Overview Gas Springs > Gas Springs | Lockable Gas Springs | Gas Tension Springs | Lockable Gas Tension Springs
Gas tension springs:
The throttle cable is always retracted by default. This type works in reverse to standard gas springs. When a force greater than the compressed nitrogen filling pressure is applied, the tension spring pushes out to the maximum extended length.
This type of spring is usually used when space reasons, the application of a compression spring is not possible. The throttle cable spring is available in two versions: with end damping and without end damping.
We offer standard 3 types of gas tension springs:
Gas tension spring without damping
This spring is mostly used to balance a weight. In the normal position, the piston rod of the gas pressure spring is always extended. The gas pressure on both sides of the piston in the gas pressure spring is the same. The gas is compressible. When an external force is applied to the piston rod towards the cylinder, the piston compresses the gas. Due to the penetration of the piston into the cylinder, the gas pressure increases. When the external force decreases, the piston returns to its original position.
