Re: Gas springs and Q&A #Q695

The brochure you link to appears to be an "artist's rendering" of what it really looks like inside a gas spring.

I think that the Q&A is talking about gas filled shock absorbers, and you are talking about gas springs. One has quite a bit of oil, and the oil is used for damping over the entire stroke, and the gas is used only to reduce aeration of the oil. The other has gas in it as the working medium, and oil is used only for lubrication.

Some folks just ask too many questions!
