Traction Gas Springs
Traction gas springs differ from standard gas springs because they work in the opposite direction. Instead of pushing, they pull components together and are commonly used to assist movements. These springs are ideal for closing lids, flaps, or ramps smoothly and safely.
How Do Traction Gas Springs Work?
A traction gas spring is like a traditional gas spring in that the body component is pressurized with nitrogen gas. A lubricated rod moves in and out of the body element to assist with smooth motion. However, unlike a regular gas spring, the rod is relaxed inside the cylinder. When the rod is extended, the cylinder pulls the rod back in through a controlled movement. This makes traction gas springs excellent for controlling the motion of lids or flaps that close vertically.

When to Use Traction Gas Springs
Traction gas springs are commonly used to provide a controlled motion, such as closing a lid. They are also used to dampen opening mechanisms by providing resistance to the opening force. This can help make the opening motion smoother and more controlled. Traction gas springs are very versatile as they are available in a wide range of different forces.

Extension Spring or Traction Gas Spring?
While extension springs (or tension springs) are versatile and often less expensive than traction gas springs, they are limited in strength by comparison. Traction gas springs can provide a much greater pull force for your application.
