Stainless steel gas spring

steelfor industrial usefor heavy loads

Manufactured in 316L grade stainless steel, these gas springs have been subjected to more than 1,000 hours of salt spray testing. They are made with a specially‐prepared chrome‐plated rod surface finish for additional hardness. These products are corrosion‐resistant, providing reassurance of durability and an improved lifecycle of each product. Designed to lift heavy weights effortlessly and safely, the Swift and Sure range are found on vehicles, machine guards, access panels, lockers and lids. But there is an almost limitless number of applications this range can be used on. What are the key benefits of stainless steel compression gas struts? Made from high grade 316L stainless steel Enhanced durability and corrosion resistance 1,000 hours salt spray tested 316L stainless steel rod and tube Suitable for use in marine, food, healthcare and pharmaceutical applications Non-magnetic / medically safe options Available with food safe oils UK-designed and manufactured product Fully customisable Fixed and variable force options Maintenance-free Fully self-contained unit Sized to your application Available in carbon steel How do fixed force stainless steel compression gas struts work? If it needs to be lifted, held open or counterbalanced in a specialised environment, this is likely the spring you need. It has the characteristics of a compression spring which, coupled with a small change in force as it extends, provides a controlled rate of movement. At the end of the extension stroke, the extension speed is slowed by an oil damping zone. These features help protect hinges and mounts by applying constant force with a damped end of travel.
