Commonly known as "hydraulic" in the market, also known as gas lift (GAS LIFT)
The air rod is a complex compression spring that uses the principle of aerodynamic force to store mechanical energy. The inlet surface of the cylinder contains high-pressure nitrogen. The gas pressure changes with the space to generate a pressure difference, which is used as the power for the expansion and contraction of the air rod.
When the air rod is under pressure, the piston will be pushed into the cylinder, thereby compressing the gas inside and storing potential energy in the form of increasing the pressure in the cylinder. When the external force is removed, the gas pressure in the cylinder will bring the piston back to its original position, and the stored pressure potential energy will be released in the form of thrust during the extension process.
Furniture using air rods may lead to insufficient durability or even safety for the following reasons:
1) The quality of the air rod is poor or insufficient
Generally, high-quality gas rods are made of steel , but most low-quality gas rods on the market may be electroplated from other materials, and their quality varies . IFCO and SPAZIO We have always adhered to strict international quality and selected high-quality commercial standard air rods . There are Taiwan , South Korea , Spain and Germany , You can definitely buy it with confidence and use it with confidence!
The SPAZIO deformation bed uses an air rod that is more convenient to install than other ordinary mechanical springs, safer to use, has low noise, is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and has cushioning. When the bed is opened, the bed frame will slowly lower to the ground, and when closed, it will not rebound quickly like a spring (easy to pinch hands), avoiding impact on the components in place, having a longer service life and greatly improving safety!
The air rod is the most important part of the computer chair. The height of the seat can be adjusted through the air rod. IFCO computer chairs all use Korean KGS, SHS ergonomic chair Class 3 or Class 4 highest quality air rods, such as Taiwanese brands Ergohuman, Vision and Rioli series. The products have passed the American ANSI/BIFMA x5.1 international certification safety test standard. German TÜV and SGS BS EN1335 European public furniture are strictly tested and certified, safe and reliable!
2) Using incorrect weight of air rod
Since the mattress and bed board must be held up at one time, if a high-supporting air rod is used, it will affect the opening and closing problem and make it difficult to close the bed . A waste of time and effort . On the other hand, using a low-pound air rod cannot support the weight of the mattress , and the bed board may cause the bed to press down rapidly, causing danger.
It is generally recommended to use one 4 feet 6 ft. hydraulic bed as an example, plus 8 The thickness of the mattress should match the weight of the mattress 250 pound air rod, single bed use 170 pound. For details, please consult an experienced salesperson first.
Air rod weight reference: 150 lbs , 250 lbs , 290lbs , 330 lbs , 380 lbs
3) The air rod is installed incorrectly or improperly.
Always pay attention and check whether the screws installed on the air rod , the metal movable frame are symmetrical and whether the structure is stable.
If the air rod is installed incorrectly or improperly , , the hydraulic bed may suddenly collapse due to insufficient strength, which may directly cause an accident , ranging from pinching hands to serious injuries or death. In the past, several accidents related to installation problems of hydraulic press air rods did occur in Hong Kong. As the saying goes, one accident is too many and should never be ignored!

4) Excessive use of the air rod will also cause aging
The air rod will inevitably wear out after being used for a long time. There are at least two to three sets of air rods and metal movable frames installed under the bed board. If there is a problem with one of them, it will usually be more difficult to open and close than usual, and the mattress cannot automatically be raised to the highest point. It lacks balance and support. .
To sum up all the above, the air rod must be installed securely and have sufficient supporting capacity. It is also important to install safety supports. Finally, I would like to remind you that you should regularly find a professional technician to check the condition of the air rod, and remember to repair and replace it when necessary!
