149 Issue7.2014 Specifications subject to change 149 TractionGasSpringsGZ-15 toGZ-40 (Pull Type) ​ Industrial tractiongassprings aremain- tenance-free and ready to install. They are availableex-stockwithbody diameters from 0.59" to1.57" and forces from7 lbs to1,124 lbs (30N to5,000N) with valve. ACE traction gasspringsoffer a longservice lifedue to thehard-chromedpiston rodand integral slidingbearing. They canbe installed in any position. The traction force canbe subse- quently adjustedbymeans of the valve. The comprehensive rangeof fittingparts ensures easy installation andmakes the tractiongas springs universal inuse. They supply the muscle force andenable the controlled raising and loweringof covers, hoods, flaps etc.With the freeACE calculation service, the traction gas springs aredesignedwithmountingpoints to fit the individual application, and canbe deliveredex-stock as express deliverieswithin 24hours. Function: ACE industrial tractiongas springs aremaintenance-free, closed systems, which are filledwithpressurisednitrogengas. Compared to thepush type, ACE tractiongas springswork in the reverse way. Thepiston rod is retractedby thegas pressure in the cylinder. The surfaceof thepiston ringbe- tween thepiston rod and the inner tubedetermines the forceof the gas spring. Tractiongas springs are alwaysmountedwith the stroke fully compressed. Operatingfluid: Nitrogengas Mounting: In any position Operating temperature range: -4 °F to176 °F On request: Special force curves, special lengths, alternative seals and end fittings.
