T & STECHNIKSYSTEMGas Spring Sizing InformationMatching different suppliers gas springs:If you have an existing gas spring, you will require the following dimensions to simplify the selection ofan equivalent gas spring:• The rod and tube diameters• The stroke length (from the shoulder of thread or end connector to the tube)• The extended length from the centre of the end connectors, or stud end shouldersif no end connectors are used• The type of end connectors used• The nominal force of the gas springThe first Dimension to take is the Rod/Tube Diameter, this signifies which size springyou need to look at i.e. size 6-15, 8-18, 10-23 and 14-28.Then you need to first carify the extended length of the gas spring. (Depending on theapplication this is important). Secondly, you need to clarify the closed length if possibleto check/match to the closest available stroke lengthThe approximate weight of the lid to be lifted in kg‘s. (See table below). This helps toconfirm that you are using an appropriate size gas spring.Gas SpringSizeApproximateLid Weight (kg)Force Rangein Newton‘s6/15 to 10 50 - 4008/18 10 - 40 100 - 65010/23 40 - 150 150 - 120014/28 150 - 350 200 - 2500Notes:Gas Springs are charged with nitrogen at very high pressures and under no circumstances should they be openedor subjected to excessive loads.Gas Springs must not be exposed to bending forces, tensile forces or side loads. Where possible we recommendthe use of ball joints as this will assist in reducing the impact of any misalignment. If you have to use eye connectorsremember to support the eye on both sides and allow some float.Where possible protect the piston rod from impact, damages, scratches, dirt or contamination such as paint oradhesives. Protective plain shrouds are available .

T & STECHNIKSYSTEMFrequently Asked QuestionsShould a Gas Spring be mounted “Rod up” oder “Rod down”“Rod down” is the preferred orientation for mounting a Gas Spring.An optimum design would permit the support to be oriented rod down trough its entire actuation. There are severalreasons for this: In order to achieve the damping “cushion” at the end of the Gas Spring’s stroke, the piston assemblyinside of the Gas Spring must travel through oil at the end of the stroke. “Rod down” orientation ensures that theoil is in the proper location for full damping occur. “Rod down” orientation ensures that the rod and sealing componentsare lubricated with every stroke of the Gas spring. This reduces seal wear and helps to inhibit corrosion.What type of end connectors can be used when mounting a Gas Spring or Damper?When choosing an end connector, the designer must take into account both tensile and compressive loading toensure adequate strength and wear. We provide a wide range of end connectors including nylon, zinc, steel andstainless steel.The most common connector involves a ball and socket joint. While this joint is available in many forms, they allallow rotation about the mounting point, which helps to reduce/minimise side loading on the Gas Spring or Damper.This is important because side loading can reduce the life of the product. Side load may be caused by slightmisalignment or twisting in the application.The design engineer should also be concerned with the clearance around the mounting point. There should beenough room to easily mount and remove the unit from the application.How does the temperature affect the life and performance of a Gas Spring or Damper?As the temperature of the Gas Spring changes, the internal pressure changes according to the relationshipP1/T1 = P2/T2. Therefore, as the temperature increases, so does the internal pressure. As the internalpressure increases, so does the output force. For every 10°C (18°F) change in temperature, the output forcechanges 3,5 percent.Very high or very low temperatures can adversely affect the Gas Spring’s ability to retain its gas charge. At veryhigh temperatures, the permeability of rubber increases and the gas molecules may diffuse through the seal morequickly. Additionally, rubber compounds may begin to soften at elevated temperatures and lose their ability to sealproperly. At very low temperatures, rubber compunds may stiffen and also lose their ability to seal properly. Ourseal design and rubber compound helps to minimize problems at temperatures extremes. This allows to performreliably at temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176°F).What is the expected life of a Gas Spring?When estimating the life of a Gas Spring, one must first determine how much force the support can lose before theapplication becomes unacceptable. The time it takes to lose this amount of force is considered to be the life of thesupport.All Gas Springs lose output force over time. The rate at which force loss occurs varies greatly between applicationand manufacturer. Many factors affect the rate of force loss, such as: size of the support, orientation, amount ofcycles, ambient temperature, vibration and the geometry of the application and time (cycle time). Considering all ofthe variables, it is very difficult to estimate life accurately without actual testing on the application.It is recommended that the Gas Springs be periodically checked to ensure that they are functioning as intended.This inspection should be implemented as part of a planned maintenance activity, if possible.4T&S Systemtechnik GmbH Am Hintergraben 26 D- 64319 Pfungstadt Telefon +49 6157-8087-0 Fax +49 6157-8087-188 sales@ts-systemtechnik.de

