Stainless Steel Gas Springs Overview
 When used in corrosive environments, stainless steel gas springs should be used to prevent corrosion on the gas spring rod and other surfaces. Any corrosion on the rod surface will be drawn through and damage the main seal resulting in premature spring failure.
All micro, compression, locking and tension gas springs are manufactured in 316 stainless steel. The most popular stainless steel compression gas spring sizes are available from stock. All others are manufactured to order.
Release Valves:
With the exception of the mico gas springs, all gas springs incorporate a ball release valve, which allows the installer to release gas until the correct force is obtained. Should too much gas be released, IGS can re-pressurize the spring at a nominal cost.
Features:
- All gas spring parts are made of 316 stainless steel
- Uses non-toxic oil. (FDA Approved oil is also available on request)
- Designed & built to the highest gas spring manufacturing standards
Applications:
Ideal for marine, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and medical applications. A non-magnetic gas spring version is also available for use in the vicinity of MRI Scanners.
For help on how to calculate the size and force required for an application, please refer to our Technical and Design Reference section.
Other sizes and types of gas springs can be manufactured to stainless steel specifications upon request (subject to minimum order quantity):
- Locking gas springs (all types and sizes)
- Tension gas springs / traction gas springs (all sizes)
- Special end-fittings
- Extreme temperature operation
- Slow extension rates
- Fast extension rates
- Flight released for use on aircraft frames
