Why the gas spring fail to work?

Gas spring, also known as gas strut or gas lift, is a type of mechanical component that uses compressed gas contained within a cylinder to exert force and provide controlled movement. It consists of a piston rod, a cylinder, and a sealing system. When the gas is compressed, it creates pressure that acts on the piston, allowing the gas spring to support loads, provide damping, and assist in lifting or lowering objects.

Here are some possible reasons that may cause the gas spring to no longer extend:
1. Gas leakage: Gas leakage inside the gas spring may be one of the main reasons for it no longer extending. Gas leakage may be caused by seal damage, material aging, or manufacturing defects. Once gas leaks, the pressure of the gas spring will decrease, causing it to be unable to provide sufficient support.
2. Oil leakage: Some gas springs also contain lubricating oil inside, which is used to reduce friction and maintain the normal operation of internal components. If the lubricating oil leaks, it may cause the gas spring to operate poorly or even completely fail.
3. Internal component wear: Over time, the internal components of the gas spring may wear due to friction, such as pistons, seals, etc. This kind of wear will lead to a decrease in the performance of the gas spring, ultimately causing it to no longer be able to stretch normally.
4. Overload: If the gas spring is subjected to weight or force exceeding its designed load-bearing capacity, it may cause damage or failure of the gas spring. This situation usually occurs in cases of improper installation or use.
5. Environmental factors: The working environment of gas springs may have an impact on their performance. For example, extreme temperatures, humid environments, or corrosive substances may accelerate the aging and damage of gas springs.
In order to extend the service life of the gas spring and reduce the possibility of it no longer extending, it is recommended to regularly check the condition of the gas spring, avoid overloading, and follow the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines during installation and use. If there is a problem with the gas spring, it should be replaced or repaired in a timely manner to ensure the safety and normal operation of the equipment.
