A re-pressurising service for gas spring struts has been established by midlands based SGS Engineering Solutions. Designed as a cost effective operation, the service is claimed to be much more economical than unit replacement.
The company can supply new gas struts online at www.sgs-engineering.com/shop/categories/search/gas-struts if required or refurbish units for commercial operations e.g. transport companies, where their same day turn-around can prove invaluable by ensuring minimum off-road periods. SGS also offer a walk-in service where members of the public can have motor vehicle bonnet and tailgate struts re-pressurised while they wait.
SGS specialise in the replacement of all makes and model of vehicle boot & bonnet gas struts including Ford, Renault, Mazda, Mercedes, Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, Honda, Saab and Volkswagen.
Used widely for both domestic and commercial applications, the self contained power unit in gas spring struts provides controlled lift, lowering or counter-balance force wherever a cover, door or panel is either opened or closed. Loss of pressurisation can lead to safety or security breaches, and immediate rectification is recommended to prevent avoidable accidents or other losses.
Typical applications include covers and guards on machinery, all aspects of the transport industry including aircraft, boats, trains and all motor vehicles including farm equipment. Office machines, adjustable furniture, automatic opening windows and orthopaedic beds are also among high volume OEM applications which utilise struts.
The strut must be removed from the host equipment and sent to SGS Engineering's workshop. Gas struts up to 2000mm in length and 50mm diameter can be accommodated for. The level of pressure can be increased from an original pressure setting to provide operating conditions to suit individual requirements. Pressures up to 2500 Newton's can be achieved for heavy duty applications.
SGS Engineering Solutions is also equipped to carry out repairs or modifications to gas struts. Rod length adjustments can be undertaken and a selection of rod end terminations, such as ball joints, can be fitted. The company also operate a nationwide service with mobile engineers for the service, maintenance, inspection, repair and replacement of pneumatic and hydraulic equipment, loading bays & docking shelters and are the leading UK Power Team distributor.
