IS IT A GAS SPRING, GAS STRUT, OR GAS SHOCK?

A lot of people use these terms interchangeably. How can you tell when you need a gas strut or a gas shock and not a gas spring?

**Gas Strut:
- A gas strut is a device that uses compressed gas to provide controlled and smooth motion. It typically consists of a piston rod connected to a piston enclosed in a cylinder filled with gas.
- Gas struts are commonly used in automotive applications, furniture, and machinery to assist in lifting or supporting movements.

 **Gas Spring:
- A gas spring is essentially the same as a gas strut. It consists of a piston rod, piston, and cylinder filled with gas. The terms "gas spring" and "gas strut" are often used interchangeably.
- Gas springs are employed in various industries for applications requiring controlled force and damping, such as in chairs, hospital beds, and industrial machinery.

 **Gas Shock:
- The term "gas shock" is also used to describe a component similar to a gas strut or gas spring. It typically refers to a device that absorbs and dampens shocks and vibrations using compressed gas.
- Gas shocks are often found in vehicle suspension systems, where they help absorb and control the impact forces during driving.

In summary, while these terms may be used interchangeably in many cases, they generally refer to devices that use compressed gas to provide controlled motion, support, or damping. The specific term used may depend on the industry or application context.If you want to know more about them,please contact us!!
