This 90-degree mounting bracket is specifically designed for attaching gas springs in applications where a lid or door needs support when opening at a right angle. The bracket is crafted from AISI 316 stainless steel, ensuring it will not corrode or weaken even in harsh marine environments – perfect for engine compartments, boat galleys, fish lockers, and other damp areas on board.
The compact plate (30x50x30 mm) enables installation even when space is limited. The L-shaped profile firmly holds the ball stud or hinge end of the gas strut, ensuring the proper alignment and geometry for the lift. Pre-drilled holes for fasteners make it easy to secure the bracket with screws or bolts (stainless hardware is recommended). The surface is smoothly polished to eliminate sharp edges and give a professional finish.
Variants & Usage Recommendations:
- Variant 1 (Small): Suited for most standard smaller gas springs – for example, those with an 8–10 mm ball stud. Use this for light to medium-force struts commonly found on smaller hatches, storage seats, or boats up to ~18–20 feet, where the lid being supported is not extremely heavy
- Variant 2 (Large): Designed for more powerful, larger gas springs – for example, with a 13 mm ball stud, used on heavy lids (engine compartment hatches, large deck hatches) and on bigger yachts. This version provides the necessary strength and stability for high-force struts on heavier applications
- When installing the bracket, ensure its positioning allows the gas spring to operate within its optimal range – i.e., not over-compressing or over-extending at the end of stroke. Typically, the bracket attaches to the fixed frame, while the gas spring’s rod end attaches to the moving lid via an appropriate end fitting
- Use each bracket variant with the corresponding ball stud or pin specified for your gas spring. The bracket’s hole or threaded insert will fit standard gas spring mounting hardware. For maximum security, apply a thread-locking compound on the bolts and periodically check the tightness due to the vibrations and motion of the boat
