What are GASTAC Tension Gas Springs?
GASTAC’s tension gas springs, also known as traction or pulling gas springs, operate uniquely. They pull, unlike standard compression gas springs that push. This reversed action addresses specific design challenges. When mounting constraints prevent compression spring use, GASTAC’s tension springs excel. Think of bottom-hinged doors or lids needing a pull-to-close action. They also function as tensioners in mechanical systems.
GASTAC’s Traction Gas Strut Mechanics
GASTAC’s tension gas springs pull, not push. The rod rests inside the cylinder when relaxed. Upon opening, the tension gas strut extends up to 90% of its length. Then, the cylinder pulls the rod back. This controlled movement resists opening. The strut aims to return the application to its closed state. Ideal for applications that open via gravity, and require a closing force. Like loft hatches or trailer doors.
Selecting the Ideal Tension Gas Strut
Application needs dictate choice. Weight and dimensions matter. Force requirements impact selection. Measure precisely for best results. Space constraints are a key factor. Mounting points must align correctly. Expert advice is valuable. Proper specifications ensure optimal performance.

Tailored Tension Gas Strut Solutions
Standard sizes might not fit all projects. Custom options are available. Manufacturers tailor struts precisely. Specific force and dimensions are achieved. This ensures seamless integration. Unique requirements are easily met. Design flexibility is a major advantage. Tension gas struts adapt to any project need.
GASTAC’s Tension Gas Spring Functionality
GASTAC’s tension gas springs work in reverse. They pull the rod inward, not outward. The rod remains unloaded inside the cylinder. When pulled, the force retracts it. These springs excel in counterbalance and lifting applications. They are perfect for doors, hatches, and lids that need to stay closed. They are also efficient where space limits standard gas spring use.
GASTAC’s User-Friendly Features
GASTAC’s gas springs include a gas release valve. An Allen key allows pressure adjustment. This feature enhances control and customization. GASTAC prioritizes ease of use and flexibility. Note: gas struts are sold individually.
The Future of Tension Gas Strut Technology
Innovation pushes boundaries. New materials enhance performance. Smart struts provide electronic control. System integration improves functionality. Predictive maintenance becomes possible. This further boosts overall efficiency. Tension gas struts continue to evolve.
Investing in Premium Tension Gas Struts
