Attention: Please
be certain to screw on the connecting parts.
1. Easylift gas springs will operate in surrounding
temperatures ranging from -22ºF (-30°C) to
176ºF (+80°C). We can equip our springs with
special seals to withstand temperatures as low as -49ºF
(-45°C) or as high as 428ºF (+220°C). Gas
springs should not be placed directly over heat or in
open fire!
2. Gas springs are filled with pure nitrogen, an inert,
non-poisonous gas that does not burn or explode. It
is important to read the instructions before opening,
however, because gas springs have a high internal pressure
of up to approximately 300 bars.
3. Disposal/Recycling: Gas springs are comprised mostly
of metal, and therefore are recyclable. As a precaution,
it is extremely important to first depressurize the
spring before recycling the metal.
4. All gas springs are labeled with the part number,
production date, and the warning, “Do not open,
high pressure”. We refuse any liability for any
damage that results from removed or unreadable labels
(e.g. due to influences of the surroundings).
5. Easylift gas springs can be used as a limit stop
in both directions, and the occurring forces present
should not exceed the following approximate values:
| Series |
Force |
| 6-15 |
4,000 N |
892 LB |
| 8-19 |
7,000 N |
1,561 LB |
| 8/10-22 |
7,000 N |
1,561 LB |
| 10/12/14-28 |
10,000 N |
2,230 LB |
| 14/20-40 |
20,000 N |
4,460 LB |
6. Gas springs should be installed with the piston
rod downwards, to ensure best damping quality. Only
Easylift gas springs include an integrated grease chamber
that allows different means of installation.
7. During functional use, gas springs should not be
exposed to tilting or to side forces. If this is unavoidable,
please check the installation and use suitable connecting
parts.
8. Easylift gas springs are maintenance free. Do not
grease or oil the piston rod.
9. It is important that the piston remains unpainted
and is protected against shocks, scratches, and dirt.
The cylinder needs to be protected from damage, because
any change in its shape would result in the destruction
of the sealing system.
10. Easylift gas springs can be stored in any position,
without loss of pressure. It is common that during the
first compression of a spring a sticking effect may
occur. This is an ordinary occurrence that simply requires
a higher expenditure of force, known as an initial breakaway
force.
11. Warranty claims expire one year after the date
of production. Manufacturing mistakes and/or quality
defects are immediately noticeable. If you are unsatisfied
for any reason with the delivered quality, please return
the springs immediately, and include your complaint
and a copy of the original invoice.
12. At Easylift our gas springs are primarily produced
using our expansive stock of parts. This allows production
of the gas springs according to your orders, yet prohibits
the possibility of cancellation, modification, changing,
or refusing your order.
13. Easylift gas springs are built and tested with
the highest standards of reliability in mind. In order
to assist you in the selection process, we are available
to advise you specifically and comprehensively. It is
essential to examine your purchase order to verify that
your order complies with your needs and specifications.
We cannot assume any liability for the function and
lifetime of your final product.
14. Within the limits specified, you are able to select
the best dimension. The tolerance for the installation
length is generally deemed to be +/- 2.5 mm (7/64"). In a series
production, a manufacturing tolerance of maximum +/-
1 mm (3/64") applies. If very high demands are placed on durability
and stability, please avoid the combination of low diameter
+ long stroke + high force.
