Assembly, inspection equipment and protective packing, photographed in our factory in Baodi Development Zone, Tianjin, China. We manufacture the gas springs we sell and supply them factory-direct. More about our gas spring factory.
ASSEMBLY
From components to finished assemblies.
Press operation and finished gas springs are shown below. The body, rod and end fittings form the assembly identified in the product specification.
MEASUREMENT & TESTING
Force measurement and test equipment.
Force measurement, repeated-movement testing and chamber testing look at different characteristics of a gas spring. These photographs show the equipment and samples.
PACKAGING
Protect the part through packing and handling.
Individual wrapping, labeled bags and separation inside cartons protect exposed surfaces and help identify similar-looking variants in a mixed order.
THE PRODUCT DETAILS BEHIND THE CHECKS
Four details that define the supplied assembly.
End connections
Fitting type, thread or mounting size and connection orientation at both ends, checked against the assembly drawing.
Force & movement
Force at the specified position, full travel and smooth movement. Lockable assemblies also need the agreed holding and release function.
Finished condition
Rod, cylinder finish and end fittings checked for damage or marks, with fitted components matched to the ordered configuration.
Packing & identification
Part reference, item and carton quantities, and protection for the spring and separately packed fittings.
PROCESS PHOTOGRAPHS
More of the product journey.
Handling & identification
Handling bins separate gas spring variants between stages. Identification and surface protection help distinguish parts that look similar but have different specifications.
Storage & dispatch
Packed cartons are shown ready for dispatch. The packing list and carton identification should correspond to the ordered items, quantities and agreed delivery details.

Agree the inspection coverage before ordering
- Incoming materials and component identification.
- Dimensions, threads and both end fittings against the approved drawing.
- Force measurement and the applicable movement or damping checks.
- Appearance and the agreed material or surface-finish checks.
- Product identification, quantities and final protective packing.
Agree inspection items and acceptance limits with the quotation, so checks relate to the product revision being supplied.
