Main Type K:

Rigid locking in extension, relatively rigid in compression

Function:

Here the locking function takes place in an oil chamber which is separated from the gas using a floating piston. If a force is applied on the locked spring in extension direction, because there is only oil between the piston and the guide piece, the locking force remains rigid up to the mechanical strength of the spring. If a force is applied in the compression direction, the spring remains rigid until the force of the pressure on the floating piston is exceeded (locking force).

What is possible:

	Force:	40-2600 N
	Locking force in pull direction:	7.000 N - 10.000 N
	Stroke:	10-700 mm
	Diameter  Cylinder/piston rod:	6/15 – 14/40
	Push-out speed:	Normal Fast Slow
	Release travel:	Short release: release travel < 1 mm
	Connecting parts:	The piston rod is available with thread MF10x1x18, MF14x1,5x20 or with MF8x1x16. You can find the suitable cylinder connecting parts for your lockable gas springs here.
