Typical Applications：

The Power Line Series includes our shortest and most powerful Piston Rod Sealed gas springs, offering impressive force in a very compact format.

The Power Line springs are available with forces from 1,700 N up to 200,000 N and stroke lengths between 7 and 125 mm. There is a bottom port for gas charging that can also be used to connect to a gas link system. The upper ISO Standard C-groove and the threaded bottom hole offers various mounting possibilities using our standard mounts.

FAQs

1. How to select the appropriate air spring model?

Core 3 steps:

① Computing power (actual demand + 15%-20% safety margin);

② Selecting stroke (working stroke + 5-10mm margin, no overpressure limit);

③ Selecting boost ratio (simple process 1.2-1.4, deep forming 1.5-2.0), and it can be selected based on installation space and working conditions. 

2. Working Principle of Nitrogen Springs

Using high-purity and high-pressure nitrogen gas as the energy storage medium, the compression during mold closing and the expansion and rebound during mold opening achieve compact structure and strong elasticity. It replaces traditional springs and simplifies the mold structure.

3. Force and Travel Curve Explanation

The initial force (F₁) is the full extension base elasticity, and the terminal force (F₂) is the maximum elasticity within the rated stroke. The pressure ratio K = F₂/F₁. The greater the stroke, the steadily increasing elasticity, which is suitable for various stamping processes. 

4. Installation Options

Four standard models, covering all scenarios:

① Bottom installation (common and mainstream, simple and convenient);

② Flange installation (for heavy loads, stable and shock-resistant);

③ Slot embedding (convenient for space-saving and quick assembly/disassembly);
