Gas Spring Clamps

Application

Used to retain a Gas Spring throughout a metal stamping die.

Innovation

Circumferential clamping

The clamp makes contact in multiple locations, providing robust holding strength while centering the gas spring.

Compatible with all nitrogen brands

The clamp features single-tap machining and is compatible with all other clamp spring brands.

Standard Lifters’ Gas Spring Clamps are the easy choice when it comes to the innovative body containment, the simplified machining (taps only), and the unclamping for cylinder maintenance.

Usage Guidelines

Gas Springs are required to be “contained” when using GSCs. They are not to be used on “uncontained” applications, like Gas Springs used to “drive” a Lifter Bar or Rack from above.
Back-up is required to support the full load of the Gas Spring.
Screws with a nylon patch are required to be used (provided).
The mounting surface is required to be a flat (machined or ground) surface, that is perpendicular to the bored hole.
It is recommended that the GSC be located at least 50% up from the bottom of the Gas Spring
