Gas traction spring with controlled damping for maximum safety

The need for reliable gas traction springs with consistent damping is increasing, especially in applications where precision and safety are paramount. As a specialist in gas springs, Brimotech develops gas traction springs in various designs and materials, including fully stainless steel 316.

But what do you do when the standard solution does not suffice and you need a gas traction spring that performs stably in every position? We took up the challenge and created a pioneering solution to a common problem: controlled damping in the compression stroke, regardless of mounting direction.

Customer problem statement

Gas traction springs are widely used in industrial systems, but damping in the input stroke is usually limited and often depends on the installation position. Most manufacturers supply gas traction springs without damping, or only with limited damping at a specific position. This can lead to unstable movements or unexpected problems, especially when the gas traction spring needs to be mounted horizontally or inverted.

Brimotech was approached by a customer with exactly this problem: they needed gas traction spring that could provide stable, controlled damping regardless of the mounting direction.

Results: Gas traction spring with stable damping for every position

Thanks to our extensive patent on damping technology for gas traction springs, we were able to apply this technique to gas traction springs as well. The result was a Ø28/10 gas traction spring that, regardless of its position, provides full oil damping on the last part of the compression stroke. This solution meant that the customer was no longer dependent on the installation position for the desired damping.

Conclusion

Brimotech has proven that we can provide customised solutions to even the most complex issues surrounding gas traction springs. Our advanced damping technology allows us to produce gas pull springs that perform stably, regardless of mounting direction. This technology has already been successfully integrated in various applications and offers customers the certainty of reliable, controlled movements.
