Gas springs are essential in nowadays’ society. They form a convenience in order to lift, open or close applications such as trunks, trailers, hatches, lids, cabinets and doors. Without them it would be impossible to lift heavy objects or to load cargo. Do you want to know which gas spring you need? Use our online simulation tools to configure or calculate the right gas spring. Even if you are looking for a replacement for your current gas spring, we have a handy online tool for you. Read all about our simulation tools and try them out yourself!
Gas springs
Gas springs, also known as gas struts or gas lifters, are mechanical devices that use compressed gas to provide controlled and smooth movement in various applications. These springs consist of a cylinder filled with pressurized gas, typically nitrogen, and a piston rod connected to a piston. The compression of the gas within the cylinder creates a force that assists in lifting or lowering objects with precision and ease. Gas springs find widespread use in industries such as automotive, furniture, aerospace, and medical equipment, where their reliable and adjustable nature is essential for tasks ranging from opening and closing doors to supporting adjustable seats and hatches. The ability to control the force and speed of movement makes gas springs versatile components, contributing to enhanced safety, convenience, and efficiency in numerous mechanical systems.
Gas spring simulation tools
At gasspringshop you can easily simulate your own gas springs. If you are interested in a new gas spring or if you want to replace your old, damaged or broken gas spring, you can use one of our online tools. These tools are especially designed for you to use as a simulator.
Configurator
If you already know what kind of gas spring you need for your application, you can use our configurator. With this tool, you can easily configure your own gas spring. You fill in all the necessary information such as the material of the gas spring, the rod diameter, the cylinder diameter and the length of the stroke. You can also select different mounting parts. The configurator will match the gas spring that meets your requirements and show it in the simulation. Select the correct force and the number of springs you want to order.
Calculator
Our calculator helps you to determine which gas spring you need for your application. You fill in detailed information on the application into the system. Those information is based on the dimensions, thickness, material and weight of the application. You determine its pivot point and choose how many gas springs you need. The simulation will show you what your gas spring looks like.
Replacement function
If you want to replace your broken or damaged gas spring. You can easily do so via our replacement tool. We can provide you with a replacement for gas springs of Airax Rayflex, AL-KO, Lesjöfors, Stabilus Lift-O-Mat and Suspa Liftline gas springs. By entering the brand, product number, diameter of the rod, the length of the stroke, the amount of force and optional mounting parts. The tool will automatically find a correct replacement for your current gas spring and show it in the simulation.
