Function

The electric tailgate strut has three main functions. First, the struts provide support when the tailgate is opened, ensuring that the tailgate is stable at the intended opening Angle and preventing accidental closing due to gravity or wind. Secondly, it can be connected to an electric switch or transmission system to help the motor quickly open the tail door, reducing the force of manual pulling, making the operation easier. Finally, during the closing of the tailgate, the design of the strut ensures that it will not be accidentally closed by external forces, thus enhancing the safety of use.

Structure

  An electric tailgate strut usually consists of several key parts. The first is the pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, which is used in most struts to generate a support force through gas or liquid pressure, helping the tailgate to remain stable when opened. The second is the support rod, usually made of metal or high-strength plastic material, which plays the role of bearing and connecting, and its telescopic structure is designed to adapt to different opening angles. In addition, the struts are equipped with connectors to secure them at the connection points between the tailgate and the body, ensuring stability when working.
