The functionality of gas springs is based on the principle of pneumatics, i.e. the use of compressed air to perform mechanical work. The basic components of a gas spring are the closed pressure tube and the piston rod with piston. Filling the pressure tube with compressed nitrogen creates a variably adjustable counter-pressure that generates the desired spring force. The optimum interaction of the elements used and the high-precision manufacture of all the parts installed are essential for the production of a perfectly functioning gas spring. The correct dosage of hydraulic oil is just as relevant as the diameter of the piston rod and the cylinder volume. High-quality gas springs, such as those manufactured by Bauckhage, are ideal for the precise opening and secure holding of flaps, ceilings and hatches in industry and vehicle construction. Lifting, moving and adjusting, even of heavy elements, is no problem with Bauckhage gas springs.

The gas spring supports the manual force, such as that used to open a hatch, so that it can be moved comfortably, precisely and with little effort. Gas springs are used in medical technology as well as in the therapeutic field. The controlled lifting, adjustment and fixing of treatment devices, chairs and couches is a key area of application here. Mechanical engineering and the furniture industry also use gas springs in a wide variety of applications.

Over 50 years of experience make Bauckhage a professional partner in all areas of application. Gas springs from Bauckhage guarantee maximum reliability and durability in all areas.
