Gas springs

We offer 3 types of gas springs: gas pressure springs, gas dampers and gas pulling springs.

All of these are gas-filled mechanical devices that use compressed nitrogen (and sometimes a bit of oil) to generate a force or damping effect. They all work on the same basic principle: a sealed cylinder with a piston rod and pressurized gas inside. But their behavior and purpose differ depending on their design and intended use.

1. Gas Pressure Springs (Gas Struts / Lift Supports). They generate an outward (pushing) force that extends the piston rod automatically.
2. Gas Dampers (Hydraulic Dampers / Gas Motion Dampers). They control the motion speed — not to lift or push, but to slow down movement.
3. Gas Pulling Springs (Tension Gas Springs). They do the opposite of gas pressure springs — they pull the rod inward.

Type	Motion	Purpose	Common Applications
Gas pressure spring	Pushes outward	Lifts or supports weight	Car boot lids, office chairs, machinery covers
Gas damper	Resists motion	Slows or controls movement	Soft-close lids, drawers, furniture, machinery
Gas pulling spring	Pulls inward	Provides retracting force	Compact flaps, seating systems, special mechanisms
