All micro, compression, locking and tension gas springs are manufactured in 316 stainless steel. All others are manufactured to order. The most popular stainless steel compression gas spring sizes are available from stock.
When used in corrosive environments, stainless steel gas springs should be used to prevent corrosion on the gas spring rod and other surfaces. Any corrosion on the rod surface will be drawn through and damage the main seal resulting in premature spring failure.
Release Valves:
With the exception of the mico gas springs, all gas springs incorporate a ball release valve, which allows the installer to release gas until the correct force is obtained. Should too much gas be released, IGS can re-pressurize the spring at a nominal cost.
