A gas damper is a component that uses gas pressure to provide damping and shock absorption in vehicles and machines. In tractors and agricultural machinery, gas dampers help absorb shocks and vibrations in seats, doors, hoods, and other movable parts, enhancing driver comfort and protecting equipment from excessive wear and tear.

There are different types of gas dampers, including standard gas dampers, lockable gas dampers, and adjustable gas dampers. Standard gas dampers provide general shock absorption, lockable gas dampers allow the position to be fixed (which is useful for seats and hoods), and adjustable gas dampers can be adapted to different weight and pressure requirements.

Selecting the right gas damper depends on the application (such as a door, hood, or seat), load capacity, and length. It is essential that the gas damper is properly sized to support the weight of the part it is intended for. Additionally, consider whether a lockable or adjustable damper is required based on specific operational needs.
