Piston Rods for Gas Spring Manufacturers
Gas springs contain both pressurized gas and liquid and are used as lifting mechanisms to support and manoeuvre heavy items and other external forces. The gas spring relies on the compressed gas to store and release energy as smoothly as possible, providing a cushioned movement. The structure can be broken up into three parts: the rod, the piston, and the housing tube. The rod is where force will be applied to the spring consequently pushing the piston forward. Just like a plunger on a syringe, the piston will then push gas and compress it as the pressure is employed. By having holes in the piston, the gas can flow either side of it, therefore controlling the energy. The housing tube is where the piston is pushed into, along with where the compressed gas is stored.
