Gas Spring is a hydro-pneumatic device in which gas performs the function of the elastic element. It is installed in modern cars in the luggage compartment or under the hood, with the aim of a comfortable opening and holding the lid.

2. With double rod seal and an optional installation as concerns the rod direction.
3. Gas spring with the oil chamber.

By type of damping at the end of course:

1. The cylinder filled with nitrogen.
2. The cylinder connector.
3. The rod attached to the piston.
4. Rod connector.
5. Piston with orifices.
6. A lubricant and a piston guide bush.

In the construction of gas springs there is a special seal and synthetic oil, providing trouble-free and long-term operation under all environmental conditions.

The service life of gas springs is unlimited. Depending on the operating conditions they will last for many years. But the impact of environmental factors and mechanical damage can disable them. To extend the period of operation, it is enough to regularly clean the piston rods.

• connectors breakdown;
• tight rod movement;
• lubricant leak;
• cylinder deformation.

• the lid opens by applying a large force;
• the cover is not fixed in the open position;

• force impact;
• insufficient lubrication due to wear of the seals.

Repair of the gas spring is not done. In case of failure only the replacement is carried out. To do this:

1. Raise the hood and fix it with an additional support.
2. Loosen the fastenings and remove the kit.
3. Install a new part and fix it.
4. Remove the support and test the gas spring.
