gas spring

What are JUTENG gas springs filled with?

Only nitrogen is used as the pressure medium in JUTENG gas springs. About 75% of the air we breath consists of this gas. Nitrogen is absolutely safe and harmless to health. In addition, nitrogen does not burn. On the contrary, nitrogen is used in the chemical industry to prevent and extinguish fires. In addition, every JUTENG pneumatic spring contains flame-retardant oil to lubricate the seals and to achieve certain functions, such as damping or rigid locking. 

How high is the pressure in a gas spring?

The filling pressure of JUTENG gas springs depends on the extension force and the geometry and is between 5N and 3000N. 

Should gas spring be installed with the piston rod facing up or down?

In general, gas springs should be installed with the piston rod facing down to ensure the piston rod seal is lubricated and to reduce the permeation of nitrogen through the seal. However, the opposite installation may be necessary in some special cases, for example if the gas spring requires a very specific damping characteristic. In such cases, the lubrication of the piston rod seal must be ensured by special measures (space mat).
