GAS SPRINGS

Gas Springs: Augmentation of Conventional Compression Springs!

Gas Spring is the most ideal solution to handle large forces in a limited space. It consists of 3 major components namely Cylinder, Bush & Piston Rod. The Nitrogen Gas is filled in the cylinder and the piston rod compresses the gas to exert force. Since Gas has a natural tendency to expand, the piston rod is set at a pre-defined (Force = Surface Area x Pressure)

The speciality of FIBRO Gas Springs:

  • Patented Safety Feature
  • PED Approved for 20 lakh full strokes
  • Piston Speed up to 2 m/s
  • Chrome 6 free offering better corrosion protection

Apart from adhering stipulated Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, some of the Gas Springs are equipped with additional features making them The Safer Choice.

FIBRO ADVANTAGE
SAFETY FEATURES

PED APPROVAL FOR 2 MILLION STROKES

FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE DIFFERENT

FIBRO gas springs are developed, manufactured and tested for a minimum of 2 million* full strokes in accordance with PED 2014/68/EU. The springs deliver this full performance at the maximum permissible limits in terms of filling pressure and operating temperature – even when combined with any of the various mounting types available.* Calculation value for durability

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU

  • PED approved for 2 million’ full strokes
  • Guaranteed safety and reliability for the entire service life of the spring

OVER STROKE PROTECTION

FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE DIFFERENT

In the event of an overstroke and depending on the spring type the patented protection system will ensure that either the cylinder wall of the gas spring is deformed in a predefined manner (A) or the piston rod destroys a rupture bolt in the floor of the cylinder (B), thereby allowing the gas to escape into the atmosphere.

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU

  • Safe working environment and reduced risk of damage to the tool

RETURN STROKE PROTECTION

FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE DIFFERENT

Special guides and a patented safety stop in the piston rods ensure your safety. If the speed is too high during the return stroke, the collar on the piston rod will automatically break. The integrated safety stop then destroys the seal, which allows the gas to escape into the atmosphere and the gas spring to become depressurised.

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU

  • Safe working environment and reduced risk of damage to the tool

OVER PRESSURE PROTECTION

FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE DIFFERENT

If the pressure rises above the maximum permitted value the safety dollar on the sealing set is automatically destroyed allowing the gas to escape into the atmosphere thus de-pressurizing the gas spring

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU

  • Safe working environment and reduced risk of damage to the tool

FIBRO ADVANTAGE
RELIABILITY FEATURES

FLEX GUIDE SOLUTION

The Flex GuideTM System is a flexible guide in the gas spring which absorbs lateral movements of the piston rod.

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU

  • Extended service life
  • Increased stroke frequency i.e more strokes per minute
  • Minimises friction and lowers the operating temperature

SAFE HOSE CONNECTION, THE DUAL SEALTM SYSTEM

The FIBRO dual sealTM metal seal with a soft elastomer seal ensure safe hose connection

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU

  • Leak-Tight Connections, even under Vibration
  • High process reliability
  • Minimized tool down time
  • Simple installation thanks to anti-rotation Function

WIRELESS PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (WPM)

Wireless pressure monitoring system monitors the pressure and temperature of FIBRO Gas Spring

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU

  • Wirelessly monitors the pressure and temperature of FIBRO Gas Spring
  • Quality Assurance
  • High Process Reliability
  • Minimized Tool Downtime
  • Reduced Maintenance & costs associated

PROTECTED PISTON RODS

Significantly longer service life for gas springs under harsh operating conditions

THE BENEFIT FOR YOU

  • Heavy Duty Protection, HDP Series:
  1. Double the lifetime of the gas spring
  2. Fits all standard gas springs & all mounting options without any modifications
  3. Prevents damage to the piston rod surface
  4. Protects the piston rods in gas springs against dirt, oil and emulsion.
