The Anti Buckle Sleeve overlaps the body of the Gas Spring, fitting snugly over it.  As you move the spring from an open to closed position the sleeve stays around the body helping prevent ingress of dust and dirt onto the rod and then the seals, something that could potentially cause your spring to fail.  It also serves to strengthen the spring against side loading and potential buckling.

Ideally use a Anti Buckle Sleeve if you application is:

• Likely to have side loads applied at any point. Commonly where a person could accidentally use the spring as a support, e.g. stairs.
• In an environment that has a high particulate count or is very dirty.
• Using very long thin springs.

These modifications can be added to any of our spring products but should be made at time of manufacture – so make sure you ask our technical team for more info.
