1. Spring Mechanism: The electric tailgate strut uses a spring mechanism to support the weight of the trunk lid. When the tailgate is opened, the strut compresses, storing energy in the spring. When the tailgate is released, the spring expands, lifting the lid to its fully open position. The strut is designed to provide a smooth and controlled opening and closing motion, preventing the tailgate from slamming shut or dropping unexpectedly.
2. Electric Actuation: The strut is equipped with an electric motor that assists in the opening and closing of the tailgate. This motor is controlled by a switch, often integrated into the vehicle's key fob, dashboard, or tailgate itself. When the switch is activated, the motor engages, either extending or retracting the strut to open or close the tailgate. This eliminates the need for manual force, providing convenience especially when hands are full or in inclement weather conditions.
1. Convenience: Electric tailgate struts provide a hands-free operation, which is particularly useful when carrying items or in situations where manual operation of the tailgate would be inconvenient or difficult. With the press of a button or a remote control, the tailgate opens or closes automatically, making it easier for users to load and unload the trunk without needing to physically lift the tailgate.
2. Safety and Control: These struts ensure a controlled and safe opening and closing of the tailgate. They prevent the tailgate from falling suddenly, which could be dangerous or cause damage to the vehicle or surrounding objects. The electric struts also help in dampening the closing motion, reducing the risk of injury from a forcefully shutting tailgate and protecting the vehicle's paint and components from damage.
