Dampers can be used anywhere a lid or weight must be lowered or moved in a controlled motion at a constant speed. There are three types of dampers, extension, compression and dual. Extension Dampers provide controlled speed while the rod is being extended out of the tube. Compression Dampers provide a controlled speed while the rod is being compressed back into the tube. Dual Dampers provide controlled speed in both directions.
Traction Gas Springs compliments the existing offering by giving customers the ability to operate in traction rather than compression. Traction Springs are great for systems where a tensional load, similar to an extension spring, needs to be applied to hold a system open or hold a lid closed. The rod maintains a nitride surface that compliments the black painted body.
Please contact engineering for any assistance with these systems.
