Standard compression gas springs (also known as gas struts) are normally extended, self-contained force generating devices, used in a wide range of industries to provide a compact, high force solution to aid the lifting, counterbalancing, and damping of applications.
Properties and Function of Gas Springs
It is a hydropneumatic adjustment element consisting of a pressure tube, piston rod with piston, as well as a suitable end fitting. It is filled with nitrogen, which, under constant pressure, acts on piston cross sections of different sizes, creating a force in the extension direction. This force can be accurately specified through the individual fill pressure.
Among the advantages of these gas springs – compared with mechanical springs – are their defined speed curve and excellent damping properties, which make handling even heavy lids and doors comfortable. Ease of mounting, compact dimensions, a flat spring characteristic curve and a very broad selection of available strengths and end fittings round out the positive overall picture of gas springs.
