M-Struts Mechanical Springs vs. Gas Springs

Why are m-Struts mechanical springs designed to replace conventional gas springs in demanding applications?

They have a long useful life and maintain constant loads over time.
Their stainless steel structure makes them resistant to corrosion.
Since they contain no gases or seals, there are no hazardous materials to worry about.
Its design is resistant.
They are available with different lashing configurations.
They can work at temperatures ranging from -40ºC to 300ºC.

The substitution of gas springs for mechanical springs has been carried out successfully in projects ranging from covers and inspection or sewage manholes, to applications with refrigerated vehicles where low maintenance, constant loads and resistance to low temperatures are especially important. important.

In addition, they have been used successfully, without failure, in refrigeration, desert, mining, utility and subsea applications around the world. The standard 304 stainless steel outer tube and end cap configuration, combined with a precipitation hardened stainless steel spring, offers excellent resistance to most harmful agents, including hydrogen sulfide gas.

But what types of m-Struts mechanical springs are there? Next, we explain them to you.

Self Centering Mechanical Springs

Self-centering mechanical dampers are suitable for central applications. They provide a balanced force for reciprocating axis movement. They generate increasing linear loads in both directions, from a neutral or centered position, with an unlimited speed of return to the neutral or centered position. System and application balancing ultimately control the rate of return, both in compression and extension.

Compact Mechanical Springs

The compact mechanical dampers are available with a black nitrided or stainless steel finish, making them resistant to corrosion. Their similarities and differences compared to the conventional ones are:

Same properties and mooring options as conventional ones.
Smaller body, making them ideal in tight spaces.
The steel type is cheaper.
Its design is resistant.

Mechanical Extension Springs

Mechanical extension dampers are suitable for lowering ramps or drop-down gates. They have excellent counterbalancing capacity and can easily replace conventional gas springs to better serve the most demanding applications, without maintenance.

Standard Mechanical Springs

Standard mechanical springs, with coil springs, provide an increasing linear load during compression, as well as a quick return to the original extended position.
