What is a Gas Spring?
Nitrogen Gas Spring Cylinders are used for high force in a compact space.
KALLER® Gas Springs uses compressed nitrogen gas contained in a cylinder and compressed by a piston rod to exert a force.
The benefits of Gas Springs compared to typical Mechanical Springs are:
- The ability to create higher force in less space.
- Immediate presence of force when stroked.
- Low force increase over the stroke.
- Easy to adjust the force by increasing or decreasing the amount of gas in the spring.
With the KALLER Force and Temperature Calculator under our "Calculators & Tools", you will be able to determine the force profile and operating temperature of the Gas Springs even before finishing the tool design.
KALLER Gas Springs are designed to meet customer expectations for reliability, safety, and service life, mainly in sheet metal forming applications. However, they are capable of handling numerous other applications where high force in a small area is required. The design, manufacturing, and testing of KALLER Gas Springs has been approved according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU).
