Gas spring comes more and more into our vision as vending carts become more popular. While we have some basic knowledge about spring, we want to know the difference between traditional and gas spring. What is the advantage of traditional and gas spring?

Status of traditional spring

We generally use mechanical stretch technology to process traditional spring . and design elastic force by controlling different extension length and diameters. The traditional springs are most made of alloys. That is, various types of metals are smelted together so you may hardly tell the properties of those metals.

Our gas spring can be used  as industrial accessories for supporting, buffering, height adjustment and angle adjustment. It consists of the these parts: gas cylinder, piston rod, piston, sealing guide sleeve, filler (inert gas or oil-air mixture). Besides, it may have control elements(if needed) inside and outside cylinder, and joints or end fittings.

The traditional springs have to increase its elasticity as the higher need in frequency and life cycle. Its elastic performance reduced greatly so it cannot afford the demand in later period .

Outstanding features of gas springs

In terms of technology, We fill the gas in sealing environment. At its outlet section we  also install a support rod . The rods include alloy or stainless steel, which depends on the application environment. Moreover it requires your own analysis and selection.

Peir gas spring can be applied to various furniture, vehicles, and other mechanical structures. That not only owes to its wide selection of size and force,  but also to its sustainable good performance.

In terms of elastic performance, gas spring relies on compressed gas to obtain elasticity, so the wear is almost zero. The gas spring works almost ten times longer than  traditional springs in life cycle. However, the actual cost is almost the same.  Customers cares it most. So, Gas spring outplays the traditional spring with remarkable improved performance at little raise on the cost.

Gas spring v.s. Traditional spring

In addition to above two points, gas springs have the incomparable advantages over  traditional springs. Such as the use environment. We generally cannot place traditional springs on the desktop, only on the mechanical structure. But gas spring can be exposed to the appearance of the product and does not affect it.

Now, Gas spring have gradually replaced the position of traditional spring because of its influence and application in many fields .
