help Hafele Blumotion Soft-Close Gas Strut FAQ
What is Blumotion technology and who makes it?
Blumotion is a soft-close damping technology developed by Blum, an Austrian manufacturer of premium cabinet hardware. Häfele integrates Blumotion damping into its gas struts to provide smooth, silent closure of overhead cabinet doors.
Can the Häfele Blumotion gas strut be used on glass cabinet doors?
Yes, the gas strut includes universal mounting brackets designed for wood, aluminum, and glass doors. This makes it versatile for kitchen cabinetry as well as glass-fronted display cases where a silent, controlled close is especially desirable.
How do I choose the correct force rating for my cabinet door?
The correct gas strut force, measured in newtons, depends on the door's weight, height, and width. Häfele provides load calculation charts in its product documentation that match specific strut strengths to door dimensions to ensure the door stays open when lifted and closes gently when released.
Are Häfele Blumotion gas struts compatible with Blum's own Aventos lift systems?
Häfele gas struts are designed as universal components and are not directly interchangeable with Blum's proprietary Aventos Blumotion struts, which are engineered specifically for the Aventos HK, HL, and HS lift mechanism profiles. If you have an existing Aventos system, you should use Blum-branded replacement struts for proper fit and function.
