In demanding environments, standard gas struts simply won’t suffice. That’s where stainless steel gas struts shine, offering unparalleled resistance to corrosion, extreme temperatures, and harsh chemicals. Stainless gas shocks importance spans numerous industries, from marine and food processing to medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Why? Because reliability and longevity are paramount. That’s why GASTAC stands as a leading manufacturer of high-quality stainless gas springs, designed to withstand the harshest conditions. We understand the critical importance of durable, precise motion control, and our commitment to excellence shines through in every product.
What is Stainless Steel Gas Struts？
Stainless steel gas struts are motion control devices using compressed gas within a cylinder.Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, they offer durable support and controlled movement in demanding environments like marine, food, and medical applications
How Stainless Steel Gas Strut Works?
A stainless steel gas strut uses compressed nitrogen gas inside a cylinder. As the rod extends or compresses, the gas pressure controls the movement. Seals prevent gas leakage. The stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance. They provide smooth, controlled motion and support in various applications.
Why Choose Stainless Steel Over Other Materials?
Stainless gas strut offers superior corrosion resistance, durability, and hygiene compared to other materials. It withstands harsh environments, extreme temperatures, and is easy to clean, making it ideal for demanding applications.
Stainless Steel Gas Struts Material Grades (304 vs 316)
304 and 316 stainless steel gas struts offer distinct advantages. 304 is cost-effective, resisting most corrosion. 316, containing molybdenum, provides superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich (marine) environments. Choose based on specific application demands.
Advantages of Stainless Steel Gas Struts
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel resists rust and chemical damage, crucial in harsh environments.
- Durability & Longevity: Robust material ensures long-term performance and withstands heavy loads.
- Hygiene & Cleanliness: Non-porous surface prevents bacteria growth, ideal for sensitive applications.
- Temperature Tolerance: Maintains structural integrity across wide temperature ranges.
Stainless Steel Gas Struts Applications
Marine (Boat Hatches, Lids)
Medical Equipment
Food Processing
Industrial Machinery
Customization and Specifications
Custom stainless steel gas struts tailor force,stroke, extended length, end fittings, and materials to specific needs. This ensures optimal performance and fit for unique applications, enhancing durability and functionality.
Stainless Steel Gas Struts End fitting
Stainless steel gas strut end fittings connect the strut to equipment. GASTAC offer various types (ball joint, gas spring eyelet) for secure, corrosion-resistant mounting, ensuring proper function and durability.
How to determine the right specifications?
To obtain the dimensions of the stainless steel gas spring by measuring the stroke, extended length, rod Ø, tube Ø as shown in the illustration, to select the appropriate end fitting and to calculate the force by determining the gravitational force of the object to be lifted.
