Definition and application of self-locking gas spring

The gas spring is a kind of support equipment with strong air tightness, so the gas spring can also be called a support rod. The most common types of gas spring are free gas spring and self-locking gas spring. Today Tieying introduces the definition and application of self-locking gas spring to you, as follows:

Definition of self-locking gas spring: self-locking gas spring, also known as angle adjuster, is a gas spring that can be locked at any position of travel. There is a needle valve at the piston rod end of the self-locking gas spring to open the needle valve, and the self-locking gas spring can operate like a free gas spring; When the needle valve is released, the self-locking gas spring can be self-locking at the current position, and the self-locking force is often large, that is, it can support relatively large force. Therefore, the self-locking gas spring can lock at any position of the stroke while maintaining the function of the free gas spring, and can also bear a large load after locking. Self-locking gas spring can be divided into elastic self-locking and rigid self-locking according to different self-locking forms. Rigid self-locking can be divided into rigid self-locking in the pressing direction, rigid self-locking in the stretching direction and rigid self-locking in the pressing and stretching direction. The so-called elastic self-locking means that when the gas spring opens the needle valve, there is a buffering effect when the needle valve is released for self-locking, while the rigid self-locking has almost no buffering.

Application of self-locking gas spring: because self-locking gas spring has the functions of supporting and adjusting height at the same time, the operation is very flexible and the structure is relatively simple. Therefore, self-locking gas springs have been widely used in medical equipment, beauty chairs, furniture, aviation, luxury buses and other fields.
