The custom piston rod is the part of the gas spring. In automobiles, it plays an essential role in supporting these gas springs; lifting and supporting various vehicle components - hoods, trunks, tailgates being the most common examples - is their primary purpose.

Gas spring rod advantages:

1、Gentle & Zoe Movement: custom gas spring rods offer precise, controlled movement. Smooth lifting and holding (of heavier elements such as a car hood or any form of spring) is the end result of this quality.

2、Adjustable Force: modifying the actual pressure within the gas spring is possible, custom gas spring rods providing that all round customized assistance required in many different automotive applications.

3、Compact Design: a near perfect compact and lightweight design allows the 45 steel piston rod to fit into the all too often limited internal spaces of a vehicle; functionality must not be compromised.

4、Long lasting: early replacements are less likely, extreme conditions can be endured by these gas spring rods.

5、Improved Safety: controlled movement as mentioned above, removes at least some of the 'suddenness' associated with heavy part lifting. Custom piston rods are a safer option in this regard.

Applications within the Automotive Industry

Custom piston rods find near infinite applications:

Hood Supports - the most well documented example.

Tailgate/Trunk Lifts (again, smooth operation is desired).

Seat Adjustments (smaller or more complexly designed seats can be lifted using gas springs).

Any and all interior features that benefit from a 'lift and hold' type of support.
