Particularly when it comes to our gas springs. With their unique range of safety features, FIBRO gas springs are one of the safest on the market. FIBRO safety features 1) PED approval for 2 million strokes FIBRO gas springs are developed, manufactured and tested for a minimum of 2 million* full strokes in accordance with PED 2014/68/EU. The springs deliver this full performance at the maximum permissible limits in terms of filling pressure and operating temperature – even when combined with any of the various mounting types available. * Calculation value for durability The benefit for you: ▶ Guaranteed safety and reliability for the entire service life of the spring Repair kits and qualified training sessions available through FIBRO Service offer increased effectiveness and process reliability. Manuals All current operating instructions are available under the link www.gassprings.fibro.com or can now also be scanned from the QR code of the label. Overpressure protection Conventional gas springs can burst if the internal pressure rises above a maximum permitted value. If this happens, parts flying around can become dangerous projectiles. FIBRO gas springs are different: if the pressure rises above the maximum permitted value, the safety collar on the sealing set is automatically destroyed. The gas then escapes into the atmosphere and the gas spring is depressurised. The benefit for you: ▶ No risk of bursting parts in the event of overpressure Possible causes of triggering: Incorrect filling (max. filling pressure 150 or 180 bar, nitrogen), infeed of liquid operating material, etc. 1 Bursting screw 2 Overpressure membrane 3 Evacuation groove After a protection function is triggered, the spring cannot be repaired and can no longer be used. It must be replaced completely. 1) The safety features mentioned here have been implemented – with few exceptions – on all FIBRO gas springs. Please refer to the relevant data sheets to check the current safety equipment which is provided with the gas spring you are interested in, or contact FIBRO GmbH directly for more information. For the safe handling of gas springs and other nitrogen products, the safety regulations must be observed. Maintenance work on the product may only be done, if nitrogen gas is no longer contained in the gas spring.
