There are many types of gas springs, includingcompression gas spring,locking gas spring,stainless steel gas spring,tension/traction gas spring, force adjustable gas spring, dampers, safety shroud gas spring, etc.
They are used in aio industries and applications, provide safety support for lifting, lowering, positioning and counterbalancing.
Although gas springs come in varieties, the overall structure is similar, c of cylinder(filled wi pressurized nitrgn), rod, piston, end fitting, with differences in interior design, material selection, appearance, etc.
tandard compression gas spring is the most popular gas spring with fixed force. The cylinder is filled with pressurized nitrogen which generates extended forces. It is self-contained, Maintenance-free, and superior reliability idely used in various industries to support lifting, counterbalancing, and damping of applications.
Below are some applications JP ha rich experiences by working with worldwide customers.
The lockable gas spring differs from the compressed gas spring in that it can be locked at any position along the stroke, with a pin at the rod end hen the pin is pressed it acts like a compressed gas spring nd when the pin is released it locked on the stroke.
Locking gas spring ca be flexible or rigid for flexible type the rod may slightly “flex” when given heavy compression load. One example is the seat height adjuster(equipped with flexible gas spring) where the flexing ies a comfortable “bouncy” feel. These springs must be installed in a rod-down orientation to esure the piston unit is dip in the oil.
For rigid type, no flex when rod is being pressed. Examples are the operating tables or wheelchair recline mechanism in these applications no movement is tolerated in its locked position. These springs also must be installed in a rod-down direction.
In a word, flexible gas spring have “good” rigidity in compression, while rigid type have full rigidity.
Some applications JP ha worked with worldwide customers.
316L Stainless Steel gas spring ha the highest grade anti-corrosion charcteristic, ideal to use in harsh environment applications such as marine, chemical, medical, and food industrs.
Compression, locking, and tension gas springs can made of 316L stainless steel if required.
Also called pulling gas spring, which operate in the direction opposite of compression gas spring. ome applications have limited space to mount a traditional compression gas spring, so tension type is a good alternative.
Some application examples:
“Force Adjustable” means that the volume and pressure of gas in the gas strut can be reduced via a valve to achieve the exact force suitable for your application.
It is always charged to the maximum force, then lowered to the desired force by users. This type of gas spring is very convnient and costsaving during prototype developments where the exact force is unknown, rather than try vario samples with different forces.
By far, there is no feasible way to increase the force on a gas strut.
This type of gas spring also made into compression type, tension type, or 316L stainless steel.
Gas damper is a motion control component with hydauic oil inside it can provide damping effect in compression or extension directions or both. This type of gas spring popularly used in lids, doors, covers, or any other object needed to move at a desired or controlled speed when givn a external force.
Some applications of gas dampers are:
This type of gas sring has a additional safety locking shroud fitted on the rod side he shroud can prevent the spring from compressing th this mchanism can avoid potential injury when overload misuse or failure of gas spring occurs.
It is deal for the applications where the added safety feature is required, such as:
