RIDEX Tailgate struts review 219G0021
My boot kept dropping on my head. I hope it fits! You do need to add BOOT and DAMPER or similar to the search function. Took a while to navigate to find.
RIDEX boot gas springs are of the budget price segment. Despite their low price, they are of excellent quality. They are produced by same-name company with headquarters in Berlin.
Types
According to damping principle there are two types of gas struts:
Pneumatic. They are filled with compressed gas, which leaks between two chambers, divided by a piston. This gas adjusts the push-out speed and force of rod, ensuring even deceleration. And due to the ability to adjust the boot lid half-opened, RIDEX boot gas springs suit perfectly for operation in conditions of small space, for instance, for opening the boot lid in a room with low ceilings. Position of the rod doesn’t affect damping efficiency. However, performance of these springs gets significantly worse in the cold.
Hydraulic. They work faster, providing sharp decrease of piston speed at the end of its movement. In such parts pressurized gas is responsible for rod pushing out, while damping at the end of movement is performed by oil. They are more rigid in comparison with gas springs, but they demonstrate better operational characteristics in cold season. However, their operation can also be compromised at extremely low temperatures, when the oil viscosity increases significantly. Their damping characteristics can also worsen in the heat, as lubricating material gets more fluid due to overheating. Also, as the hydraulic springs construction presupposes the oil chamber, they should be mounted with the rod down only.
4 facts about RIDEX boot gas springs
Due to additional elements, they are able to lift and hold a load at −40 to +80 °C temperature range.
High-quality and durable seals perform air-tightness of the parts regardless of operational conditions and loads. This means that the pressure inside of the struts, and consequently, their efficiency will be preserved on a high level during the whole operational lifetime.
Durable anti-corrosion protection guarantees parts integrity even in conditions of moist climate.
Due to durable materials, resistant to rod deformations, the components cope with high loads well.
