Are there any safety requirements on the camloc gas springs?

 

Safety Requirements:

Gas springs are filled with Nitrogen at very high pressures, and under no circumstances should they be opened or tampered with, or subjected to excessive heat or tension.

Gas springs should always be treated with respect in the knowlegde of the pressure internally.

As a pressurised item, it is recommended that they be returned to the supplier for safe disposal at the end of their useful life.

As the nature aof a gas spring is to lose its force over a long period of time, it is advisable to periodically check it's ability to operate as initially intended, preferably forming part of a planned maintenance programme. Replace if, and when necessary.

 

Installation Instructions:

For standard compression gas springs, we advise the use of ball joints to alleviate possible side load. Always ensure end fittings are fully screwed onto the gas spring thread ends before fitting.

Generally fit with piston rod down, preferably within 60 degrees to the vertical, and avoid the spring travelling through a large arc. It is advisable to keep the spring in a single plane of movement. Failure to adhere to this advise may result in reduced life of the gass spring.
