Calculation of gas springs

Wa and Wg must be in Newton (calculated as mass x 9.81) If two gas springs are used in the application, the value of P1 is divided by two

Useful information:

The pressure of the gas spring is dependent on the environment and temperature it is installed in.

When assembling the gas spring the cylinder must turn upwards, because the oil zone also helps to lubricate the seal around the piston rod.
