gas spring design
gas spring design
(OP)
i have done some searching online and can't find what i'm looking for.
i'm not entirely sure that it is possible but thought i'd pose the question anyway (out of curiosity)
a gas spring (doesn't matter if its push or pull type) with a hole in the middle - by which i mean so that it would fit around a cylinder, this might mean that it has to be longer than normal to be able to absorb the same amount of energy.
any help/comments welcome.

desertfox - i am that bad at drawing it would just serve to confuse you more.
a gas spring something like this (attached file) with the cylinder going through the middle of the gas spring.
