... acho que este resume bem o assunto ...
Acho que isto serve como resumo do resumo:
Harold Weber asked:
Gerald, last November you said you were planning to replace your gas spring with a coil spring. What is the reason for this? I looked up this thread with the thought that I'd like to try the gas spring, now I see you are changing???
I replied:
Harold, I think you misunderstood what I said at that time. Without looking for the exact post, I believed I tried to say that I might need a coil spring in the future as a backup, in case the gas spring didn't work out. I had been nervous about the gas spring from the start because it is not recommended for oscillating movement *. (Gas springs always seem to be used in fairly "static" applications, never dynamic). However, the results so far have been very good, and if this one loses its gas now, it will be replaced with another gas spring.
* Esta é outra coisa que ainda não vi explicitada nos catálogos ...
Yes, that is nearly correct. A gas spring pushes with a nearly constant force (quite a lot of 'stiction'/friction)
Isto é o que mais me aporrinha, essa história de "força constante" ... há muito tempo procuro informação sobre isto e não encontro nada que sustente o que o Gerald diz.
Aproveitando o próprio site mencionado no tópico [
www.easylift.com ], veja em
Home / Important advice / Force Diagram a curva força vs curso de uma mola gás. (Reproduzo abaixo o diagrama).
Não consigo ver com meus olhos cansados algo que justifique a assertiva.
No diagrama:
F1 = força de extensão com pistão extendido
F2 = força de extensão com pistão comprimido
F3 = força inicial (
pull-in ) com pistão extendido
F4 = força inicial (
pull-in ) com pistão comprimido
FR = força de atrito
