Gas Shock Strut

A gas shock  strut is a hydraulic shock which is injected a certain amount of low-pressure gas or oil. Most often nitrogen gas is used. A gas shock dampens or slows down a motion, so they are used in cars, trucks, on doors and in airplanes.

The Gas Shock Absorber Cylinder is a dampers or shocks, which are devices that can restrict motion through viscous friction. They absorb energy and dissipate it in the form of heat. This special purpose dampers are designed to use in medical industry, which use a special internal fluids for use in sensitive and sterile areas. This can also operate in imaging and diagnostic equipment. It can also be deployed for slam prevention and speed control in the lowering of a hospital bed side rail system or to slow the opening of a maintenance cover etc., Hydraulic dampers are usually specified by their stroke and constant of proportionality. This particular damper has stroke capacity up to 52 mm and maximum force resistance is 20 lbs.
