Once you have ordered and / or filled your gas springs, you can not exchange or be returned.

Usage:

The gas springs are designed for use with / with / in a temperature range of – 30 to + 80 degrees Celsius.

The extension force F1 is measured at + 20 degrees Celsius. A deviation of + / – 3.4% pressure increase / decrease applies per 10 degrees Celsius.
For tolerances on extension force and lengths, see our explanation page.

Gas springs must be able to work absolutely free of lateral forces, shocks and vibrations. The piston rods must also be kept free of damage and dirt.

A gas spring is not a security product, that is to say if gas springs are used at locations where, in the event of failure of the gas spring, danger and risk for persons and / or the environment can occur, extra protection must be provided.

A gas spring may not be used as an end stop. The gas springs may only be loaded with an additional force of 25% on top of the maximum extension or tensile force of the gas spring type.

The seals in gas springs are not suitable for assemblies where the piston rod makes a rotating movement.

Gas springs may only be used in the aerospace industry after written permission from T.Technics.

Gas springs must never be cleaned (immediately) with a steam cleaner or high-pressure spray gun. Aggressive cleaning agents are not permitted.

The vent hole at gas springs should be free at all times and should not and should not become clogged.

The piston rods should preferably be inserted downwards. Ask us for advice on deviating installation.
When using eyes, at least one axial clearance of 0.3 to 0.5 mm and a lateral clearance of 0.5 to 1.0 mm must be maintained.
With continuous use, a pressure loss of 15% may occur with an average of 30,000 strokes (calculated from a maximum of 500 mm). The number of full strokes may not exceed 5 strokes (calculated from a maximum of 500 mm) per minute at an in / out speed of up to 300 mm per second.

Changes:

We reserve the right to changes in material types / choices.

Inventory management:

At normal ambient temperatures, filled gas springs may be stored horizontally for a maximum of 3 months. With longer periods, the gas springs with the piston rod must be stored pointing downwards.

Warranty terms:

This amounts to 1 year or 30,000 strokes (whichever comes first) after the delivery date and / or production / ref. Number applied to the gas spring.
This data may not be removed and should remain legible under penalty of loss of warranty claims.
Any changes to the gas spring that have been made by us will result in a loss of guarantee.

Environmental protection:

The gas, nitrogen, used in the gas springs is a natural component of our ambient air. Any pressure loss is therefore completely harmless.
The other parts of the gas springs, except the used oil, are mainly made of steel, which can be recycled in the normal way. The oil must be disposed of in the normal legal way.

Scrap:

Gas springs are filled with a pressure between 10 and 250 bar and must first be de-aerated before scrapping.
Ask our advice for the right way.
