DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CHECKING STATE OF CHARGE OF GAS SPRING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for checking the state of charge of a gas spring.SOLUTION: The device for checking the state of charge of a gas spring (100) comprises: a supporting structure (2) equipped with connecting means (3) adapted to be reversibly connected to the gas spring (100); a plunger (4) which is slidably received, at least partially, in the supporting structure and has a first end (4b) adapted to interact with a charging valve of the gas spring in conditions of use and has a second end having an abutment surface (4d); pushing means (6) operating on the abutment surface (4d) of the plunger (4) to apply a measured thrust on the plunger (4) so as to induce the displacement of the plunger (4); and a position indicator (5) operatively associated with the plunger (4) and configured to represent the position of the plunger relative to a reference element (7).
