Industrial Gas Springs by ACE Controls
Manufacturer: ACE Controls
Industrial Gas Springs – Push Type
The smart way to lift and lower
Available with body diameters of 0.31“ to 2.76“ (8 to 70 mm) and forces from 2 to 2,925 lbs. (10 to 13,000 N), ACE push type gas springs offer a huge variety and maximum service life. The first is achieved thanks to the number of available connections and fittings for simple attachment and the latter with high quality design and materials. Whether they are made of steel or stainless steel, these components make any work easier and are also visually appealing.
Industrial Gas Springs – Pull Type
Alternatives for tight spaces and mounting requirements
If ACE gas push type springs cannot be used due to a lack of space, ACE's industrial gas pull type springs come into their own. These compact assistants with body diameters of 0.59“ to 1.57“ (15 to 40 mm) are effective in the direction of traction and work in the opposite way to the principle of gas push type springs.
This means that the gas pressure in the cylinder draws the piston rod in and, when closing a flap for example, supports the manual force required for a controlled motion. ACE's gas pull type springs are also self-contained, maintenance-free machine elements and equipped with a standard valve to individually regulate the gas pressure, whereby they cover forces between 7 to 1125 lb (30 and 5,000 N). The ability to mount in any orientation and position along with an extensive range of DIN standardized accessories enable universal use.
