Stabilus: the force behind perfect mobility
In the world of industry and automotive, there are components that, although often overlooked, are absolutely essential for proper functioning, safety, and ergonomics. One such component is the Stabilus gas spring .
Definition and operation
A gas spring is a device that stores energy in the form of compressed gas in a sealed cylinder.
Internally, it consists of:
- A cylinder: Contains the gas at high pressure.
- A piston with a rod: It moves inside the cylinder.
- Seals: They keep the gas confined and prevent leaks.
How does it work?
When a force is applied to the piston rod, it compresses, increasing the gas pressure inside the cylinder. When the force is released, the gas pressure pushes the piston rod out in a controlled manner.
Distinctive features of Stabilus gas springs
- Reliability: Manufactured to the highest standards, Stabilus springs guarantee consistent performance throughout their service life, even under extreme operating conditions.
- Force precision: They offer a very precise and constant extension or compression force, which is vital for the expected functionality.
- Controlled damping: The ability to control the speed of movement (extension or compression) is key to safety and ergonomics, preventing abrupt opening or closing. This is achieved through internal hydraulic systems and advanced piston designs.
- Variety: Disumtec offers a very wide range of gas springs, including:
For lifting and counterweighting. They are the most common in automotive and furniture manufacturing.
With a locking function in any position, they are ideal for adjusting seats or tables.
It is the perfect range to withstand heavy loads and adverse conditions in industrial applications and demanding environments.
The importance of proper assembly
When installing or assembling a gas spring, it is important to know how to do it, as any mistake can lead to future problems: personal injury, malfunction, property damage, and additional costs.
In general, gas springs should be installed with the shaft facing downwards. This ensures that the stem seal is properly lubricated, reducing nitrogen permeation and extending the spring's lifespan.
Personalization
Custom solutions can be manufactured upon request, adapting the strength, length, and connections of the springs to meet very specific design requirements. Contact us at disumtec.com to discuss your needs and provide the following measurements.
