Description
The Gas Spring 600 N is a high-performance pneumatic assist device engineered to improve the motion control, balance, and ergonomics of flexible arm tapping machines designed for tapping sizes M6 through M36. Built with a robust sealed steel body and high-strength piston rod, this gas spring delivers a consistent 600 N force output that effectively counterbalances the weight of the tapping arm and attached tooling, making vertical and articulated motion smooth and effortless.
Advantages:
- High Load Support: 600 N force suitable for heavier arms/tools compared to lower-force springs.
- Smooth Motion: Offers controlled extension/retraction without jerks.
- Reduced Operator Effort: Helps make the arm feel nearly weightless.
- Improved Accuracy: Stable positioning reduces tapping errors.
- Durable & Low-Maintenance: Long service life with minimal upkeep.
- Versatile Mounting: Multiple end fittings (eye, balls, threads) for flexible integration.
Applications:
- Balancing and supporting the flexible arm of tapping machines (M6–M36) to enable weightless arm motion and positioning during tapping.
- Counterbalance heavy tool heads and machine arms in industrial equipment.
- Motion damping and controlled lifting in vertical and articulated mechanisms.
- Position holding in fixtures and workstations where repeatable movement control is needed.
- Use in automation assemblies, presses, jigs, and material handling rigs.
