Why does the gas spring break?

The gas spring breaks when it is not used properly. So what circumstances will cause gas spring break? Today, let's summarize some situations that makes gas spring break:

1. The mandrel is too small or the spring is used horizontally, and the gas spring and the mandrel are worn and broken.

2. The use of foreign matters between the gas spring coils reduces the actual number of effective coils, resulting in high stress and fracture.

3. The gas spring is used in series to make it bend and exceed the length of the mandrel or countersunk hole, or the small difference of the gas spring itself causes the person with weak load to bear large compression and fracture.

4. When the mandrel is too small, the assembly surface is uneven, and the parallelism of the locating surfaces at both ends is poor, the gas spring will be compressed and twisted, and will be broken due to high pressure.

5. The mandrel is too short and the end is not chamfered, which will cause the air spring to break due to friction and wear with the mandrel.

6. The gas spring breaks due to high effective force when it is used beyond the super large compression amount.

7. The material of the gas spring is uneven, or the impurity content exceeds the standard, causing fracture in the stress.

8. The gas spring is burnt, rusted, too hard, and excessively pressed, which will reduce its tensile and compressive strength and cause fracture.

The above is a summary of the situation that will make gas springs break. Guangzhou Tieying Gas Spring Technology Co.,Ltd hopes you will pay more attention to the above situation when using gas spring to avoid the breakage.
