What are the applications of supporting gas springs

Gas spring is an accessory that can function as support, buffer, braking, height adjustment, and angle adjustment. At present, the product has been widely used in medical equipment, automobiles, furniture, textile equipment, processing industries, and other fields. According to different characteristics and application fields, gas springs are also called support rods, angle adjusters, gas pressure rods, dampers, etc. The basic principle of gas springs is to press inert gas and oil, or oil-air mixture into a closed cavity. . According to the structure and function of the gas spring, there are mainly free gas springs, self-locking gas springs, random stop gas springs, traction gas springs, and dampers.
According to its characteristics and application fields, gas springs are also called support rods, gas supports, angle adjusters, gas pressure rods, dampers, etc. According to the structure and function of the gas spring, there are several types of gas springs, such as free-type gas springs, self-locking gas springs, traction gas springs, random stop gas springs, swivel chair gas springs, gas pressure rods, and dampers. At present, the product is widely used in automobiles, aviation, medical equipment, furniture, machinery manufacturing, and other fields.
1. Free-type gas spring (support rod) is the widely used gas spring. It mainly plays a supporting role, with only the shortest and longest positions, and cannot stop by itself during the stroke. It is the widely used in automobile, textile machinery, printing equipment, office equipment, construction machinery, and other industries. 2. Self-locking gas springs (recliners, air pressure rods) are widely used in medical equipment, seats, and other products. This kind of gas spring can be stopped at any position in the stroke with the help of some release mechanisms and has a large locking force (can reach more than 5000N) after stopping.
3. Free stop gas spring (friction gas spring) is mainly used in kitchen furniture, medical equipment, and other fields. Its characteristics are intermediate between free-type gas springs and self-locking gas springs: it does not require any external structure and can be stopped at any position in the stroke, but there is no additional locking force.
