Outdoor doors (such as industrial warehouse doors, commercial building entrances, ship hatches, etc.) need to withstand wind and rain, frequent opening and closing, and long-term load, so the requirements for the support system are extremely high. Traditional mechanical hinges or hydraulic support structures often have problems such as easy wear, high maintenance costs, and inconvenient operation. Gas springs are becoming an ideal choice for the outdoor door industry with their advantages such as smooth buffering, corrosion resistance, and maintenance-free.
The key role of gas springs in Automatic Gate Closer：
1. Smooth opening and closing, reducing impact
- Gas springs provide controllable support force through internal nitrogen pressure, allowing heavy outdoor doors (such as metal rolling doors and hangar doors) to open and close **slowly and smoothly**, avoiding the "banging" phenomenon and reducing the wear of the door body and frame.
- Especially suitable for strong wind environments to prevent the door leaf from swinging out of control due to wind.
2. Easy operation, saving manpower
- Traditional heavy doors usually require manual effort to push and pull or rely on motor drive, while gas springs can provide **power support**, allowing users to easily open and close the door with only a small amount of force, improving the user experience.
- Suitable for places with frequent entry and exit, such as logistics warehouses, fire passages, etc.
3. Strong weather resistance, adaptable to harsh environments
- **Stainless steel gas springs** (such as 304/316 materials) have excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for seaside, high humidity, and high salt spray environments (such as ships and coastal buildings).
- **Ordinary gas springs with special surface coating** can also be used in general outdoor scenes, but they need regular inspection and maintenance.
4. Extend the life of the door body and reduce maintenance costs
- The buffering effect of the gas spring can reduce the hard collision between the door body and the frame, avoid problems such as loose hinges and screws falling off, and extend the overall service life.
- Compared with traditional hydraulic support rods, gas springs **do not require oiling and maintenance**, and long-term use is more economical.
