Description
Overview:
This damper / gas strut is a replacement support for the canopy and bonnet on the Compair 25 air compressor. It is a gas‐charged strut with a robust metal body and piston rod designed to provide smooth, controlled movement during opening and closing. Precision dimensions help ensure a straightforward swap with the original unit: A = 515 mm, B = 455 mm, C = 200 mm. With a force rating of 1000 N, it offers stable support to reduce slam, vibration, and undue stress on hinges and fixings. Supplied to match the specification of Compair 25 (MPN 997 240), it helps maintain safe access for routine checks and servicing while keeping the enclosure secure in use. Suitable for workshop, site, and mobile compressor setups.
Key Features:
- Direct-fit replacement for Compair 25 canopy/bonnet support (MPN 997 240)
- Stable 1000 N force for controlled lifting and lowering
- Dimensions A 515 mm, B 455 mm, C 200 mm to match original fitment
- Smooth damping to protect panels, hinges, and seals from shock loads
- Durable construction for long service in workshop and site conditions
- Helps reduce operator effort and improves access safety
- Consistent performance across repeated open/close cycles
- Straightforward installation using existing mounting points to minimise downtime
- Suitable as a like-for-like replacement for worn or weak gas struts
Typical Applications:
Supporting and controlling the opening and closing of compressor canopies and bonnets on Compair 25 units. Commonly used after loss of gas pressure in the original strut, hinge fatigue, or when panels no longer stay open reliably. Useful for routine maintenance access, daily inspections, filter checks, and service work where a stable, hands-free hold-open is required.
