Gas Springs
Gas springs are essential components in various industrial and commercial applications, providing controlled motion, force assistance, and dampening. At OneMonroe, we offer a diverse selection of high-quality gas springs designed to meet the needs of engineers, manufacturers, and maintenance professionals. Whether you require standard, adjustable, or locking gas springs, our products ensure durability, precision, and reliability across numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial equipment.
Understanding the key attributes of gas springs is crucial for selecting the right solution for your application. Factors such as force output, stroke length, damping characteristics, and mounting configurations play a significant role in performance and longevity. OneMonroe provides detailed specifications and expert guidance to help you navigate these attributes, ensuring optimal functionality and efficiency. Explore our comprehensive range of gas springs to find the perfect fit for your specific requirements.
Gas Springs
- Cycle Life: The expected number of cycles (compressions and extensions) a gas spring can undergo before its performance significantly degrades.
- Cylinder Diameter: The diameter of the gas spring's cylinder, affecting the force output and the overall size of the gas spring.
- Damping Characteristics: Some gas springs have a damping feature, slowing down the motion at the end of the stroke to prevent sudden stops and improve smoothness.
- End Fittings: The type of connectors or fittings on both ends of the gas spring, such as ball sockets, clevises, or eyelets, which influence how the spring attaches to equipment or fixtures.
- Extended Length: The total length of the gas spring when it is fully extended. It includes both the stroke length and the cylinder length.
- Force (Pressure) Rating: Indicates the force exerted by the gas spring, usually measured in Newtons (N) or pounds force (lbf). This force can vary depending on the application and gas spring type.
- Gas Type: Typically, gas springs are filled with nitrogen gas. The type of gas and its pressure impact the spring’s force and performance.
- Material and Coating: Materials used for the cylinder and piston rod (e.g., stainless steel for corrosion resistance), and any special coatings that enhance durability in specific environments.
- Rod Diameter: The diameter of the piston rod. A thicker rod typically means greater strength and durability, especially for applications with high loads.
- Stroke Length: The distance the piston rod travels from its fully retracted position to its fully extended position. This is an essential factor for determining the range of motion needed for specific applications.
- Temperature Range: The operating temperature range within which the gas spring can function reliably. Temperature affects the pressure inside the spring and may impact performance.
