Conical Compression Springs

In stock In production

These Conical Compression Springs have a conical shape, with the diameter gradually expanding from the small to the larger end. This enables a smoother transition between different load levels, beginning with a gentler initial compression rate and increasing as the load is raised.

Furthermore, the conical shape provides for greater stress distribution, which minimises the chance of failure owing to localised stress concentration. It also has advantages over straight choices, such as lower solid height, higher load capacity, improved stability, and decreased buckling danger. Ideal for applications like automotive (suspension systems and engine mounts), medical devices, Industrial equipment, and electronics.

Gas Springs - Adjustable Force

In stock In production

These Gas Springs with Adjustable Force are a form of gas spring that allows the user to alter the force exerted by the gas spring after it has been installed. This is accomplished by varying the pressure of the gas inside the spring. When employed, theoretical forces are frequently discovered to be wrong because factors such as hinge friction and apparent speed of action influence computations. It can be modified to match individual preferences and adjusted while in use, saving you both time and effort.

When the gas springs are delivered, they are charged to their maximum force. It is simple to install and remove with the included equipment, and gas may be progressively released through the valve at the end of the tube to provide the force required for your application. Once confirmed, we can measure the force and offer fixed force gas springs to your specifications. Used in various industries, including automobile, furniture, medical equipment, and industrial machinery.

Gas Springs - Fixed Force

In stock In production

These Fixed Force Gas Springs give a steady force throughout their whole stroke. A pressurised gas, such as nitrogen or argon, fills the piston, when the gas spring is compressed, the gas pushes the piston outward, causing a force to be generated. They are completely self-contained, require no maintenance, and features compression spring qualities that, when combined with a minor change in force as it extends, allow a regulated rate of movement.

Furthermore oil damping occurs at the end of the extension stroke due to a hydraulically cushioned zone. Thanks to the damped end travel, these qualities safeguard hinges and make it simple to install and remove. Ideally suited for use on many applications such as access panels, lids, covers, guards, bonnets and hatch covers, automotive, medical devices, and industrial equipment.

Locking Gas Springs

In stock In production

Our range of Locking Gas Springs include Security (Safety) Locking Gas Struts, and Blocklift Locking Gas Struts. These springs are ideal for applications where the motion control adjustments require comfort and security, even when locked in position. They are commonly used in the medical field, laboratories, the automotive industry, as well as for furniture and industrial equipment when opening, closing, tilting or damping.

Security springs feature a shroud. They eliminate the need for separate safety rods in critical lift-assist operations. When extended fully, they positively lock – this protects the operator from risk of injury in the event of overload or misuse. The shroud should be actively pressed in order to release the lock and ensure safe operation. They provide a self-contained, maintenance-free offering and are supplied in pairs. The rod is manufactured from steel and the fittings are made from polyamide and steel.

Blocklift springs perform just like conventional gas struts, but they also include a special internal locking valve, which allows it to be locked in any position. This locking mechanism only allows the strut to move whilst the release pin, located on the end of the piston rod, is depressed. Typical applications for Blocklift include; height and angle adjustment of seats on aircraft, buses, trains and other specialist transport. They also provide controlled adjustment for hospital beds, physiotherapy tables and for wheelchairs, plus height risers on desks. Available in Carbon and Stainless Steel. Offers single-handed operation.

  • Safe and easy to use
  • Maintenance free
  • Self-contained unit.

Straight Compression Springs

In stock In production

Compression Springs are the most common spring type and have various general applications. The springs are open-coil helical springs coiled or built to resist compression along a wind axis. When a load is applied to the wire compression spring, it shortens, pushing against the load and attempting to return to its previous length. A compression spring is perfect for any application that requires a pushing or compressing force. Compression springs can be put over a rod or inside a hole. Flat ends on closed-end compression springs provide a sturdy spring.

Our Wire Compression Spring range includes a Carbon Steel - music wire option. The music wire is not advised for use where the temperature reaches 121 degrees Celsius. A Stainless Steel AISI 302 compression spring is also supplied. This option is not recommended for applications where temperatures surpass +260C. Due to cold working during production, the mechanical spring is slightly magnetic.

Our products can be found in the following applications/industries: furniture (chair or sofa cushion support), hand tools such as pliers, clamp fitness equipment, washing machines, refrigerators, and small-scale industrial equipment.
