gas spring

Spanish translation: resorte neumático

English to Spanish translations [PRO]
Medical - Engineering: Industrial / Technical despcription
English term or phrase: gas spring
Again in a technical descriptio of an hospital bed:

"Leg rest adjustment activated by gas spring"

Coud it be "pistones a gas"? This was in parallel texts. I don´t know if this hydraulic or other mechanism. I would be really grateful if you could explain the difference if so to me.

Again, thank you!!!

Spanish translation:resorte neumático
Explanation:
"Un resorte neumático es un aparato autónomo capaz de anular pesos muy elevados. Consiste en un vástago telescópico que se mueve dentro de un cilindro, el cual contiene nitrógeno con una presión que depende de la fuerza que se desea mover, y es esta presión la que genera la fuerza del resorte"
