WHAT IS A GAS STRUT?<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Despite the fact that we already know that several exist types of shock absorbers<\/a>,<\/span> the hydraulics<\/a> and the gas ones<\/strong> they are the most distinguished.<\/span><\/p>

As you already know from our post about <\/span>What is a shock absorber and what is it used for<\/span>, These springs are responsible for absorbing the impact from the pavement and transforming it into heat, thus warming the fluid, whether it's air (in hydraulic shock absorbers) or nitrogen (in gas shock absorbers).<\/span><\/p>

In our August post, we told you about the <\/span>hydraulic shock absorbers,<\/span> this month we want to delve a little deeper into the <\/span>gas springs<\/b><\/span>, what they are and what their characteristics are so that you can correctly understand how they differ from hydraulic systems.<\/span><\/p>

The paradox of gas struts is that they are also hydraulic. However, unlike hydraulic struts, gas struts come charged with pressurized nitrogen gas, so instead of air being in the chambers when the oil leaks out, nitrogen gas is in them.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
