Gas Pistons With Brackets For Controlled Lids

Gas Pistons with Brackets 10-1/2" Depth give you a gas-driven lid support that helps manage heavier fronts where controlled movement matters. The 67 lb push force rating provides strong support, which helps when you are working with substantial doors or work surface panels in lift systems or tables.

This Peter Meier, Inc. unit is part of the Lid Supports and Stays class, so it is built for projects where a lid or front needs consistent motion support over time. The gas piston design is tested over 80,000 cycles, which means it is engineered for repeated everyday use in woodworking or cabinet environments where doors or tops open and close frequently.

The silver finish helps the piston blend into many work surface and table layouts, which can matter when the hardware is exposed inside a cabinet or under a lid. Steel construction paired with a brass and plastic cylinder provides a mix of strength and refined motion, which supports smoother operation during opening and closing.

This KR-A104-300N gas piston is sold individually, which allows you to match the quantity to your specific lid support layout on each project without overbuying. As part of the Wurth Baer Supply offering in lift systems and lid supports, it fits directly into pro cabinet and woodworking workflows that rely on repeatable hardware choices.

Key Gas Piston Details That Support Your Builds

• The 67 lb push force works to support heavier lids or doors, which helps when you are designing lift systems or work surfaces that carry substantial front weights and need a piston sized to the application.
• Steel material in the gas piston body provides a solid structural base, which supports long-term strength when the lid or door is cycled repeatedly on work surfaces and tables.
• The cylinder made of brass and plastic supports controlled gas movement, which helps produce smoother lid motion that is useful in cabinetry where consistent opening and closing feel matters.
• The silver finish ties into many modern cabinet and table interiors, which lets the lid support hardware sit visually clean inside casework or under work tops.
• Gas Pistons are tested over 80,000 cycles, which supports long-service projects where lids and fronts are opened and closed many times each day in shop or residential settings.
• This KR-A104-300N model is sold individually, which helps you match the quantity to your specific design, whether the layout calls for a single lid support or a pair on wider lids.

Mounting Behavior And Quiet Closing Function

This Peter Meier gas piston with brackets is designed to prevent noise when the door closes, which helps reduce slamming sounds on work surfaces, tables, or cabinet lids where quieter operation is valued. By using a gas-based mechanism, the piston manages closing speed, which helps the door settle instead of shutting abruptly.

The integrated brackets establish a defined mounting interface between the piston body and your lid or casework, which supports consistent alignment from install to install on similar projects. Within lift systems and lid supports, that consistent piston behavior helps you repeat the same opening and closing feel across multiple units.

Because the piston is part of Wurth Baer Supply's Work Surface & Tables and Lift Systems category, it fits jobs where lid motion directly affects how a surface is used, such as workstations, bench lids, or specialty table tops.

Using This KR-A104-300N Gas Piston In Projects

Where This Gas Piston Supports Lids And Doors

This KR-A104-300N gas piston with brackets is positioned for use on lids and doors within work surfaces, tables, and lift systems, because it belongs to the Work Surface & Tables and Lid Supports categories. That classification aligns it with projects where a hinged panel needs assisted movement.

The 10-1/2" depth specification defines the piston size for layout planning, which matters when you are working in tighter cabinetry or under-table cavities that demand a specific hardware length. By matching your design to this depth, you can plan hinge locations and clearances around the piston envelope.

Being part of the Lid Supports and Stays product class, the piston serves as an active motion control component rather than simple static support, which is important when the lid must both hold and move in a controlled way. The 67 lb push force rating further positions it for lids that present notable loading, such as thicker worktop segments or heavier cabinet doors used in lift-up configurations.

In woodworking environments supplied by Wurth Baer Supply, this gas piston aligns with cabinet hardware selections where predictable motion is wanted on specialty furniture, shop fixtures, or residential built-ins that fall under the work surface and table umbrella.

Why The 67 Lb Force And Cycle Testing Matter

The 67 lb push force on this Peter Meier gas piston defines how much assistance it provides during motion, which matters when balancing lid weight against opening effort and closing control. Matching lid mass to this force range helps the piston work within its intended performance band.

Gas Pistons are tested over 80,000 cycles, which demonstrates that the gas charge, seals, and moving interfaces are engineered for repeated actuation. In daily-use cabinets or workstations, that cycle life supports long-term, consistent action without frequent hardware changes.

The steel material used in the piston body contributes to structural integrity under that cycling, which matters where the lid is opened many times and any flex in the hardware could affect alignment. A cylinder made of brass and plastic helps refine the internal sliding surfaces and gas control, which in turn affects how smoothly the lid moves through its travel.

The design is stated as preventing noise when the door closes, which directly improves the user experience around work surfaces and tables by reducing impact sounds. That quieter close also lessens shock loading on hinges and casework joints, which supports the overall stability of the installation across the piston life span.
