Annual Gas Loss in Gas Springs: What You Need to Know

Gas springs lose approximately 3% of their pressure each year. This means that if a gas spring remains in storage for months before being sold, by the time it reaches you, it may no longer deliver the force you paid for. In addition, the quality of the internal seal—responsible for preventing gas leaks—can deteriorate over time, particularly in products sourced from third-party suppliers where quality control is not always as rigorous.

Whether you're using gas springs for ottoman beds, gas struts for furniture, industrial gas springs, or gas springs for lifting doors, the condition of the cylinder and the associated opening and locking mechanisms is critical. A loss of gas not only reduces lifting performance and efficiency but can also become a safety risk.

These variations can affect both industrial applications and residential projects.

For example, if you purchase an 800 Newton gas spring that was manufactured a year ago, it may actually provide only around 776 N of force by the time you receive it. This reduced force may be insufficient for your application and can also shorten the product's overall service life.

Fully customized gas springs

At GasspringsEU, we know that gas springs operate using internal gas pressure and are essential components in a wide range of applications, from home furniture to industrial equipment. In our online store, you'll find gas springs for lifting doors, ottoman bed gas springs, car boot gas struts, and many other applications. If you'd like to learn more about how gas springs work, we explain everything in the following article.

Every customer is different, which is why every gas spring should be too. We recharge gas springs with precision and offer interchangeable threaded end fittings that can be adapted to the installation you require.

This allows every unit to be custom-made according to your exact requirements:

  • Extended or compressed length
  • End fittings, threaded terminals, and application-specific accessories
  • Pressure precisely calibrated to the exact Newton force your project requires through accurate engineering calculations

Some examples of the configurations we regularly manufacture include:

  • Ottoman bed gas springs: 450 mm length with 550 N of force
  • Car boot gas struts: 600 mm length with 420 N of force
  • Food truck window gas springs: 750 mm length with 1600 N of force

The result is a custom-made gas spring, manufactured to your exact specifications, with no deviations from the force and performance your application requires.
