Gas Spring Technical Info Introduction

To properly use gas springs in even the simplest application, users should understand how they work and how a gas spring can be modified to meet specific operating requirements. All of the topics covered in this section represent a gas spring feature or characteristic that can be modified to enhance gas spring performance. These sections apply equally to compression gas springs, tension or traction gas springs and locking and stainless steel gas springs.

Note:
Gas springs may also be refered to as gas struts, gas props, gas shocks, gas lifts, or gas dampers depending on the industry and application.
