A factory-trusted replacement gas spring shock for Belanger automatic car wash equipment. A gas spring uses compressed gas to help support or control the movement of parts Belanger car wash equipment, such as brushes or doors. It works by storing energy in compressed gas, providing a smooth and controlled motion, which is useful for lifting or damping heavy components. This spring exerts 20lb of force.
Gas springs, also known as gas struts or gas dampers, are hydro-pneumatic devices that use compressed nitrogen gas, often with oil, to store potential energy and provide controlled force. Unlike mechanical springs, they offer an almost flat force curve, making them ideal for applications requiring proportional force to lift or move heavy objects. Common applications include automotive hoods, furniture doors, medical equipment, and industrial machinery, as noted in various industry resources.
The principle of operation involves a cylinder and piston rod, where compressing the gas creates resistance, acting like a spring. This is particularly useful for controlled lifting, positioning, and lowering, reducing physical stress and enhancing safety. For instance, in automotive uses, gas springs assist in opening and closing tailgates and trunk lids, providing hands-free access and smooth operation.
