Gas shock absorber with buffer

Gas shock absorber with buffer

A gas shock absorber with buffer is a cylindrical structure in which the piston moves in a closed environment filled with gas (usually nitrogen) under high pressure. When the shock absorber is compressed or extended, the gas provides resistance.

Buffer - an additional element integrated into the shock absorber, which serves to soften the end positions of the movement. It is made of an energy-absorbing component. Its role is to reduce the shock load in the end positions and extend the life of the shock absorber.

🔹 Construction and operating principle:

• The shock absorber consists of a cylinder filled with pressurized nitrogen and a piston that moves inside it.

• When the door is opened, the gas expands, assisting the movement

• When closing, the gas creates resistance, and a built-in buffer absorbs the shock when reaching the end position, ensuring smooth and silent closing

🔹 Features and benefits:
✔ Reduces the load when lifting.
✔ Provides smooth and silent movement
✔ Extends the service life of the hinges and the structure
✔ Built-in buffer protects against sudden closing and impacts
✔ Different force and stroke options according to the application.

🔹 Applications:
✅ Kitchen cabinets with lifting doors
✅ Furniture with flap mechanisms
✅ Luggage doors and technical boxes
✅ Industrial machines and covers

A gas shock absorber with buffer for lifting or flap doors is a mechanical device designed to ensure smooth and controlled opening and closing of the door. It reduces the effort required to lift, holds the door in the open position and prevents a sudden drop when closing
