The core pain point for B2B buyers is batch failure caused by mechanical fatigue and the resulting high after-sales repair costs. Our product has passed the official SGS full-stroke reciprocating cycle test.

50,000+
Reciprocating Cycles

Methodology

An appropriate force is applied to the piston rod to move it from the fully extended position to the fully compressed position. The force is then removed, allowing the rod to return to the fully extended position. This cycle is repeated 50,000 times.

Requirement

After the test, the sample shall not exhibit any damage, jamming, or functional loss.

Final Status

PASSED — No damage, no functional loss

Pass / Excellent

After 96 hours of Neutral Salt Spray exposure, the tested gas spring samples showed no visible red rust on the main cylinder or piston rod. Minor blistering observed on the end fittings (non-critical area). Protection Rating: 9/10.

Engineering Note

Standard configuration delivers 96-144 Hours NSS. Custom multi-layer QPQ and premium coatings are available to support up to 244+ Hours Salt Spray for heavy-duty manufacturing, marine environments, or industrial machinery applications.

Compliance Declaration

Minor surface blistering on standard zinc-plated non-working end-fittings is within acceptable IATF 16949 parameters and does not affect the pressure containment or mechanical integrity of the cylinder.
