How a gas spring works explained
One gas spring is a cylindrical component in which gas (usually nitrogen) is used under pressure to achieve controlled linear motion. The pressure in the cylinder creates a constant or variable force that makes it easier to open, close, adjust or support a mechanism. Unlike traditional mechanical springs, a gas spring offers an even force curve and smooth operation, making movement feel comfortable and controlled.
Do you want to know exactly what happens in the cylinder and how this mechanism works step by step? Then read our in-depth knowledge article [How does a gas spring work?] for a clear explanation and practical examples.
