What are gas arms?

Gas arms, or gas struts, are used to support or counterbalance moving masses. For example, they are being used for lifting, raising, of lowering heavy valves. Gas arms are amongst others used for trailer hatches, market stalls, folding beds or sunbeds. They facilitate our lives and make it more comfortable. Gas arms should not be mistaken by gas shocks which are used to support moving masses while controlling the system’s motion. A gas arm supports opening and closing an application whereas a gas shock does not return the energy that is has collected.

Applications in various industries

Gas arms find extensive applications across a wide range of industries, including automotive, furniture, aerospace, and medical equipment. They are commonly used for:

  • Vehicle hoods and tailgates: Gas arms provide effortless lifting and support for vehicle hoods and tailgates, enhancing convenience and safety for users.
  • Furniture: Gas springs enable smooth opening and closing of cabinets, lids, and doors in furniture, improving user experience and functionality.
  • Industrial machinery: Gas arms assist in the controlled movement of heavy machinery components, reducing the risk of accidents and optimizing operational efficiency.
  • Medical equipment: Gas springs play a vital role in medical devices such as hospital beds, surgical tables, and rehabilitation equipment, facilitating precise adjustment and positioning.

Advantages of gas arms

Gas arms offer numerous advantages over traditional mechanical springs and hydraulic systems. Here are some key benefits:

Smooth and controlled movement

Gas arms provide a smooth and controlled motion throughout the entire range of movement. This ensures precise positioning and reduces the risk of sudden jolts or jerks, enhancing user safety and comfort.

Adjustable force

One of the notable features of gas arms is their adjustable force capability. By varying the amount of compressed gas or changing the piston size, the force exerted by the gas spring can be tailored to suit specific requirements. This flexibility makes gas arms suitable for a wide range of applications with varying load capacities.

Space-saving design

Gas arms offer a compact and space-saving design compared to traditional mechanical springs and hydraulic cylinders. Their streamlined construction allows for easy integration into existing equipment or structures without occupying excessive space, making them ideal for constrained environments.

Maintenance-free operation

Unlike hydraulic systems that require regular maintenance and fluid replenishment, gas arms operate maintenance-free for extended periods. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs associated with servicing, ensuring uninterrupted productivity in your workspace.
