Abstract
The function of gas springs is based on the compression of a gas. They are used in a wide variety of industries, and demand for them is increasing. Gas springs can be divided into compression and extension springs. Extension springs have not been studied much in relation to control of the piston speed, unlike compression springs. In this study, the magnitude of the piston rebound pressure was theoretically predicted by calculating the pressure loss in a double-cylinder extension gas spring. Numerical simulations of the piston behavior were carried out for small and large amounts of friction between the piston and the cylinder. FLUENT was used for the simulation with a 6-DOF model and UDF to simulate the behavior of the piston. The calculation regions of the front and rear of the piston were separated, and different types of grids were generated in the regions to implement a dynamic mesh using only a layering method. The results show that the piston returns with the target speed in both cases. However, the patterns of the piston behavior reaching the final speed are different.
