What are gas traction springs and how are they used?

Gas traction springs work in a similar way to gas pressure springs, but in the opposite direction. Instead of extending, they retract the piston rod. Equipped with a tube and a piston rod that retracts under load, these springs use the pressure of the filled gas to generate a tensile force. This feature makes them perfect for applications where parts need to be retracted or held in position, such as automated doors, flaps or as counterweights in various mechanical devices.

Various types of gas traction springs for a wide range of applications

Gas traction springs are available in different materials, e.g. steel and stainless steel V2A, and in numerous variants to meet the respective requirements.


Gas traction springs

Gas traction springs work in the opposite direction to gas pressure springs - i.e. on "traction". A gas traction spring is suitable wherever a gas spring cannot be installed for space reasons and a force deflection may be required. Another advantage: Our gas traction springs can be used in any position.

Lockable gas traction springs

Lockable gas traction springs are suitable for applications where infinitely variable locking is required. These springs can be fixed in any stroke position.

Individual gas traction springs (special types)

We offer customized special types for special requirements. Different diameters and materials, e.g. V2A stainless steel and also gas traction springs with valve are possible. Talk to us! We will work with you to develop the solution for your application.

Function and mechanism of the gas traction springs

The gas traction springs use the excess pressure of the nitrogen gas inside the pressure tube to generate a smooth and powerful pulling movement. It reliably pulls back the components to be adjusted and holds them in the desired position. Its simple design makes it a tool for numerous applications where this precise performance is required.
The springs provide a reliable and consistent pulling force that is ideal for balancing or counterholding weights. Like their counterparts, the gas springs, they are essential for stability and safety in their areas of application.
