Gas Springs

What are Gas Springs?

Gas Springs are hydro pneumatic rams. This means that they are made up of a cylindrical structure filled with nitrogen gas, a piston rod and a seal. Gas springs are self-contained, so require no further gas after they’ve been assembled. These springs are often referred to as Gas struts, but they have a few key design diversities that make them suitable for different applications. Gas springs are best suited for controlled movement to lids, hatches, and doors, while gas struts are typically used in vehicle suspension for shock absorption purposes.

Types of Gas Springs

We are a leading supplier of adjustable, fixed force, traction, and stainless-steel gas springs, with rod diameters ranging from 0.24in to 0.79in and forces from 30N to 7500N. We additionally supply gas spring end fittings, accessories, and replacement gas springs, if this is something you need. Adjustable gas springs can alter the force exerted, which is beneficial for varying or unknown pressure amounts. Alternatively, fixed force gas springs have a predetermined force, if you already know the required force for an application. Stainless steel gas springs are suited for environments that are subject to corrosion, ensuring that your springs do not incur damage from water or moisture. Traction gas springs use pull components instead of push ones, making them perfect for assisting movement.

Applications of Gas Springs

Gas springs are versatile and long-lasting, making them ideal for several applications. Industries in which they are used include transportation, healthcare, agriculture, and marine environments. Gas springs can be found in a range of vehicles, including motorhomes, trucks, and trailers. They are also used in adjustable furniture, such as hospital beds and other healthcare equipment. Gas springs are suitable for applications that require:

Lifting
Counterbalancing
Damping
Tensioning
Clamping
Ejection
Anti-Vibration
Safety-Overload
