Explained, gas spring
For those who are not familiar with our product follows a short explanation. The function of a gas spring is supporting the opening and closing of (heavy) doors and hatches. You can think of them as a helping hand that never gets tired. A gas spring, also known as a gas strut, is a very reliable compact object consisting of a cylinder with a piston (sliding airtight object). The cylinder can is filled with compressed nitrogen which results in a resilient operation. Because of this resilience, pushing open a heavy door is much easier and when closing it, the heaviness will be dampened.
