Gas Spring

Gas springs, also known as pneumatic support rods or pneumatic shock absorbers, are a type of spring that differs from traditional mechanical springs. They are typically made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, with a rust-resistant surface treatment (such as electroplating or spraying), making them corrosion-resistant and lightweight.

Traditional mechanical springs rely on elastic deformation, while gas springs utilize compressed gas within a sealed cylinder. They store potential energy through a sliding piston in a pneumatic manner and resist external forces parallel to the piston shaft direction (similar to a bicycle pump without a gas outlet).

Usage precautions: Avoid overloading, extreme environments, perform regular inspections, implement protective measures, and ensure safe operation.

Proper selection (e.g., support force, stroke length) and regular maintenance are key to extending the lifespan of gas springs.
