gas spring

A traction gas spring, also known as a tension gas spring, pulls objects open or shut. It stretches under force, stores energy, and returns to its original shape when the force is removed. It's commonly used in doors, lids, and mechanical systems requiring pulling action.

JUTENG Gas Springs supplies a complete range of tension gas springs. JUTENG can also provide custom-built tension springs in various rod, tube, and material configurations. The following matrix outlines the various rod & tube combinations, force characteristics and dimensional parameters available as a custom-built tension spring.

FAQ:

1.Can you compress a gas spring by hand?

No, gas springs are designed to hold pressure, making them impossible to compress by hand without special equipment. They require force to compress, as they are pressurized with gas.

2.How do you compress a spring without a spring compressor?

Without a spring compressor, you can compress a spring using tools like pliers or clamps, but it's unsafe for large or high-tension springs. Always use proper equipment for safety.

3.Do gas springs wear out?

Yes gas springs do wear out over time. Frequent, gas pressure loss, and damage seals reduce performance.

4.Can a gas spring be adjusted?

Some gas springs have adjustable tension/force. However, adjusting them is usually a matter of special tools or replacement, as most of them are sealed and non-serviceable.

5.What is the lifespan of a gas spring?

The lifespan of a gas spring typically ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 cycles, depending on usage and conditions. Factors like temperature and load can affect its longevity.
