Lift supports are gas-charged cylinders that provide mechanical assistance for lifting and holding heavy panels, hoods, and hatches in open positions.

Gas struts are hydraulic devices using compressed nitrogen to provide controlled force for lifting and holding panels. Learn specifications, applications, and selection criteria.

Stainless steel springs provide essential corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments, but selecting the correct alloy grade is critical for performance.

Industrial springs are mechanical or gas-charged components engineered to provide controlled force or motion in machinery, enclosure systems, and assembly lines.

Locking gas springs provide rigid support at any stroke position through mechanical locking mechanisms. This guide covers selection criteria, failure modes, and sourcing for B2B applications.

Tension springs are helical coils designed to resist a pulling force, providing a return mechanism or counterbalance in mechanical assemblies.

Selecting the correct gas spring requires precise force calculation, stroke measurement, and consideration of environmental operating temperatures.

Gas spring force is calculated using F = (W × D) / (2 × d), where W is lid weight, D is hinge-to-CG distance, and d is hinge-to-spring distance. Accurate inputs prevent undersizing or oversizing.

A gas spring damper is an internal mechanism that uses hydraulic oil to regulate the speed of the spring as it reaches the end of its extension travel.
