Increasing Gas Spring Force
Currently there is no recommended method to increase the force on a gas spring.
On first orders and prototypes, we always recommend that you purchase a gas spring which has more force than necessary then adjust it down to suit your application.
Reducing Gas Spring Force
Gas springs fitted with release valves can be easily adjusted with our Gas Release Tools.
Prior to releasing gas from a gas spring, ensure that the end fitting (e.g. eye or ball joint) is removed and the rod is facing down.
The gas release procedure is demonstrated in the video below.
