For applications requiring a cost efficient, self-contained source of velocity controlled load support device, damped gas springs are the optimum solution. Integrating a gas spring and a damper in a single unit, damped gas springs can be tailored to match both the load and motion control requirements of your application.
Damped gas springs are commonly used on door panels to assist the user opening the door and providing a “cushion” effect at the end of its travel.
Dampers ensure a smooth, low-noise operation, while they improve the life of hinges and mounts by eliminating impact loading.
Common applications of damped gas springs include:
- Work truck storage compartments
- Tool boxes
- Cargo doors
- Truck bed covers
- Lift gates
- Hoods
- Panel doors
