Compression gas springs must be mounted with rod down and with a minimum inclination of 15°. If you have opted for traction gas springs, mount rod up.
Leave a clearance of 0.5 to 1mm between the end fittings of the gas spring and the mounting pin of the application, to allow the rotation of the end fitting on their pins during operation.
The end fittings should be screwed in to the stop without over tightening. If the lateral stresses cannot be eliminated, we recommend to use ball joints.
Check that the gas spring is not subject to lateral forces.
In case of particle projection and/or in dusty environments, the rod must be protected. We offer wiper seals or protection tubes available on our website www.bertholdmarx.com
