Types of gas spring

At Gassprings EU, we know that gas springs work using compressed gas and are essential components in a wide variety of applications, from domestic furniture to industrial machinery. In our online gas spring store, you will find different types of springs designed to ensure optimal performance in every environment.

We want to help you understand how gas springs work and how to choose the right gas spring for your needs. Our brand stands out for offering custom gas springs, industrial gas springs, and gas springs for bike racks, in addition to standard and hydraulic models.

Furthermore, at Gassprings EU, you can select the ideal gas spring with nut fastening or side brackets, depending on the type of installation. Our store has a complete range of gas springs.

Main sizes available

Our collection includes four main series of shock absorber gas springs:

  • Series 6/15 (rod Ø 6 mm, tube Ø 15 mm)
  • Series 8/18 (rod Ø 8 mm, tube Ø 18 mm)
  • Series 10/22 (rod Ø 10 mm, tube Ø 22 mm)
  • Series 14/28 (rod Ø 14 mm, tube Ø 28 mm)

The “X/Y” format indicates the diameter of the rod (X mm) and the cylinder/tube (Y mm). These series are designed for different load levels and allow the force to be adjusted according to the application.

Range of application / approximate strength

  • 6/15: for small or light lids.
  • 8/18: for medium loads or domestic use.
  • 10/22: for heavier loads or frequent use.
  • 14/28: for demanding industrial applications.

For example, a table indicates that:

6/15 supports up to ~10 kg.

8/18 between 10 and 40 kg.

10/22 (10-23) between 40 and 150 kg.

14/28 between 150 and 350 kg.

What to consider when choosing


The physical size of the rod and tube directly influences the strength and stiffness of the spring. When choosing a gas spring, consider the extended/compressed length, stroke, and weight of the cap.


Quick selection recommendations

  • For light lids or lids with limited space → 6/15.
  • For domestic use or medium-sized lids → 8/18.
  • For large lids or intensive use → 10/22 or 14/28.

Remember that it is possible to adjust the spring force according to your specific needs and working environment.
