Gas springs are used in many different situations — cars, chairs, washing machines, printer lids, covers for machines, agricultural machinery, and so on.

When something needs to be tilted, lifted up or opened, the gas spring comes into its own. There are many potential applications for gas springs and your ideas and innovations used in conjunction with a gas spring can result in good and ergonomic products.

Our range of tailgate gas struts is divided in two groups, those for vehicles and those for industry. Lesjöfors’ range of gas springs intended for use in motor bonnets/hoods and boots/trunks is comprised of 400 different models. All gas springs are custom-made for the relevant model of car and are delivered complete with the appropriate fittings. The industrial range consists of more than 300 different models which are combined with a number of different fittings. We stock all kinds of different stroke lengths from 20 mm up to 500 mm with the force ranging from 40 to 2000 Newton. In our range there is also a series of blockable gas springs, release mechanisms, handles and wire. The following links will connect you to the company in charge of the sales and distribution of our range of gas springs

Technical Information

A gas spring consists of the piston, the piston housing and the piston rod, the seals and the steering. A gas spring is filled with nitrogen gas to a high pressure to provide the resistance. In addition to the nitrogen gas, there is also a certain amount of oil in the gas spring. Oil gives gas springs optimal lubrication as well as providing hydraulic damping towards the end of the motion. Our completely maintenance free gas springs have a standard length of life of more than 50 000 complete load changes. A great advantage of gas springs over conventional springs is the small increase in force: The force in a gas spring does not change by more than 30% throughout the stroke.

Lesjöfors has lengthy experience of gas springs that we are happy toshare with others. You are welcome to contact us if you need help with calculations or if you wish to receive more information on this product. It is also possible to order our catalogue which contains a complete specification of the dimensions.
