Gas struts, also known as gas springs or gas props, are precision-engineered mechanical devices that utilize compressed nitrogen gas contained within a sealed cylinder to generate a controlled and consistent lifting force. A typical unit consists of a precision-ground piston rod, a cylinder tube, and a specially designed seal that maintains internal pressure. The rod is attached to a piston within the cylinder, which contains precisely calibrated orifices that allow the gas to flow between chambers at a controlled rate, thereby providing a smooth, dampened motion.
Gas struts design enables them to perform two key functions: firstly, to effortlessly counterbalance the weight of heavy objects like hatchbacks, trunk lids, machinery hoods, or furniture doors, making them easy to lift with minimal user effort. Secondly, they provide controlled support throughout the entire range of motion, safely holding the object in any desired position and preventing it from slamming shut or dropping unexpectedly. Renowned for their reliability and quiet operation, gas struts are critical components in a vast array of applications, from the automotive and aerospace industries to furniture manufacturing and industrial machinery.
