Nowadays, many workers don’t know much about its installation method. One advantage of gas springs is that they are easy to install, but how to install them better is different. There are certain requirements. Here we summarize the installation of automobile gas springs. Guidance, we can use as a reference.
Installation Requirements
1. Piston Rod Orientation
The piston rod of the gas spring must be installed in the downward position and must not be installed upside down, which can reduce friction and ensure good damping quality and cushioning performance.
2. Correct Fulcrum Position
Determining the installation position of the fulcrum is the guarantee of whether the gas spring can work correctly. The gas spring must be installed in the correct way, that is, when it is closed, let it move through the center line of the structure, otherwise, the gas spring will often automatically close the door. push away.
3. Avoid Lateral Forces
4. Keep the Piston Rod Undamaged
In order to ensure the reliability of the seal, the surface of the piston rod shall not be damaged, and it is strictly forbidden to apply paint and chemical substances on the piston rod. It is also not allowed to install the gas spring in the desired position before spraying and painting.
5. Handle the Gas Spring Carefully
The gas spring is a high-pressure product, and it is strictly forbidden to analyze, bake, or touch it at will.
6. Piston Rod Rotation Direction
7. Recommended Operating Temperature
The gas spring should operate in an ambient temperature range of -35℃ to +70℃.
8. Flexible Connection Points
9. Size and Stroke Considerations
The size should be reasonable, the size of the force should be appropriate, and the stroke size of the piston rod should be left with an allowance of 8 mm.
Tips
Proper installation of a car gas spring ensures smooth operation, safety, and longer lifespan. Follow these guidelines carefully for optimal performance.
