Types of Industrial Gas Springs
Gas Spring
Uses oil to dampen stroke at the end of movement. Standard and custom-designed options available. Commonly called compression gas spring.
Stainless Steel Gas Spring
Ideal for corrosive environments. Can be produced in hydraulic, pin-locking and traction type designs. Standard and custom options available.
Traction Gas Spring
Works in pulling (tension) direction. Standard and custom-designed options available.
Lockable Gas Spring
Uses a special piston to lock the spring in any position along the stroke. Standard and custom-designed options available.
NitroSprings
Using compressed nitrogen and advanced nitro spring technology delivering forces up to
300,000N with stroke lengths ranging from 7mm to 2,000m. Compliant with PED 68/2014/EU.
Dynamic Gas Spring
Speed and damping controlled by a slot in the cylinder wall. Standard and custom-designed options available.
Applications of Industrial Gas Springs
Our gas springs (or gas struts) have a wide range of applications in diverse industries, from automotive to agriculture, medical to machines.
Hydraulic gas springs are the most common type, using oil to control extension speed and stroke damping. They ensure reliable motion and are ideal for doors, hatches, ventilation systems, and furniture.
Stainless steel springs are ideal for corrosive environments. They’re commonly used in boat hatches, food processing machinery, and medical lab equipment.
Traction gas springs operate in tension, ideal for applications such as folding access ramps, retractable staircases, and overhead hatches. They offer reliable movement when precise tension control is needed.
Our lockable gas springs provide secure position locking in adjustable applications like hospital beds, chairs, backrests, and tables. They ensure safe, reliable operations.
Precision performance in high-demand and heavy duty applications, our nitrogen gas springs are used for lift, counterbalance, tensioning, clamping, damping, suspension, anti-vibration, safety overload devices and ejection applications.
Our dynamic gas springs are ideal for closing mechanisms of car boots, car bonnets, gates, and doors. They ensure smooth operation with controlled extension speed and damping.

Choosing the right Industrial Gas Spring
To ensure reliable performance in your application, there are some technical factors to consider when choosing a gas spring:
Force requirements
Accurately calculating force requirements ensures gas springs deliver the right amount of control and movement.
Stroke length
The stroke length should match the travel distance needed for smooth and efficient operation.
Mounting orientation
Proper mounting orientation helps maintain consistent performance and extends the gas spring’s lifespan.
Environmental conditions
Considering temperature and potential corrosion ensures gas springs remain durable and perform well in harsh environments.
