A Nitrogen Gas Spring, also known as a gas strut or gas spring, operates by filling a sealed cylinder with high-pressure nitrogen gas. The nitrogen gas is non-combustible, non-toxic, and odorless. The external force compresses the nitrogen gas through a piston rod. When the external force is removed, the elastic force is obtained by the expansion of the compressed nitrogen gas, making it a nitrogen gas spring.
The development of nitrogen gas springs started around 60 years ago. Bordignon became the leading company in the market by developing new technological solutions applied to springs and nitrogen gas springs.
Nitrogen Gas Springs serve multiple purposes:
The principle of a nitrogen gas spring involves the use of a flexible sealing lip that contacts the rotating shaft to prevent fluid leakage. The lip is designed to maintain contact with the shaft under various operating conditions, including pressure changes and temperature variations. The hydrodynamic action of the rotating shaft helps to enhance the sealing effect.
