What does a gas spring do?
A gas spring uses pressurized gas in a sealed body to help lift, hold or damp the movement of a hinged component. It reduces the effort needed to open the component and helps keep it in position once open.
What are common signs a gas spring needs replacing?
Common signs include the component no longer staying open on its own, slow or weak lifting, oil or residue around the rod or body, a bent or damaged rod, and unusual noise or jerky movement during operation. Follow your machine's service manual for inspection and replacement procedures.
What should I have ready when I order?
