Gas springs (gas struts or gas shocks) are mechanical devices that use compressed gas to generate a force and facilitate motion. They are commonly used in applications requiring smooth and controlled support, lifting, damping, or lowering action, such as in office chairs, automotive hoods, and hospital beds.
advantages
Gas springs can provide a smooth and controlled motion
requiring no lubrication or adjustment
Compact and designed to fit into small spaces, Ideal for limited space applications
JP gas springs are designed to withstand high loads and harsh environments with a service life of up to 100,000 cycles
This Video Explains How Gas Spring Works:
Gas springs are piston-cylinder devices that use pressurized nitrogen to produce a force. But how the force generated and how big i i?
As you can see from the sectional view of a gas spring below, Area A is always a bit smller than Area B, which is caused by the rod area.The surface area difference on both sides of the piston generates the force. So, theoretically the force of a gas spring can be calculated by this simple formula:
F=P*(B-A)
P means the gas pressure inside.
B minus A means the area difference.
When gas spring compresses or extend, gas can move through a hole(or a valve) from one side to another, maintaining pressure on both sides. Also the net compression or extension force will near-constant.
Gas springs are generally considered to have near-constant force throughout the stroke, with aK-factorindicat the slight increase.
This is related to the weight of the item to lift, lower, or support. High forces require bigger sizes of gas springs.
The distance the gas spring will need to travel in your application.
The operating temperature and corrosion resistance you want to have. etc.
How gas spring fixs into your application.
Choose a reputable manufacturer that produces high-quality, durable gas springs that will withstand the rigors of the application.
JP manufacturers highquality gas springs of a wide range of forces and dimensions.Explore more aboutthe gas spring size chart for both compression and lockable gas spring.
Regarding the purpose and function, gas springs can be roughly divided into two types: compression gas springs and locking gas springs. Let’s take a look at different gas springs and their applications to see which type of gas spring is suitable for your product.
Compression gas springs are used in a variety of applications where objects need to be lifted, lowered, or supported effortlessly without using great force. They are widely utilized to open and hold items of furniture, automotive applications, medical, sports, and more.
Locking gas struts make it possible to lock in any stroke position along their range, whether elastically or rigidly. Our locking gas springs offer high performance when it comes to smoothness, and they conveniently lock objects in any location.
They are seen in various applications such as hospital beds, hospital furniture, passenger seats, emergency trolleys, and more.
