Load Support Gas Springs

Ask A Question

Due to their low stiffness characteristics and compact, self-contained (no wiring or hydraulic lines required) design, gas springs are increasingly used in applications involving the support or counterbalancing of moving structures such as doors, window panels and seats. Gas springs offer a cost efficient and reliable alternative to complex electro-mechanical/electro-hydraulic solutions.

Load Support Gas Spring Applications

Marine hatches and access panels are common applications of IGS gas spring products, utilized to support or counterbalance their weight and hold them OPEN.

Proper positioning of the springs also allows the hatches to close smoothly and stay down without a latch. 316L Stainless steel construction proves a perfect choice for any tough environment.

Leg rests, arm rests, seat-back recline all rely on gas springs to assist in positioning and counterbalancing in aerospace seating. Lightweight aluminium gas springs can reduce mass by up to 40% while still maintaining the high forces needed in compact applications.

Medical equipment such as tables, swing-arms and video monitors, utilize gas springs to help position patients and assist healthcare professionals.
