Zinc Plated Mild Steel End Fixings
Ball sockets, studs,eyelets & clevis forks
We recommend the use of ball studs or ball sockets where possible, as they allow the gas strut to be mounted at an angle. Eyelets require the gas strut to be mounted in-line to prevent side loading and premature failure of the gas strut.
Ball Studs
Recommended for use with most applications as they allow the gas strut to be mounted at an angle.
Ball Sockets
Allows the gas strut to be mounted at an angle without side-loading. Also available in plastic / nylon.
Eyelets
Used for mounting onto a bolt or pin. Eyelets are mounted "offset" as opposed to clevis forks.
Clevis Forks
Allows inline mounting (as opposed to eyelets which are offset). Can be supplied with a pin.
Inline Ball Studs
Inline ball studs have the male thread running parallel to the gas strut piston rod, rather than at 90 degrees.
Ball Extensions
Ball with a male thread for use with ball sockets end fixings. Commonly found on car tailgates.
