
