Gas spring testing

Universal testing machine inspekt solo-L 1 kN

Technical features

Testing system

  • Universal testing machine inspekt solo 1 kN in L-design with an increased testing speed of 3000 mm/min.
  • High testing speed enables fast and precise determination of the mechanical properties of gas springs.
  • Compact design, ideal for laboratory and production environments.

Testing software

  • LabMaster testing software with special modules for gas spring tests.
  • Automatic measurement data acquisition and evaluation, including force-displacement diagrams and friction calculations.
  • Integration of temperature chambers possible to simulate the function of the gas spring under real environmental conditions.

Test object: Gas springs

  • Function: Pneumatic springs whose spring force is generated by gas under high pressure.
  • Advantages over coil springs:
    • The load remains almost constant, regardless of the spring travel.
    • Compact design enables space-saving integration.
  • Areas of application:
    • Automotive industry: Opening and holding mechanisms for trunk lids, engine hoods.
    • Mechanical engineering: Support for flaps and hoods.
    • Furniture industry: Damping of hinges and lifting devices.

Test methods and measured variables

  • Determination of the push-in and push-out forces as well as the friction effects.
  • Friction is caused by the contact of the piston rod with seals and guides.
  • Measured variables:
    • Spring characteristic curve (load-displacement diagram).
    • Damping behavior at different speeds.
    • Long-term stability through cyclic load tests.

Advantages of the testing machine

  • High test speed for fast test execution.
  • Precise friction measurement to optimize the performance of the gas spring.
  • Flexible use for different gas spring sizes and types.
  • Suitable for series testing and R&D applications.
