Gas Traction Springs

Gas traction springs can be found in many applications to help lifting, balancing or lowering objects without using external air or hydraulic equipment.

A gas spring consists of multiple seals, rod, piston and a cylinder filled with Nitrogen and a small amount of oil for lubrication. In many ways they work the same as a compression springs with the only difference that the rod is retracted in its start force ( F1) position.

Gemini Gas Springs™ are maintenance free and ready for us and can be mounted in any direction.

Lifetime expectation of a traction spring depends on stroke length, force and number of cycles. On average the expected lifetime will be approx. 2,000 meter/6,561 ft.
