Gas springs has significant use across automotive, aerospace, military, and power generation

  Gas springs are designed for several applications where high tension, extreme forces of friction, or sudden pressure are encountered. A gas spring also called a dynamic pendulum, is a device that, unlike an ordinary mechanical spring which relies exclusively on mechanical deformation to store potential energy, uses compressed gas stored in an enclosed piston attached to a sliding piston shaft enclosed by a flexible diaphragm to pneumatic potential energy and resist external force applied perpendicular to the piston's shaft. These springs are used in a variety of industries such as automotive, aerospace, military, power generation, and more. They have numerous applications including vibration control, high-speed transportation, and high-pressure turbine induction systems. The principle of operation of a gas spring lies in its design, which features two adjoining cylinders separated by a flexible second rod. When compressed gas is stored in the first cylinder, the spring's p...
