High-Quality Content Written for the Discerning Design Engineer
Understanding the importance of answering commonly asked industry questions regarding gas springs and dampers, we have teamed up with numerous publications across engineering and manufacturing to provide high-quality content to the discerning design engineer.
This continuing our mission to be more than just a manufacturer of gas springs and dampers.
Often finding the same questions regarding gas springs, dampers and motion control solutions being asked, we have teamed up with leading publications to put our content answering these questions in front of design engineers world-wide.
To begin with, we have compiled four whitepapers. The first of these whitepapers has been written as a guide to understanding the basics of gas spring application; providing the reader a basic understanding of the workings and terminology used when specifying gas springs and dampers. This whitepaper also describes the differences orientation and damping expected dependent on the mounting position chosen.
The following three whitepapers have been written by engineers, for engineers. These technical whitepapers include a two-part technical overview, discussing ‘forces’, ‘effect of rod diameter’, ‘effect of rod insertion’ and ‘effects and limits of temperature on gas springs’ – with the second of the technical overviews covering ‘damping’, ‘metering and extension speeds’, ‘friction and P1 – P4 charts’, ‘force and force ratios’ and ‘oil levels’.
Following on from our technical overview guides, Technical Director Matt Warne has provided an in-depth technical whitepaper on gas spring mounting. This whitepaper covers a wide variety of areas including ‘handling forces’, ‘mounting positions and gas spring sizing’, ‘mounting orientations’, ‘mounting – crossover, self-rise and self-close’, ‘mounting – practical application’ and ‘mounting – dampers’.

At Camloc, we customise your gas struts and dampers to your unique requirements
When it comes to gas struts and dampers, one size does not fit all. The importance of finding the perfect solution for your specific needs cannot be overstated. That's why we offer a wide range of customisation options, allowing you to tailor your gas struts and dampers to your unique requirements.
If you’re designing an application that needs to be lifted, lowered or controlled, you need a gas strut!
Attention project design engineers. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient solution to lift, lower or control something in your project, gas struts might just be the answer you've been searching for. Gas struts, also known as gas springs, are highly versatile and can be used to provide controlled movement and support in a wide range of applications. They offer a smooth and synchronised motion and can efficiently support heavy loads with minimum effort.
Installing Gas Struts: The do’s and don’ts for optimal performance
Gas struts play a crucial role in various applications, providing controlled and smooth motion. However, improper installation and handling can compromise their functionality and lifespan.
