Gas springs, sometimes called gas shocks/gas shock absorbers, gas pistons, or gas struts, are springs that pneumatically store energy. They are called gas springs because they receive operating pressure from highly pressurized (compressed) gas. They store this pressure as potential energy, and free it when the piston that seals the energy lifts. Read More…
Gas Spring ManufacturersGas springs, sometimes called gas shocks/gas shock absorbers, gas pistons, or gas struts, are springs that pneumatically store energy. They are called gas springs because they receive operating pressure from highly pressurized (compressed) gas. They store this pressure as potential energy, and free it when the piston that seals the energy lifts.
A gas spring is a hydro-pneumatic element that stores potential energy by compressing gas contained inside an enclosed cylinder sealed by a sliding piston. A gas spring does not rely on elastic deformation...
Hinges
A hinge is a machine element that connects two bodies allowing angular movement about a fixed axis of rotation, all the while preventing translations and rotations on the remaining two axes. A hinge can be considered as a journal bearing with only one degree of freedom where a shaft is rotating in a hole...
Latches
Latches are mechanical components that allow the temporary joining of parts that are moving relative to each other. They are actuated to release the coupling and allow the two parts to separate. Latches are mostly seen on doors and enclosure...
Vibration Absorbers
A vibration absorber is a single degree of freedom (DOF) spring-mass system that eliminates or reduces the vibration of a harmonically excited system such as the rotation of engines, motors, generators, belts, etc...
Door Latches
A door latch is a mechanical fastener that connects two surfaces or objects and provides a secure, safe, and strong connection. The latch portion of the mechanism is mounted on a flat surface such that when it meets a second...
Locks
A lock is a mechanism designed to connect an opening to its frame using a latch, solid cylinder, bolt, or some other form of a solid metal plunger that extends into the strike. They are metal devices that prevent entry or access for privacy, security, or...
