2. Gas spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_spring

   A gas spring consists of a sealed cylinder filled with a charge of high-pressure [5] gas, a piston rod attached to a piston with a sliding seal, and some oil. [1] The piston (or the cylinder wall) contains a number of channels that allow the gas to transfer between the lower chamber (between the piston and the closed end of the cylinder) and the upper chamber (between the piston and the head ...

3. Strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strut

   Transportation-related struts are used in "load bearing" applications ranging from both highway and off-road suspensions to automobile hood and hatch window supports to aircraft wing supports. The majority of struts feature a bearing, but only for the cases, when the strut mounts operate as steering pivots. For such struts, the bearing is the ...

4. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   The strut will usually carry both the coil spring, on which the body is suspended, and the shock absorber, which is usually in the form of a cartridge mounted within the strut (see coilover). The strut can also have the steering arm built into the lower outer portion. The whole assembly is very simple and can be pre-assembled into a unit.

5. Gas lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lift

   The gas-lift mandrel is a device installed in the tubing string of a gas-lift well onto which or into which a gas-lift valve is fitted. There are two common types of mandrels. In a conventional gas-lift mandrel, a gas-lift valve is installed as the tubing is placed in the well. Thus, to replace or repair the valve, the tubing string must be pulled.

6. Bracing (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracing_(aeronautics)

   Lift struts are sometimes combined with other functions, for example helping to support the engines as on the Westland IV or the undercarriage as on the Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer. [12] [13] Lift struts remain common on small (2/4-seat) high-wing light aircraft in the ultralight and light-sport categories.

7. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Unlike a shock absorber, a strut has a reinforced body and stem. Struts are subjected to multidirectional loads, while a shock absorber only damps vibration, only receiving a load along its axis. Struts and shock absorbers have a different way of attachment. Shock absorbers are mounted through rubber or urethane bushings to the frame and ...
