氣動(dòng)撐桿又稱氣彈簧，在背門(mén)上既承擔(dān)著開(kāi)閉時(shí)的助力且維持舉力不變的作用，又扮演著限位器的角色。在背門(mén)開(kāi)閉過(guò)程中，它通過(guò)密閉空腔內(nèi)液氣混合體的相互轉(zhuǎn)化來(lái)提供一個(gè)助力作用，同時(shí)舉力不變，使得背門(mén)可停留在任何位置；當(dāng)背門(mén)開(kāi)到大位置時(shí)，為了防止外板與頂蓋發(fā)生干涉，同時(shí)限制背門(mén)的大開(kāi)度，使得車(chē)門(mén)開(kāi)啟到大位置時(shí)停留在原地，不至自動(dòng)關(guān)閉，此時(shí)氣動(dòng)撐桿擔(dān)任了限位器的角色。
在氣動(dòng)撐桿的布置過(guò)程中必須注意的問(wèn)題有：
(1)安裝位置必須正確，不得倒裝；安裝點(diǎn)應(yīng)盡量靠近過(guò)重心的水平線，使后背門(mén)受力盡量合理(背門(mén)重力不變，靠近后力臂變小，力矩也跟著變小)；
(2)大小合理，有效行程在滿足使用要求情況下盡可能的小，以減小氣動(dòng)撐桿在背門(mén)上的布置空間；
(3)在背門(mén)開(kāi)閉過(guò)程中其不應(yīng)受到傾斜力或橫向力作用，且不得當(dāng)扶手用；
(4)為確保密封的可靠性，不得破壞活塞桿表面，嚴(yán)禁將油漆和化學(xué)物質(zhì)等涂在活塞桿上，也不允許將氣彈簧先安裝在所需位置，后噴、涂油漆；
(5)活塞桿嚴(yán)禁向左旋轉(zhuǎn)，如需要調(diào)整接頭方向，只能向右轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)(避免腔內(nèi)氣體流失)。這點(diǎn)在對(duì)氣動(dòng)撐桿的安裝時(shí)，極為重要；
(6)環(huán)境溫度一般為-35℃—60℃，在后背門(mén)安裝中，要避免和高溫物體(如各類電機(jī)等)的接近；
(7)連接點(diǎn)，應(yīng)轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)靈活，不能有卡阻現(xiàn)象，不允許發(fā)生干涉而對(duì)氣動(dòng)撐桿的筒臂造成擠壓。

Pneumatic rod is also called the gas spring, where the back door that can be opened and closed on the power and maintain force constant role, and played a limiter role. In the process of opening and closing the back door, which through the closed cavity liquid / gas mixture into each other to provide a power function, while ensuring the force constant, the back door can be stopped at any position; when the back door to the maximum position, in order to prevent the outer plate and the top cover interference, while at the same time limit back door maximum opening, the door is opened to the maximum position to stay in place, not to shut down automatically, the pneumatic rod is served as a retainer of the role.
In the pneumatic brace layout process must pay attention to the problem:
(1) Installation position must be correct, not flip; the installation point should be as close as possible to the center of gravity of the horizontal line through the back door, stress as reasonable as possible(the back door gravity constant, close to the rear arm becomes small, torque will follow the smaller);
(2) The size of a reasonable, effective stroke in meet the requirement for use case is as small as possible, to reduce aerodynamic bar in the back door arrangement space;
(3) In the back door open and close in the process should not be inclined or horizontal force, and may not be for the handrail;
(4) In order to ensure the sealing reliability, may damage the surface of the piston rod, is strictly prohibited to paint and chemicals on the piston rod, also do not allow the gas spring first installed at desired locations, spray, paint;
(5) The piston rod is strictly prohibited to rotate left, such as the need to adjust the joint direction, can only turn right(avoid intraluminal gas loss). This in the pneumatic support installation, extremely important;
(6) Ambient temperature is -35℃ - 60 ℃, the back door installation, and to avoid high temperature objects(such as various types of motor etc.)close;
(7) Connection point, should be flexible rotation, no blocking phenomenon, is not allowed to interfere in pneumatic rod cylinder arm caused extrusion.
