Tailgate strut selection

Start with the actual strut load case.

Tailgate strut motion requires the gearmotor, mechanical interface, load profile, and operating conditions to work together. Start with the required force or torque, travel timing, duty cycle, available envelope, and electrical architecture.

01

Map the motion requirement

Share the strut arrangement, target opening or closing behavior, load condition, and operating cycle.

02

Define the interfaces

Confirm the output connection, mounting, wiring, feedback needs, and available 28 mm installation space.

03

Validate the program

Align the proposed configuration with application-specific performance, noise, lifetime, and test requirements before release.

Tailgate program interfaces

Configure the system around the vehicle mechanism.

The 28 mm platform is a starting point. Mechanical, electrical, and validation requirements are defined around the tailgate strut program.

Ratio & motor direction

Select the gear ratio and motor direction around the required strut motion and load case.

Output interface

Define the shaft, spline, coupling, or other interface needed for the strut mechanism.

Wire & connector

Confirm lead length, connector, pinout, and any required signal or feedback interface.

Mounting package

Coordinate mounting geometry, housing constraints, and integration with the surrounding mechanism.

Noise & lifetime targets

Agree target conditions and test methods for projects with acoustic or endurance requirements.

Production integration

Coordinate samples, validation, assembly, packing, and delivery readiness with one project path.

Interface reference

Define the mechanical and electrical handoff early.

Output shaft form, wire arrangement, connector, pinout, and mounting details should be agreed against the tailgate mechanism. The options shown are representative references, not a fixed specification.

Validation path

Agree the verification path before release.

The applicable tests are defined by the project. A typical path connects incoming and in-process control with functional, torque, noise, and final inspection checks.

Project documentation

Confirm the documents needed for your program.

Documentation is agreed by project scope and may be supplied with samples, approval builds, or production shipments.

  • Product datasheet
  • Dimensional or interface drawing
  • Project-specific test records
  • Packing list
  • Material or compliance declaration on request
  • Program-specific quality documentation on request

Tailgate strut project checklist

A focused platform for tailgate strut motion

This 28 mm DC planetary gearmotor platform is KEY-CRON’s flagship focus for vehicle tailgate strut projects. It is intended to support controlled motion around a specific mechanism, rather than be selected only by a catalog number.

The engineering discussion should confirm the strut geometry, load case, target movement, available space, output interface, electrical connection, noise expectation, and expected durability before a configuration is released.

Product information and validation

The interface drawing on this page is provided as an indicative engineering reference. Final configuration, drawings, electrical definition, performance data, and validation plan are supplied or confirmed for the agreed project version.

FAQ

Common questions before a project starts.

Is the 28 mm tailgate strut gearmotor a fixed catalog model?+

It is a focused platform for tailgate strut motion, not a one-size-fits-all catalog promise. Final ratio, output interface, wiring, noise target, lifetime requirement, and approval tests are confirmed around the actual mechanism.

What information do you need to recommend a configuration?+

The most useful inputs are the strut or mechanism drawing, target opening and closing behavior, load or torque requirement, voltage, available 28 mm envelope, output interface, noise target, lifetime requirement, annual quantity, and timing.

Can the output shaft, connector, and mounting be customized?+

Yes. Shaft or spline form, coupling interface, wire length, connector, pinout, mounting geometry, and surrounding housing constraints can be discussed as project-specific interfaces.

How do you handle noise and lifetime requirements?+

Noise and lifetime targets should be written into the project requirement with test conditions. We then coordinate the proposed configuration and validation path before sample or production release.

The drawing and interface information on this page are indicative of the 28 mm platform. Final dimensions, electrical connection, performance, noise targets, lifetime requirements, and application approval must be confirmed for the specific tailgate strut program.
