How To Choose A Gas Spring?


                                        (diagram 1.)
Gas Spring Extension Force (F1) measured as diagram 3.

Gas Spring force tolerance is +40N/-20N or ±5%~7% and changed by temperature.
e.g.: temperature increases or decreases 10℃, Gas Spring force will increase or decrease 3.5%(diagram 1.)
Extension Force(F1) is measured at 25℃±3℃ with piston rod oriented downward by following simple formular.



              (diagram 2.)
Gas Spring availability elements (diagram 2.)
  • A=Gas Spring stroke Length(mm
  • B=Gas Spring extension length(mm
  • C=Connection type of both end
  • D=The diameter of Gas Spring rod & tub


              diagram 3.)
Gas Spring Extension Force (F1) measured as diagram 3.
  • G=Gross weight of flap (kg)
  • L=Distance from Center of Gravity To Pivot Point (mm)
  • d=Distance from hinge to gas spring rod cente(mm)
  • S=distance from hinge to gas spring assembled center poin(mm)
  • n=Number of Gas Spring applie
  • H=Vertical distance from hinge to flap gravity(mm)

    G=30kg,H=400mm,d=200mm,n=2
