What is important when installing a gas spring?

Proper installation of the gas spring helps to extend its service life.
Proper installation and use of gas springs are ly important for their service life and function.
The gas spring must be stored and installed with the piston facing down and at a 45-degree Angle to the horizontal plane.
This is important because the fitting will ensure that the internal seal cover will remain lubricated by the oil inside the gas spring.
If the gas spring is mounted horizontally or the piston is mounted upward, the oil will flow out of the gland, so improper installation can cause the gland to wear and leak.
For each fitting, you must ensure that there is no lateral deflection or other force that will affect the gas spring in any way, except that the free axial movement in the longitudinal direction of the gas spring does not burn, puncture, crush or crush the gas spring and that the cylinder surface is not welded.
Do not scratch, paint, or bend pistons Always install stainless steel gas springs where they are exposed to moisture or used in the food industry.
Please note that the oil in the gas spring is not approved for use in the food industry.
Therefore, do not install the gas spring directly on the production line, because the worn gas spring will leak oil. Do not allow the gas spring to vibrate. The gas spring is designed to perform no more than 5 strokes per minute at 20°C.
If this value is exceeded, heat will accumulate inside the gas spring, which may cause the seal cap to leak.
The gas spring is designed to maintain 30,000 movements when properly installed. It is recommended to always use physical stops in the building.
This will ensure that the gas spring does not use more load than it is designed to carry.
The motion of the gas spring is damped only in the last section of the fully extended piston.
The gas spring will lose pressure slightly over time compared to the original pressure at the time of installation.
Pressure losses of up to 10% are expected.
