LOW CONTACT FORCE SPRING

摘要

A fluid spring assembly (50). The spring assembly preferably includes a body (52) that slidably supports a piston (58) that is attached to a piston rod (64). The piston serves to define a fluid chamber within the body that is charged with a pressurized fluid medium. The piston is retained within the body by a rigid retainer member (90). A biasing member (84) is provided between the retaining member and the piston for resisting the force generated by the fluid medium within the fluid chamber.
