Description
Overview:
This damper / gas strut is a pressurised support designed to replace JCB part number 331/20895 for smooth, controlled lifting and lowering of canopies, bonnets and service panels on construction and garden machinery. Built with a durable steel body and a corrosion‐resistant finish, it is made to cope with outdoor and workshop conditions. The strut delivers a consistent support force of 460 N to assist with opening and holding panels safely, reducing the effort required and limiting shock loads on hinges and mounts. Dimensions are Length 430 mm (16.93 in), Stroke 385 mm (15.16 in), and Compressed Length 190 mm (7.48 in). Supplied under MPN 994 529, it is a practical, like‐for‐like replacement for worn or weak units on JCB equipment.
