High-Temperature Gas Springs for Smoke Hatch

In the demanding world of industrial manufacturing, standard components often fall short when faced with extreme environments. At JPGASSPRING.COM, we specialize in bridging that gap through precision engineering and custom-tailored solutions.

Today, we are sharing a success story involving industrial smoke hatch systems, highlighting how specialized material selection and engineering expertise can safeguard a project’s timeline and performance.
Smoke Hatch Gas Spring


The Challenge: When Standard Components Fail in High Heat

Our client, faced a critical technical hurdle in the production of their industrial smoke hatches. The equipment’s flip-top covers required reliable gas springs to operate efficiently; however, the working environment presented two significant obstacles:

  1. Extreme Temperatures: Standard nitrile rubber (NBR) seals, common in most gas springs, could not withstand the high-temperature conditions, leading to rapid seal failure and loss of pressure.

  2. Strict Compatibility Requirements: The client required a variety of force values ranging from 300N to 1100N. Furthermore, the end fittings had to perfectly match their existing samples to avoid costly modifications to the hatch’s installation structure.

Failure to find a solution would have stalled a 600-unit production order, leading to project delays and potential revenue loss.


The Solution: Precision Customization by JPGASSPRING

After a thorough consultation and technical review, our engineering team developed a bespoke gas spring solution designed specifically for high-heat industrial applications.

Key Technical Specifications

  • High-Temperature Resistance: We replaced standard components with aluminum alloy seals and corrosion-resistant metal materials capable of enduring extreme heat without compromising the airtight seal.
  • Optimized Stability: For the high-force 1000N variant, our engineers increased the rod/tube diameter from 8/18mm to 10/22mm to ensure structural stability under heavy loads.
  • Seamless Integration: We utilized M8 ball joint fittings and matched all physical dimensions to the client's original samples, ensuring "plug-and-play" compatibility with their existing hatch designs.
  • Versatile Force Range: We delivered seven distinct force ratings: 300N, 400N, 500N, 600N, 900N, 1000N, and 1100N.
