Stainless steel gas springs provide essential corrosion resistance in marine, pharmaceutical, and high-moisture industrial environments.
Selecting industrial springs requires rigorous attention to material fatigue, cycle ratings, and environmental stress factors common in production environments.
Locking gas springs provide controlled positioning by using an internal valve to stop movement at any point in the stroke. This guide details how to specify them for industrial and medical equipment.
Tension springs provide linear resistance to extension while gas springs offer variable force throughout stroke. Correct specification prevents failure in automotive, furniture and industrial applications.
Gas springs and nitrogen struts are the best mechanical components for most lid and hatch applications. Here is how to select the right force rating, stroke length, and end fitting for your application in 2026.
This guide outlines the critical parameters for specifying industrial hardware, with an emphasis on component compatibility and material resilience in harsh environments.
Dampers are internal components in gas springs that control the rate of extension, preventing structural damage from rapid, uncontrolled opening.
Lift supports are gas-charged springs used to control the movement of hatches, bonnets, and lids in industrial and automotive applications.
Gas struts are pneumatic energy storage devices that provide controlled lifting force, with performance dictated by internal nitrogen pressure and seal integrity.
