The lifting piston H is a necessary element to support the weight of cupboard and cabinet doors, allowing these compartments to be opened and closed smoothly. It is suitable for 16 mm and 19 mm thick wood and aluminum doors with a straight hinge of the cup with a 15 mm overlap. This piston is recommended for doors less than 450 mm wide, in case of exceeding this measurement it is necessary to use 2 shock absorbers. This piece is made of steel and plastic with an aluminum-colored finish. It has an opening angle of 80 °, 90 °, and 100 °; and a total force of 5 kg. The product is offered in packages of 20 units.

The following video shows how you can easily assemble a lifting piston.

We have a table for calculating the weight of a door, which is necessary to know when choosing guy ropes and measurements.Depending on the material of the door, as well as its dimensions, the result will be the weight of the door (kg) that you can use to calculate to the necessary strength of the measure (Kg x cm).

We have a table for calculating the pistons or dampners, where you can obtain a response with the furniture data.The choice will depend on the width and the height of the door, as well as the material it is manufactured out of, in addition to the stroke of the piston or damper itself.The result will be the number of pistons or dampners and the necessary strength of each one.

For the same force required in both folding and lift up doors, we recommend that you only use a single piston or damper in a door with a width of less than 450 mm, and that you use two pistons or dampers for a door that is wider than 450 mm.
