There is no such thing as the perfect gas spring. The wide range of gas springs allows BIBUS to offer the best solution for every application. BIBUS works with the complete product range of the German company Bansbach. This allows BIBUS to always specify the right gas springs needed to optimise the performance of your application.
A unique aspect of the gas springs range consists of gas springs with dynamic damping. On this page, you will find more information about how these gas springs work, the advantages and various applications of gas springs with dynamic damping.
The functioning of gas springs with dynamic damping
Gas springs with full stroke damping have been specially developed to protect fragile products such as LCD screens, expensive 'high-tech' equipment, technical machinery and medical equipment.
Compared to standard gas springs that only have controlled oil damping at the end of the stroke, these gas springs allow damping over the full length of the stroke.
Benefits of gas springs with dynamic damping
Gas springs with dynamic damping are available in three different cylinder diameters: 15, 19 and 22 mm. Because the groove of the gas spring is designed according to the application, the damping characteristic always fully matches the requirements of the application.
These characteristics enable the following advantages of gas springs with dynamic damping:
- The end damping of the gas spring can be realised in any position. This is possible for both horizontal and vertical applications of the gas spring.
- In any position, the gas spring can offer controlled damping.
- Over the entire stroke, individual damping characteristics are possible.
Applications of gas springs with dynamic damping
Gas springs with dynamic damping are widely used in various industries thanks to their versatility and precision. The main areas of application are:
- Medical furniture industry: for smooth and safe adjustment of hospital beds, operating tables and other medical equipment.
- Mechanical engineering: for controlled opening and closing of heavy machine doors and covers, as well as for damping vibrations and shocks in machines.
- Special vehicles: for optimising the performance and safety of vehicles such as ambulances, fire engines and other specialised vehicles.
- Other sectors: numerous other sectors benefit from the specific damping characteristics, such as the high-tech industry, electronics industry and construction sector.
Configuring gas springs with dynamic damping
To design the right groove, we need detailed information about the application and desired function of the gas spring. In general, when the profile of the groove is larger, the speed of gas spring increases, while the force of damping decreases. For smaller profiles of the groove, the opposite is true.
The specialists at BIBUS will be happy to help you configure the right gas spring with dynamic damping for your application. Feel free to contact BIBUS for customised advice, 2D/3D files of the desired gas spring or a no-obligation quote.
