● The cylinder is the outer casing that contains the internal components. It houses the gas, piston, and sealing mechanism.
● The piston is located inside the cylinder and is connected to the rod. It moves up and down within the cylinder when the spring is compressed or extended, controlling the flow of gas.
● The gas (often nitrogen) is pressurized inside the cylinder, creating force. The pressure can be adjusted depending on the required force rating (200N in this case).
Gas springs are designed to handle various environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes or exposure to moisture, so the material and sealing need to be chosen accordingly.
Force range | A 200N gas spring provides a force of 200 Newtons. The force determines how heavy a load the gas spring can support or assist with. |
Material | Cylinder body: steel (galvanized or sprayed) or stainless steel (corrosion resistant).Piston rod: hard chrome plated steel or stainless steel. |
Sealing material: high-quality fluororubber or polyurethane, effectively preventing dust and dirt from entering the gas spring, ensuring sealing and long-term use. | |
Operating Conditions | Applicable temperature range:Regular models: -20℃~+80℃; special models can withstand -40℃~+120℃. |
Installation
Distinguish between compression type (support force direction is consistent with installation direction) and tension type (reverse support)
Safety Features
Avoid using the machine at full stroke limit, and keep 10%~20% stroke margin to extend life. If frequent high-speed movement is required (such as a robotic arm), a high-response speed model should be selected.
Certification
Industrial applications require compliance with ISO 9001 or industry-specific standards (e.g. TS 16949 for the automotive industry)
● RoHS: Complies with environmental safety requirements, will not release harmful gases during long-term use, and protects the air quality in the car
● SGS: Independent product testing and verification, precise and controllable opening and closing force, easy and smooth operation
Customization options
● Customized options: Customized installation interface, providing a variety of standard joint options (ball head/fork head/eye head) Supports customized special joints, perfectly matching the original installation position
● Customized opening force, accurately calculate the required force according to the weight and size of the door panel, ensuring easy opening with one hand while maintaining a stable opening state
● Customized functional characteristics, optional anti-smashing rebound buffer function, customized safety design with limit protection
● Customized surface treatment and customized colors to perfectly match the car body
Furniture Industry
Height-adjustable Desks: A 200N gas spring could be used in sit-stand desks to adjust the height smoothly.
Automotive
Hood or Trunk Lifts: Gas springs are often used in automotive hoods and trunks to assist with lifting and closing. A 200N gas spring would provide enough force to support the weight of the hood or trunk lid.
