Gas Spring Safety and Installation Guidelines

Gas Spring Safety and Installation Guidelines

Proper handling and installation of gas springs are essential to ensure safe operation, long-lasting performance, and reliability. Gas springs contain pressurized nitrogen and sensitive sealing components that must be treated carefully. Before installing or using any gas spring, it is important to follow the instructions below to prevent damage, ensure smooth operation, and maintain warranty coverage.

Please read the following instructions carefully to ensure safe use of the gas spring and avoid damage.

Piston Rod Protection

Before installing or handling a gas spring, it’s essential to protect the piston rod from any form of damage. The rod surface plays a key role in sealing and smooth movement—any scratch, dent, or paint contamination can lead to leakage or product failure. Please follow the guidelines below carefully to maintain product performance and warranty validity.

▪ Do Not

Scratch, dent, chip, bend, or paint the piston rod

▪ Important

Rod damage will invalidate the guarantee

Standard Gas Spring Seal

Before installing a standard gas spring, it’s important to understand how its internal seal works. The seal ensures smooth movement and prevents gas leakage, but it relies on proper lubrication from the oil inside the cylinder. Incorrect installation can lead to premature wear or failure.

▪ Proper Seal Design

Standard gas springs (no special internal oil chamber) have a seal where the piston rod enters the cylinder.

▪ Lubrication Requirement

The seal must be lubricated by the oil inside the cylinder for correct operation.

Storage & Installation Orientation

Proper storage and installation orientation are essential to ensure the gas spring’s long-term performance. Keeping the piston rod positioned downward allows internal oil to lubricate the seal effectively, reducing friction and wear. Incorrect orientation may cause insufficient lubrication, leading to seal failure or reduced lifespan.

▪ Keep the Piston Rod Down

Store and install the gas spring with the piston rod facing downward to ensure proper lubrication and sealing.

▪ Maintain Rod-Down Position

If the gas spring cannot be fully installed rod-down, make sure it stays in that position most of the time during use.

▪ For Special Oil Chamber Springs

For gas springs with special oil chambers, please contact Gastac for professional installation guidance.

Gas Pressure & Safety

Gas springs are high-pressure devices filled with inert nitrogen gas. Proper handling is crucial to ensure safety and prevent damage. Misuse, puncturing, or incineration can lead to dangerous failures. Always follow installation guidelines and safety precautions when handling gas springs.

▪ Pressurized with Nitrogen Gas

Gas springs are filled with inert nitrogen gas under pressure to ensure stable performance and smooth operation.

▪ Safety Warning

Gas springs are high-pressure components. Do not puncture, heat, or burn the cylinder to avoid explosion or injury.

Gas Spring Installation instruction

Gas spring has nitrogen gas in the cylinder, and through the piston, there is elastic features for it. The product does not require outside work force, and its lift force is stable, free extending and compressing(lockable gas spring can be positioned anywhere). Therefore, its application is very wide, but the following points shall be noticed when we install it:

  • The gas spring piston rod must be installed in the down position, no reverse, which can reduce friction and ensure good lubrication and buffer damping performance.
  • To confirm installation position can guarantee that the gas spring works properly. The gas spring must be installed with the correct method, that is, when it is closed, let it move in a line, otherwise, the gas spring will often automatically open the door.
  • In order to ensure the reliability of sealing, the piston rod surface should not be destroyed. It is strictly prohibited that the paint or chemical should be coated on the piston rod. And it is not allowed to install the gas spring in the desired position before painted.
  • The gas spring force should not be tilted or transverse forces acting on the working.
  • Gas spring is high-pressure products, non-random Puncture and Incinerate.
  • It is prohibited that anticlockwise direction should be operated with piston rod. If you need to adjust the fitting direction, can only turn clockwise direction.
  • Installing the coupling point, should be flexible rotation, which means it can not have jamming phenomenon.
  • The use of ambient temperature: -35 ℃ – + 70 ℃. (Specific manufacturing 80 ℃).

  • Gas spring reasonable size is needed, and the force should be appropriate. There is 8mm more to work after gas spring installation.
