4014557: SPRING:GAS;W/O CAB

**Product Description: Gas Springs** ### General Characteristics - **Construction**: Gas springs are made of a pressure tube, piston rod, and piston unit, equipped with end fittings for easy connection to other components. - **Operating Principle**: Filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas and oil, they generate the necessary force for extension and compression, with a metering orifice to control movement velocity. - **Mounting**: Can be mounted in any position, though mounting with the piston rod downwards is recommended for optimal damping. - **Materials**: Typically constructed from steel for the body and piston rod, with zinc-plated steel used for end fittings. - **Temperature Range**: Operate effectively between -4°F to 176°F (-20°C to 80°C), with options for special seals to extend this range. ### Applications - **Furniture**: Used in lifting and lowering mechanisms for chairs, beds, and tables. - **Industrial Equipment**: Implemented in machinery for heavy load lifting and support. - **Automotive**: Found in vehicle hoods, trunks, and doors for enhanced functionality. - **Medical Equipment**: Utilized in hospital beds and medical chairs for ease of use. ### Features - **Force Adjustment**: Some models offer adjustable force settings to meet specific application needs. - **Damping**: Many have damping features to control speed during extension and compression, ensuring smoother operation. - **Positioning**: Suitable for both fixed and variable positioning based on requirements.
