Combination Gas Springs

Different gas spring rod and body combinations are used when the K-Factor has to be lower or higher than standard (e.g., a lower or higher difference between the fully extended and fully compressed forces). Most applications requiring a low K-Factor benefit from these combination springs, while those requiring higher than standard K-Factors can be met by simply increasing the fluid fill of a standard gas spring rod and body combination.

LOW K Factor

These gas springs are most useful where a straight lift is required (i.e.: TV monitors). The difference between the force when the gas spring is fully compressed and the force when it is fully extended will be very small, thus ensuring a near-constant hand force to be applied along its movement.

HIGH K Factor

In some cases it is in the interest of the user to have as much force as possible when the gas spring is compressed and a force as small as possible when the gas spring is extended.
