Advantages

5.1 Advantages of AVM Design

AVM's comparative analysis of the leading gas spring manufacturer's products leads us to the following conclusions:

AVM Gas Springs have a Superior Dynamic Sealing System
Superior sealing requires a superior seal and superior surface for the seal to contact. AVM's Multi-lobe seal provides a wide foot print to block the passage of gas out of the gas spring. The anti-extrusion Teflon washer/wiper provides stability to the seal. AVM's use of high strength steel tubing and proprietary micro--cracked chrome plating provides the superior wear surfaces resulting in excellent dynamic sealing.

AVM Gas Springs have a Superior Metering System
Our exclusive self-cleaning anti-rattle metering system permits metering through both the gas and the oil, and is not drastically altered by temperature variations.

AVM Gas Springs have Greater Structural Integrity
Our patented assembly and charging process allows the use of a more rugged design, which includes closer clearances and the use of metal bushings and pistons.

AVM Gas Springs have Suprior Corrosion Resistance
Our special paint process offers the best corrosion protection available.

AVM Gas Springs have Superior Temperature Resistance
All AVM internal gas spring components are designed to withstand 410°F. AVM gas springs cycle reliably at temperatures ranging from -40°F to 180°F.
