Considering whether the gas spring is mounted on the compression or extension stroke. Some gas springs are designed to work more efficiently in one direction, and mounting them in the wrong direction can affect their performance.
The first type is vertical installation.
Vertical installation is a common orientation for gas springs, where the rod (extended part) is facing upward.This orientation is suitable for applications where the gas spring is used to lift or support loads in a vertical direction, such as in hatches, cabinets, or doors.
The second type is horizontal installation.
In horizontal installation, the gas spring is mounted with the rod facing sideways.This orientation is appropriate for applications where the gas spring needs to provide support or damping in a horizontal direction, such as with lids or panels that open to the side.
The third type is angled installation.
Gas springs can also be installed at an angle to accommodate specific design requirements.When installed at an angle, the gas spring's force and performance may be influenced, and calculations may be needed to determine the effective force and expected behavior.
Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines and installation instructions specific to the gas spring model you are using. Incorrect installation may lead to reduced performance, premature wear, or safety issues. If in doubt, consult with Guangzhou Tieying Spring Technology Co.,Ltd for professional advice.
