New Die Storage Gas Springs from DADCO

DADCO’s new 90.10 DS Series is designed with a reduced rate of return, making it an ideal choice for die storage. These models are a direct replacement for traditional die storage components and do not need to be removed from the die before installation into the press. Offered in three sizes the 90.10DS.3000, 90.10DS.5000 and 90.10DS.7500 are directly interchangeable with ISO 3000-7500 models. Only a small portion of the 90.10 DS total stroke is engaged during each cycle. When compared to a standard gas spring used in die storage applications, the 90.10 DS returns at a moderated speed, ultimately resulting in lower operating temperature, reduced wear on the press components and long spring life. DADCO recommends using 90.10 DS cylinders in each corner of a die for equal balance distribution and separation.

A four-page, color bulletin introducing the new 90.10 DS Die Storage Gas Spring is available from DADCO. It contains ordering information and application data.

New! FCL Cushion Series from DADCO

DADCO is pleased to introduce a new line of cushion series nitrogen gas springs. The FCL Series is a mini-sized gas spring with a cushioned return during the last 2-4 mm of stroke to reduce both return force and the increase in force during travel.

The FCL Series is available in two models: FCL.503 and FCL.755. The diameter of FCL.503 is 44.5, with force-on-contact of 302 daN. The FCL.755 has a diameter of 50, with a force-on-contact of 471 daN. Both FCL models have stroke lengths up to 125 mm and are well-suited for die-driven cam applications.

A four-page, full-color bulletin containing ordering examples, operating specifications, and application examples is available from DADCO.
