Household, school or workplace doors usually incorporate some sort of traction or pull-type gas spring, to help them open easily under pressure but return quickly to a closed position when not in use. Conversely, cabinet doors and access hatches often require the exact opposite function, allowing considerable weight to be lifted easily, and remain fully open until manually pulled shut again.
As with all such fixtures, the correct type of door gas struts to choose will depend entirely on what job you want them to do once mounted. Gaining a clear idea of the desired action and activation force is always the best place to start when figuring out which gas spring product will best suit your needs.
Some cars will incorporate multiple sets of gas springs into the design of their various hoods, panels and compartments, but by far the most common usage is in boot-lifting mechanisms. In particular, nearly all hatchbacks and estate cars will have gas struts affixed to the rear assembly, helping to lift, support and lower their heavy tailgates smoothly and effortlessly.
In fact, the action on most car-fitted gas springs is subtle enough that many drivers don’t realize they’re actually helping to raise the tailgate, as opposed to just holding it in place once it’s up. It’s easy to tell how much heavy lifting these fixtures do once they start to wear and degrade, which can feel remarkably heavy if their gas struts are overdue for replacement.
The gas springs commonly used for office chairs are generally arranged in more of a ‘damping’ configuration, where greater resistance is met as the chair is lowered, and less as it’s raised. This cushions the downward movement of the seat when you’re in it, but allows it to spring back to its starting position with no manual force when empty.
Office chair gas struts are nearly always lockable one way or another, although it’s worth noting that the locking mechanism is sometimes entirely separate from the spring itself. In these cases, rather than being a built-in feature of the strut, the lockable component functions more like a quick-release clamp positioned around the sliding central column.
Unlike other types of springs, gas springs require little or no maintenance. They still consist of multiple parts. Gas springs have a piston, seals and attachments. However, these parts are enclosed in a cylinder, so maintaining gas springs is a breeze. You don’t have to worry about cleaning the parts, nor do you have to worry about oiling or lubricating them. With their self-enclosed design, gas springs are easy to maintain.
Gas springs are long-lasting. They typically last longer than other types of springs. Other types of springs use a purely mechanical method of operation. They consist of a coiled piece of metal, which is used to create extension springs or compression springs. Over time, traditional springs can wear down while losing their ability to store energy. Gas springs feature a gas-filled cylinder that protects them from premature wear and tear.
While not available in gas springs, many of them can be locked in place. There are non-locking gas springs, and there are locking gas springs. Locking gas springs can be “locked” in place. Non-locking gas springs, on the other hand, don’t offer this option. Nonetheless, you can choose either locking or non-locking gas springs. Gas springs are available in both types, which is another reason to consider choosing them over traditional springs.
Another benefit of gas springs is ergonomics. They are more ergonomic than traditional springs. They produce a smooth action when exposed to a compressive force. The piston of a gas spring will simply retract into the cylinder. With this smooth action, gas springs are ergonomic. You can even find them used with certain types of furniture, including office chairs, because of their ergonomic design.
