What type of gas is used within gas springs?

All of our gas springs use nitrogen gas because it is inert and non-flammable. Ultimately, this means that the gas does not react with any of the internal components of our gas springs – increasing their lifespan and making them safe to use.

Do my gas springs need to be protected from contamination or damage?

It is always important to protect the spring from possible impacts, scratches and contamination. Damage or contamination to the rod will compromise the seal and result in premature failure of the product and its application. We have a variety of shrouds available to protect rods where necessary – please speak to our team to find out more about these.

What is the life span of a gas spring?

Of course, the number of strokes that a gas spring can make differs per application. The precise lifespan therefore depends on a number of factors. Such as dirt that ends up between the piston rod and the cylinder, the way in which the gas spring is attached or simply the intensity of use. On average, Bansbach gas springs last between 50,000 and 1,00,000 double strokes.
