ACE - Controls International

These ACE products are self-contained systems, filled with pressurized nitrogen. The filling tolerance is between -20 N and +40 N. The gas spring consistently works in a temperature range from -20°C to +80°C. Hydraulic oil is used for the end damping. On the extension stroke of the gas spring, the nitrogen gas flows through the metering orifice in the piston to provide a defined feed speed.

In operation the gas spring acts against the weight force of the lid.

When the flap is opened, the nitrogen gas flows through the orifice in the piston and supports the force of the hand. The oil filling provides a gentle damping to rest for the end position. The metering orifice controls the extension and compression velocities. The gas spring can be mounted in any position. We recommend, however, mounting it rod down to use the end position damping. The force can be adjusted by means of an integral valve.
Many interchangeable parts are available for an easy mounting and installation.

1.	Return valve for a fast pressurization ex stock, fine adjustment during assembly and refill upon construction changes
2.	Powder coated body for an appealing look and excellent surface protection
3.	Piston rod with hard ceramic coating and a special friction bearing for exceptionally long service life with low break-away torque
4.	With threaded connections at both ends the Gas Spring range is ideally suited to the large range of mounting accessories available, making installation particularly easy.
