  1. Coherent Market Insights Gas Spring is distinguished from a mechanical spring by the use of a moving piston to store potential energy A gas spring is an example of a mechanical spring, which, unlike an ordinary mechanical spring which relies on mechanical elastic deformation alone to store mechanical potential energy, uses compressed gas within an enclosed piston fixed to a revolving cylinder fitted with a piston rod to pneumatically compress the gas, then releasing it at the point where it is needed. The compressed gas is pumped into the piston and the air compression provides the spring's potential energy. Because of its unique design, a gas spring provides a number of key advantages: First, gas spring requires very little maintenance: the stored mechanical energy needs to be compressed and released without any additional pressure being introduced to the system. There is nothing special to do when installing gas springs, other than making sure the cylinder seals well (a common mistake as some cylinders can leak air into the cylinder because of poor seal design). As with any mechanical device, the more users can rely on it to work without problems, the more expensive and complex the system will be over time. However, the savings in money and complexity of operation are well worth the initial investment, because a gas spring has much higher reliability than a spring designed to store mechanical energy (e.g., an electrical motor). Second, the amount of energy required to move a system is far less than that required to move spring. This is because a gas spring requires compression of only one cylinder for its full potential energy storage. In comparison, a spring made from a lump of iron that is compressed multiple times a day in order to provide a certain level of energy requires a piston rod that must be moved (and removed) thousands of times a day. A gas spring's only action is the compression of gas in the cylinder; therefore, there is no need to take the device through any motions at all. In fact, a gas Coherent Market Insights
