The Difference Between Traditional Spring And Gas Spring

Springs are one of the most common items that are used in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, as well as in everyday objects; they help make our lives a whole lot easier and they are incredibly easy to manufacture and use.Do you know the differences between traditional spring and gas spring?

Status of traditional spring

We generally use mechanical stretch technology to process traditional spring . and design elastic force by controlling different extension length and diameters. The traditional springs are most made of alloys. That is, various types of metals are smelted together so you may hardly tell the properties of those metals.

Our gas spring can be used  as industrial accessories for supporting, buffering, height adjustment and angle adjustment. It consists of the these parts: gas cylinder, piston rod, piston, sealing guide sleeve, filler (inert gas or oil-air mixture). Besides, it may have control elements(if needed) inside and outside cylinder, and joints or end fittings.

The traditional springs have to increase its elasticity as the higher need in frequency and life cycle. Its elastic performance reduced greatly so it cannot afford the demand in later period.

Features of gas spring

• Gas springs provide full load on contact. There is no need to pre-load.
• Gas springs provide greater tonnage per diameter than coil springs; therefore one gas spring can replace several coil springs.
• Gas spring output force can be easily adjusted. At a given deflection, coil springs cannot be adjusted. To increase or decrease force, an alternative duty group or spring size must be substituted.

Gas spring v.s. Traditional spring

Gas springs have the incomparable advantages over  traditional springs. Such as the use environment. We generally cannot place traditional springs on the desktop, only on the mechanical structure. But gas spring can be exposed to the appearance of the product and does not affect it.

Now, Gas spring have gradually replaced the position of traditional spring because of its influence and application in many fields
