What can we do when gas spring in low temperature?

As a widely used pneumatic component in the fields of machinery, automobiles, furniture, etc., gas springs work by utilizing the compression and expansion of gas to provide support and cushioning. However, in low-temperature environments, the performance of gas springs may be affected, so special attention should be paid during use and maintenance. Here are some key precautions and preventive measures.

The influence of low temperature on gas springs:
1.  Gas viscosity increase : Low temperature can cause an increase in gas viscosity, thereby affecting the response speed and stability of gas springs.
2. Material brittleness: The material of gas springs may become more fragile at low temperatures, making them prone to fracture or deformation.
3.  Decreased sealing performance : Low temperature may cause aging or hardening of sealing materials, thereby affecting the sealing performance of gas springs and leading to gas leakage.
4. Changes in working pressure : The pressure of gas will decrease at low temperatures, which may cause the gas spring to fail to provide the expected support force.

 Preventive measures for gas spring in low temperature:

1.Choose a gas spring suitable for low temperatures: When using gas springs in low temperature environments, products specifically designed for low temperatures should be selected. These gas springs typically use low-temperature resistant materials and special sealing designs to ensure that they can still function properly at low temperatures.
2. Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly inspect the gas spring, especially before and after the low temperature season, to ensure its sealing and good working condition. Check whether the sealing ring is aging or deformed, and replace it if necessary.
3.Avoid drastic temperature changes : In the environment where gas springs are used, try to avoid drastic temperature changes as much as possible. For example, avoid exposing gas springs directly to extremely cold environments or experiencing alternating high and low temperatures in a short period of time.
4. Reasonable design of usage environment: When designing the usage environment of gas springs, low temperature factors should be considered, and gas springs should be installed in areas with relatively stable temperatures as much as possible, avoiding direct contact with cold metal surfaces.
5. Use heating device: In extremely low temperature environments, it is possible to consider using a heating device to maintain the working temperature of the gas spring and ensure its normal operation.
6. Training operators: Train operators on the impact of low temperatures on gas springs and corresponding maintenance measures to improve overall safety.
