More questions buyers ask
What is the purpose of a gas spring in a flexi arm tapping machine?
The gas spring acts as a counterbalance, allowing the operator to position the tapping head effortlessly and keeping it stable at any angle without drifting.
Is this gas spring compatible with all M3-M16 tapping machines?
It is designed for standard M3-M16 flexi arm tapping machines. Please verify your existing spring's force (350N) and stroke length (350mm) before ordering.
What material is the Pentagon gas spring made of?
It is constructed from high-grade stainless steel to resist corrosion from cutting fluids and coolants in industrial environments.
How do I know if my gas spring needs replacement?
Signs include the tapping arm drifting, difficulty in positioning the head, visible oil leaks, or rod pitting.
Does this product come with a warranty?
Yes, Pentagon provides a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
Can I install this gas spring myself?
Yes, it is designed for easy replacement using standard mounting brackets, but ensure you follow safety guidelines to avoid sudden pressure release.
What is the force rating of this gas spring?
This specific model provides a constant force of 350N.
Is GST invoice available for this purchase?
Yes, all purchases include a valid GST invoice for input tax credit claims.
Does it support pan-India delivery?
Yes, we offer reliable pan-India shipping for all industrial machine spares.
What is the stroke length of this gas spring?
This unit features a 350mm stroke length, suitable for standard flexi arm reach.
Who should choose the Pentagon M3-M16 Gas Spring?
This is ideal for machine shop owners and maintenance engineers looking for a durable, high-precision replacement for their flexi arm tapping machine counterbalance system.
How does the Pentagon gas spring compare to standard coil springs?
Unlike coil springs, this gas spring provides uniform resistance throughout the entire stroke, ensuring smoother operation and less operator fatigue.
