OSAS benefits

Controlled and complete release of internal pressure when the cylinder is compressed beyond its nominal stroke

 

Reduces the risk of damage and hazards from projecting parts

 

Automatically activates without operator intervention

 

No additional cost to the gas spring

 

Series: RV – RS – RF – RG – RT – S – SC – H – HF – HT – LS

OSAS consists of a safety element at the cylinder base with a controlled deformation zone.

 

Series: ML – MP – MQ

OSAS is a combination of a deformable body area and discharge grooves on the internal body surface.

Series: KE

OSAS is implemented with discharge grooves on the internal body surface.

 

USAS – Uncontrolled Speed Active Safety

USAS is an exclusive Special Springs safety solution for controlled and complete pressure release, without projecting parts, when the gas spring undergoes an uncontrolled rod return. Typically, this occurs when mold plates or stamped parts, gripped or jammed under pressure, are suddenly released.

USAS Advantages

Controlled and complete cylinder pressure release during uncontrolled rod returns

 

Reduces the risk of damage and hazards from projecting parts

 

Automatically activates without operator intervention

 

No additional cost to the gas spring

 

Series: RV – RS – RF – RG – RT – S – SC – H – HF – HT – LS

USAS is the combination of a deformable bushing and discharge grooves on the internal body surface.

 

Series: ML – MP – MQ

USAS is the combination of a deformable bottom plug and discharge grooves on the internal body surface.

Series: KE

USAS combines a deformable bushing and discharge grooves on the internal body surface.

OPAS – Over Pressure Active Safety

OPAS is an exclusive Special Springs safety solution for controlled and complete pressure release when maximum allowable pressure is exceeded. This typically happens when contaminants reduce the gas chamber volume during stamping.

 

OPAS Advantages

Controlled and complete pressure release when maximum allowable pressure is exceeded

Reduces the risk of damage and hazards from projecting parts

Automatically activates without operator intervention

No additional cost to the gas spring

 

OPAS

OPAS is a safety device located at the gas spring base, featuring a controlled deformation zone.
