122 Issue7.2014 Specifications subject to change 122 IndustrialGasSpringsGS-8 toGS-70 (PushType) ACE industrial gassprings aremainte- nance-free and self-contained. They are avail- ablewithbody diameters from .31" up to2.76", and forces from2 lbs (10N) up to2,923 lbs (13,000N) ex. stock. ACEgasspringsoffer ahighservice lifewithawear-resistant coatingon thepiston rod.Alsoan inte- grated low frictionbearingwithgrease chamberwhichprovidesa very lowbreak away force (GS-19 toGS-40) . It allows them tobemounted in any orientation, although roddownwards is preferable if you want to take advantageof thebuilt-inend positiondamping. The valve allows the force tobe adjusted to your specific requirements. Awide variety of interchangeableend fittings makes installationeasy and versatile. ACEgas springs areuniversally applicablewherever you have lifting and lowering. They remove theneed for “musclepower” andprovide controlled motion for lids, hoods,machineguards etc. The freeACEselectionsoftware quickly specifies the correct gas spring for your individual application andwe candeliver, usuallywithin24hours. Function: ACE industrial gas springs provide amaintenance-free sealed for life system, being filledwithhighpressurenitrogengas. Theoil zone fillingprovides endpositiondamping and internal lubrication for a long lifetime. On theextension strokeof thegas spring, for examplewhen opening a car tailgate, thenitrogengas flows through themeteringori- fice in thepiston toprovide a controlledopening speed and theoil zone provides damping at the fully openposition to avoid impact damage. Thegas spring shouldbemounted “roddown” for this damping tobe effective. On closing the tailgate the gas springhelps support theweight. Themeteringorifice controls the extension and compression velocities of thegas spring. Operatingfluid: Nitrogengas andoil Operating temperature range: -4 °F to+176 °F On request: Without damping, different endpositiondamping, special force curves, special lengths, alternativeend fittings.
