The gas spring support rod is an easily adjustable lifting spring, which can be categorized into automatically locking air springs (such as the rising support for car seats) and automatically locking air springs for lifting supports (such as car trunk or wardrobe door supports). The structure of the gas spring support rod primarily consists of a sleeve, piston, and rod, with high-pressure air or nitrogen added inside the sleeve. The piston ends have unequal areas, creating a pressure difference that drives the piston and rod movement, supporting people or heavy objects.
Air springs, known by various names such as support rods, air supports, regulators, pressure rods, and dampers, are categorized based on their characteristics and application fields. According to the structure and function of air springs, they include items like air springs, self-locking air springs, traction air springs, adjustable stop springs, rotating chair air springs, pressure rods, and dampers. This product has a wide range of applications in industries such as automotive, aviation, medical equipment, furniture, and mechanical manufacturing.
Firstly, the air spring (strut) (lift gas spring) is a widely used type of air spring. It primarily serves a supporting function, having only two positions: the shortest and the longest, and it cannot stop automatically during movement. It is extensively used in industries such as automotive, textile machinery, printing equipment, office equipment, and construction machinery. The design of the air spring, with its lightweight nature, smooth operation, ease of use, and competitive pricing, has gained widespread popularity in fields such as automotive, construction machinery, printing presses, and textile equipment. It is also suitable for high-altitude environments, acidic and alkaline conditions, etc.
Self-locking gas springs (angle adjusters, controllable gas springs) are suitable for medical equipment. These gas springs can be stopped at any point during their travel using certain release mechanisms, and after stopping, they exert a significant locking force (over 10,000N).
Three, Leisure static springs (friction air springs, balanced air springs) are basically applicable to kitchen furniture, medical equipment, etc. They possess characteristics between air springs and self-locking air springs. That is to say, they can stop at any desired position without external structure, but lack additional locking force. They generally achieve the effect through a controller (handle or cable). Stretching the plunger can also accomplish this. If the controller is used to adjust to an ideal position, the valve will close independently, and the plunger will lock in the desired position. Locking can be implemented when it locks. However, if the locking force is exceeded, the locking function will no longer be effective.
Fourth, the gas spring (pneumatic rod) for swivel chairs is primarily used to adjust and locate the seat, with the feature of being controllable and in high demand.
5. Traction Gas Springs (GAS TRACTION SPRINGS) are a specialized type of gas spring characterized by their longest positioning state. In other words, after being subjected to external force, they move from the longest positioning to the shortest positioning. The state of the traction gas spring, when pulled from the shortest positioning to the shortest positioning, involves moving from the shortest positioning to the shortest positioning. Traction air springs also have corresponding features such as swim and self-locking types.