T & STECHNIKSYSTEMFrequently Asked QuestionsHow can a designer ensure the longest life for a Gas spring in application?Orient the support “Rod down”. As explained above, this will continually lubricate the seal and rod and reducepermeation through the seal.Utilize the largest gas volume possible in the support. In general use the minimum stroke required with the largestbody possible. In a support with a large gas volume, small gas losses are imperceptible in the output force.The temperature of the Gas Spring should remain well within the temperature limits.If temperatures extremes will be encountered, it should be for a short duration and the support should not be cycledwhile at the extremes.Utilize the highest force Gas Spring possible that still provides acceptable handling loads for the application.This will allow for some force loss without the loss of function of the application. Avoid side load, vibration,contamination, and damage to the rod.Provide multiple mounting locations so that the support can be moved to accommodate for force loss as thesupport ages.For further information or quiestions please feel free to contact us.

BlockliftT & STECHNIKSYSTEMProduct description / technical dataBLOCKLIFTBLOCKLIFT gas springs can be stopped at any position during operation.They are fitted with a special locking valve that will only allow the springto be moved when a release pin is pressed.Blocklifts are excellent way of moving an application to any position atthe discretion of the operator, the blocklifts will also allow a load to beapplied to the application while it is locked in any of the infinite lockedpositions.Our range of BLOCKLIFT gas springs work like conventional gas springswith the addition of an internal locking mechanism that can be stoppedimmediately in any position. This locking mechanism only allows thespring to move while the release pin, located on either the end of thepiston rod or tube end, is activated.Adjustable Blocklifts are commonly used for; back rest adjustment ofpassenger seats on buses, trains and office chairs, adjusting hospitalbeds, massage tables and wheelchairs and height adjustment ontables, desktops and school desks.PistonNozzleThe arrow shows theTransfer of relevant Medium(oil or gas) throughthe valveValve in closed position Valve in opened positionRelease LeverTube22T&S Systemtechnik GmbH Am Hintergraben 26 D- 64319 Pfungstadt Telefon +49 6157-8087-0 Fax +49 6157-8087-188 sales@ts-systemtechnik.de

Once the loadis released, the piston rod automaticallyreturns to the initialposition. These springs canbe mounted in any position.BL2 – RIGID IN COMPRESSIONThis gas spring provides totalrigidness in compression, butwill permit a few millimetres ofmovement in extension. Oncethe load is released, the pistonrod automatically returns to theinitial position. These springscan be mounted in anyposition.BL3 – SPRING BLOCKINGThis gas spring is ideal for applications wheresome comfort (cushioning or elasticity) is neededeven when the Blocklift is locked. The BL3can also be modified to be rigid in extension,providing a shorter stroke than a standardBL1; or rigid in compression, providing a shorterstroke than a standard BL2.BL4 – RIGID IN EXTENSION &COMPRESSIONThe BL4 is totally rigid in bothextension and compression.It is available with or withoutan extension force, dependingon whether you needthe gas spring to control theapplication or if the applicationis controlled by an externalmechanism.BL5 – M-BLOCKLIFTThe BL5 is a compact andresponsive gas spring with afast extension speed and isideal for height adjustmentapplications, such as tablesand desks, etc. as it providesrelative rigidity in compressionand can be mountedeither rod up or down.BL6 – RIGID IN EXTENSION- NOT LOCKABLE IN COMPRESSIONThe BL6 gas spring is lockable and rigid inextension but is not lockable in compression. Thisgas spring is ideal if you need to control an applicationin extension (push out). The gas spring will freelycompress (push in) when an external load is appliedbut will only extend when the release pin is activated.BL7 – RIGID IN COMPRESSION– NOT LOCKABLE IN EXTENSIONThe BL7 works in the oppositewayto the BL6. This gasspring is lockable in compression(push in) by tivating therelease pin but works freely inextension when the appliedexternal load is removed.BL8 – GAS TRACTION BLOCKLIFTThe principle of the BL8 is theopposite of standard gassprings. While a standard gasspring is always extending, heBL8 is designed to close andcan be locked in any position.T-BLOCKLIFTThe release pin on standard Blocklift gas springsis located on the piston rod. T-Blocklift gas springshave the release pin located on the tube end.This design allows shorter extended lengthscompared to standard Blocklifts and is availablerigid in compression and spring blocking.T&S Systemtechnik GmbH Am Hintergraben 26 D- 64319 Pfungstadt Telefon +49 6157-8087-0 Fax +49 6157-8087-188 sales@ts-systemtechnik.de23
