Industrial Gas Springs, Inc. - Product Announcements

Micro compression gas springs offer users many advantages due their small size and low force. (read more)

Industrial Gas Springs, Inc., provides high quality nitrogen charged gas springs. We were formed to supply the specialized needs of original equipment manufacturers and other companies whose applications require higher quality custom designed springs than are generally available from other manufacturers.

While the gas spring is a simple device, correct use in even simple applications can be complex and time consuming. To save engineering time and simplify the process, IGS offers two methods to meet your needs: (read more)

Compression springs are the most commonly used. When the rod is compressed into the cylinder it extends out when the compressive force is removed or reduced. (read more)

Industrial Gas Springs Inc (IGS)., supplies a full range of high quality compression gas springs, locking gas springs, tension and stainless steel gas springs, dampers, gas struts and gas shocks in collaboration with IGS Ltd., England. (read more)

To properly use gas springs in even the simplest application, users should understand how they work and how a gas spring can be modified to meet specific operating requirements. Gas springs may also be refered to as gas struts, gas props, gas shocks, gas lifts, or gas dampers depending on the industry and application. (read more)

Stainless Steel Gas Springs from Industrial Gas Springs. When used in corrosive environments, stainless steel gas springs should be used to prevent corrosion on the gas spring rod and other surfaces. Any corrosion on the rod surface will be drawn through and damage the main seal resulting in premature spring failure. (read more)

A flexible locking gas spring has nitrogen gas on both sides of the piston. (read more)

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). (read more)

These are similar to the rigid in tension locking springs with oil on both sides of the piston. However, in the case of a rigid in compression spring the oil is contained in the closed end of the tube and a floating piston retains the gas in the nose bearing end chamber. (read more)

Tension Gas Springs from Industrial Gas Springs.

Industrial Gas Springs supplies a complete range of tension gas springs. Sometimes referred to as traction springs, these units operate the opposite of compression gas springs. (read more)

Locking Gas Springs from Industrial Gas Springs.

A locking gas spring incorporates a mechanism to enable the rod to be locked at any point in its travel. This mechanism is actuated by a plunger that protrudes from the rod. When this plunger is depressed the rod is free to operate as normal. When the plunger is released, which may be at any point in the stroke, the rod is locked... (read more)
