Industrial Gas Springs – Push Type
GS-12-60

Individual stroke length and extension forces

Valve Technology
Extension force max. 40 lbs
Stroke 2.36 inch

Universal and tailor made: ACE industrial gas springs offer perfect support of muscle power with forces from 2 to 2,923 lbs. (10 to 13,000 N) with body diameter of 0.31"" to 2.76"" (8 to 70 mm). These durable and sealed systems are ready for installation, maintenance-free and filled with pressurized nitrogen gas.

They are filled according to individual customer pressure requirements and may be adjusted later by use of a built-in valve. ACE provides free calculation support and designs the gas springs with mounting points specifically for the particular application. A variety of accessories makes assembly even easier and allows universal application of the gas springs.

Material Outer body: Coated steel; Piston rod: Stainless steel (1.4301/1.4305, AISI 304/303); End fittings: Zinc plated steel

Operating fluid Nitrogen gas and oil

Mounting We recommend mounting with piston rod downwards to take advantage of the built-in end position damping.

End position damping length approx. 0.39"""" (depending on the stroke)

Positive stop External positive stop at the end of stroke provided by the customer.

Note

Increased break-away force if unit has not moved for some time.

End fittings

They are interchangeable and if necessary must be positively secured by the customer to prevent unscrewing.

Safety information

Gas pressure springs should not be installed under pre-tension.

On request

Special oils and other special options. Alternative accessories. Different end position damping and extension speed.
