OUR STORY

The Gas Spring Technical Center was started by a former professional in the Gas Spring industry.  Although I have now moved into another industry, I still like to dabble into Gas Spring applications. Many of the engineers I used to work with still contact me for assistance in designing in gas springs. This website was developed to help the engineer as well as the layman working on a home project in which gas springs are to be used. I do not charge for this help.

 

The Technical Center has no allegance to any particular manufacturer. If you have a particular Gas Spring or manufacturer you would like to use, just let me know. I do offer some gas springs for sale through my Ebay store. These are dropped shipped and are priced competitively. I also offer a variety of mounting brackets. I hope to add some accessories in the future such as hinges and latches. The primary mission of the technical center is education. I want to educate on gas springs and their application. If I can supply you with your springs those earnings will be used to expand the technical center and help offset my time spent. I would eventually like to register our own domain name and move the website to a server that would be ad free. Also, if I sell more gas springs I can negotiate a better arrangement to offer them for sale at lower prices and expand our offerings.

I will continually be expanding and adding to this website. So check back often, and if there is something you would like to see added please send me an email and let me know. If you have an application you would like me to assist you with please email me details of the application and a sketch if you can. I have included a design sheet on the site you can use to fill out and provide me with the needed information.
 I have a spreadsheet that I have developed to design Gas Springs into an application, it is called GASSIM. It is a very comprehensive and powerful tool. I have used it to design gas springs into thousands of applications successfully.

 

I will be developing modules to teach about gas springs and their characteristics. We will be doing a lot of education about the application of gas springs as well. Most of this will be centered around GASSIM and how to read it's results as will as the input needed to get results. 

 

I am here to help and to be a source of information for you. So welcome to the Gas Spring Technical Center, look around and make any suggestions you may have. I would love to hear from you.
