5 gas spring solutions

Gas springs (gas pressure springs) are usually used to provide support and shock absorption functions, and are widely used in automobiles, mechanical equipment, furniture, medical equipment and other fields. If you encounter problems related to gas springs, here are some common solutions:

1. Insufficient support or failure
- Cause: It may be that the gas inside the gas spring is leaking, the air tightness is damaged, or the gas spring has reached the end of its service life.
- Solution:
- Check the air tightness of the gas spring to determine if there is any leakage. If there is a leak, the gas spring needs to be replaced.
- Choose a gas spring that is more suitable for the application and ensure that its rated support meets the requirements.
- Regularly maintain and inspect the gas spring to prevent early failure.

2. Improper installation of the gas spring
- Cause: The installation angle or position is incorrect, causing the gas spring to fail to work properly.
- Solution:
- Install the gas spring correctly according to the product manual to ensure the installation angle and position are accurate.
- Ensure that the fulcrum and hinge are in the correct position to ensure the balance and stability of the gas spring during movement.

3. Excessive wear of gas springs
- Cause: Long-term high-frequency use or working in harsh environments causes excessive wear of gas springs.
- Solution:
- Replace worn gas springs and choose gas springs with wear-resistant performance.
- When working in harsh environments, consider using dust covers or reinforced gas springs.

4. Inappropriate working temperature
- Cause: When a gas spring works at extreme temperatures, the pressure of its internal gas will change, affecting performance.
- Solution:
- Choose a gas spring with a wider temperature range to ensure that it can work properly at extreme temperatures.
- When used in extreme temperature environments, consider using gas springs treated with special materials and processes.

5. Failure of gas spring damping
- Cause: Damage to the damping structure or leakage of damping oil causes failure of the damping function.
- Solution:
- Check the damping structure of the gas spring to determine whether it needs repair or replacement.
- Perform regular maintenance and check the sealing of the gas spring to prevent leakage of damping oil.
