At Brimotech, we are dedicated to providing solutions tailored to the specific needs of our customers. A client in the window and door systems industry approached us with a request for a steel gas spring equipped with an integrated valve for precise force adjustment after installation. This project resulted in an ingenious solution that significantly enhances the way gas springs are adjusted and fine-tuned.
Customer challenge
The client manufactures large sliding windows that rely on gas springs to compensate for the weight of the window. For this application, the gas springs required a stroke length of 400 to 600 mm, minimal progression, and the ability to precisely adjust the force after installation. Traditional gas springs with external valves, positioned at a right angle to the spring and often difficult to access, did not meet these requirements.
Approach and outcome
Brimotech addressed this challenge by developing an eyelet with an integrated valve, ensuring the valve is always perfectly accessible. The valve is positioned at a 90° angle to the eyelet, making it easier to adjust the force of the gas spring precisely. Additionally, the new design allows for gas to be added or released, enabling full customization of the gas spring’s force to suit the specific application. This solution provides maximum flexibility and ensures more efficient performance in practice, making this custom-made gas spring stand out from competitors.
Conclusion
At Brimotech, we strongly believe in the value of customization and customer-focused solutions. By equipping our gas springs with integrated valves, we deliver not only a technically advanced product but also the flexibility customers need to optimize their systems.
