Features of Gas Springs
- 1. Space Saving
- Although these gas springs generate heavy loads and have long strokes, they are very compact. It is possible to generate a heavy load in a very small space.
- 2. High Initial Load
- An initial maximum load of 106,000 N (approx. 10.8t) can be obtained beginning from the first stroke. This is ideal for machining of high tensile steel sheet and thick plates.
- 3. A Wide Range of Strokes
- Due to the maximum stroke length of 300mm, these springs are suitable for difficult machining such as deep drawing.
- 4. Flat Load Characteristic
- Because the difference between the initial load and the maximum load is small, these springs are useful for machining of thin materials and for maintaining
the balance of the upper and lower dies.
- 5. No Need for Initial Deflection
- These gas springs can be fastened in place with bolts, so there is no need to install them with an initial deflection. This simplifies the assembly process.
Examples of Gas Spring Applications
Be sure to use guide pins, bushings and heel guides in order to avoid eccentric loads.
