Everything you need to know about gas springs: part 2
Published on: 08.12.2020
Different types
In the second part of our series ‘Everything you need to know about gas springs’ you will learn all about the different types. These differ in their construction and, as a result, also in their size and initial force. In addition, the safety features of the gas springs are designed differently depending on the type.
The purpose of the safety features is to protect the user and ensure that the use of a gas spring does not result in dangerous situations for the machine operator.
Over Stroke Active Safety
This safety feature enables automated, controlled and full pressure release in the case of overstroke. This minimises the risk of separation and ejection of pressurised parts. The pressure release is made through the provided discontinuity grooves on the body or the rupture protection elements in the bottom plate.

Over Stroke Marker
Shows that the OSAS overstroke protection has been activated.
Enables you to directly eliminate the cause of overstroke in the die.
Does not restrict the free positioning of the gas spring.
Uncontrolled Speed Active Safety
Enables controlled and full pressure exhaust in the case of an uncontrolled piston return. Minimises the risk of separation and ejection of pressurised parts. The pressure release is made through the provided discontinuity grooves on the body or piston rod.
