Standard size gas springs
Steel and stainless steel

Industrial Gas Springs Ltd (IGS) holds a stock of popular sizes of gas springs which can be dispatched within three days from receipt of order. With the exception of size 4mm, all gas springs incorporate a release valve, which allows the installer to release gas until the correct force is obtained. Should too much gas be released, IGS can re-pressurise the spring at a nominal cost. The standard range of products covers a wide range of applications. Most sizes are available in limited quantities from stock or can be dispatched in large volumes within 3 to 5 weeks depending on stock levels and production load. All gas springs are charged at the force you specify. If you are not sure of the force required, we recommend that you order a gas spring charged at maximum force with a release valve. This will ensure you have enough force to open your application. For help on how to calculate the size and force required for an application, please refer to our Technical and Design Reference section. Stainless steel Where the gas spring is used in particularly corrosive environments, it is essential that the rod does not corrode. Any corrosion on the rod surface will be drawn through and damage the main seal resulting in premature spring failure. To ensure no corrosion takes place, IGS Stainless steel gas springs are constructed from the finest 316 grade. Stainless steel 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.
