Differences between hydraulic and gas shock absorbers: complete guide
Differences between hydraulic and gas springs absorbers: complete guide
When analyzing shock absorption systems, it is essential to understand how a gas spring works and how it differs from a hydraulic shock absorber. Hydraulic shock absorbers can lose effectiveness due to the formation of bubbles, while gas springs maintain stable pressure thanks to compressed nitrogen. This provides controlled, progressive, and safe movement in both domestic and industrial applications.
Well-known brands are available on the market, such as certain models used in production lines similar to those of Montcada, Stabilus, or even Resorgas, although it is important to understand that there are compatible alternatives that perform equivalent functions without necessarily relying on specific brands.
How to choose the right gas spring
Selecting the right spring determines the efficiency and durability of the system. Correctly calculating springs with the right internal gas pressure ensures that the force, travel, and type of mounting are suited to the application, whether in pistons for heavy doors, technical furniture, or industrial mechanisms.
At our gas spring store, GasspringsEu, which specializes in industrial and domestic gas springs, it is common to find customized gas springs, making it easy to tailor the product to the exact needs of the project.
Advantages of our gas springs:
- Progressive and stable movement
- Shock absorption
- Longer system life
- Opening and closing control
Within this category, non-locking lift or mat gas springs are an excellent option when movement assistance without a locking function is required. On the other hand, gas dampers, door dampers, or gas spring door dampers allow you to control the closing of panels, doors, and folding systems. For vehicles, trunk dampers by size facilitate precise replacement according to the model or manufacturer.
Industrial and domestic applications
In industrial environments, gas springs are used in machinery, heavy panels, and equipment with repetitive movements. In the home, lift gas springs are used in furniture, divan beds, and folding mechanisms. They are also essential in assisted opening systems and pistons for heavy doors.
In the automotive sector, it is common to look for compatible spare parts for trunks or tailgates in vehicles such as Toyota, Renault, Ford, Mercedes, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Citroën, or Peugeot, where replacement by measurements is key.
Our expansion and catalog
With extensive experience in the production of shock absorbers and gas springs, we have expanded our catalog to offer solutions tailored to the entire Spanish market. We offer gas springs, drawer slides, and specific accessories for industrial and domestic applications, always with the possibility of total customization.
Industrial springs with threaded ends in stock: compression products that operate with low friction, the right length for your needs, and a cylinder-piston that adapts to any condition.
We do not depend on any brand
Although there may be well-known references on the market, such as those used in some lines reminiscent of Montcada, Stabilus, or Resorgas, our gas springs focus on compatibility and customization. We offer:
- Gas springs for 90, 105, 135, and 150 cm divan beds
- Ball and nut fixing springs
- Springs for folding beds
- Bicycle rack springs
- Tailgate dampers adjusted to size
- Compatible solutions for Toyota, Renault, Ford, Mercedes, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Citroën, and Peugeot vehicles
