What is the expected lifespan of a gas spring?
Providing the gas spring is properly installed, it will last for its expected lifespan. It is also important that there is not too much dirt between the cylinder and the piston rod. A gas spring can usually be operated around 40,000 times. In other words, its lifespan depends on how many times it is opened and closed. A gas spring for a kitchen cupboard will usually remain functional for around 3–5 years.
