The gas springs, also called gas pressure springs, gas dampers or gas pressure dampers, will solve your individual requirements for opening, closing, tilting and damping flaps, tables, seats or loungers thanks to our decades of experience. They take care of the controlled movement sequence and offer the following advantages: Simple installation Compact design Integrated damping Definable spring characteristic and extension speed Standard product range The SUSPA standard product range of gas springs includes five different basic types.

The locking gas springs, also called gas pressure springs, gas dampers or gas pressure dampers, aid the ergonomics and comfort for conveniently safely changing seated and lying positions, for effortlessly and precisely operating machine covers and are used in many other applications. Our lockable gas springs make it possible to variably lock them in any stroke position, whether elastically ("spring-loaded") or rigidly. Our special functions offer particular advantages when it comes to convenience and operation. Different connection elements and release systems complete our range of products and give you the appropriate lockable gas spring for any application.

The SUSPA hydraulic dampers, also called shock absorbers, industrial shock absorbers or vibration dampers, are designed for the respective product application so that an optimal movement sequence or optimal vibration behavior is achieved. We use our decades of experience in the field of damping technology to solve your individual requirements for damping vibrations and impacts.     What is a friction damper? How is the damper built and what forces are acting? We present the most important characteristics of the SUSPA friction dampers to you here.   Friction dampers are damping elements that convert the kinetic energy of moving components into thermal energy, thus reducing hard stops or avoiding excessively large vibration amplitudes.   Friction dampers essentially consist of a housing, a tappet, and a friction element that acts like a connecting member. The damping or friction force is generated by the friction element due to the relative movement between the housing and tappet.   The friction or damping force can be controlled via the friction element.   Different characteristics are available for friction dampers. These range from linear force progression to soft start to spring-supported characteristic curves. In this way, we are able to create the ideal damper from our modular system for the respective application. The friction forces are temperature and speed-dependent   Environmentally friendly Low weight Long service life  

Conventional crash absorbers can reach their limits, especially in tight installation space conditions. Highly-efficient energy absorbers with a very high degree of effectiveness reduce the deformation path at a constant force level. The highly-efficient e-Tube combines minimal penetration through the maximum possible degree of effectiveness with an exact and easy-to-adjust force progression. The impact absorber is a fully-reversible solids damper with a high degree of efficiency.    Characteristics Degree of efficiency > 90% Very flexible adjustable force level Large range of force The smallest installation dimensions No nominal solid deflection Low weight   Designs Can be precisely controlled with local impressions Aluminum or steel designs Constant, stepped, increasing or decreasing force progression possible   Characteristics Full reversibility Degree of efficiency > 85% Small installation dimensions Low temperature dependency Large range of force Damping force increases with the collision speed Proven millions of times   Designs Filled with environmentally-friendly solid silicone Different basic sizes available according to the modular principle Also with the downstream eTube Aluminum or steel design

• Diameter of a piston rod4 - 28 mm
• Diameter of the tube4 - 70 mm
• Length35 - 700 mm
• RoughnessRa 0.05 µm / Rz 0.5 µm  
• MaterialsSteel, stainless steel, aluminum
• Surface refinementHard chrome plating, salt bath or gas nitriding, DLC, black finishing, zinc plating, passivation

Rotary and translatory moving piston rods, shafts and tubes meet the highest quality standards due to our decades-long expertise. The precisely coordinated production steps of turning, hardening, grinding, surface coating and polishing ensure a high surface quality. For the surface refinement, in addition to the hard chrome plating for low friction and durability, we use salt bath nitriding too, which meets the requirements for corrosion protection. This results in black piston rods with an extremely hard and smooth surface, which offer less surface to be affected by harmful influences. The roughness values are precisely met depending on the series and are reliably kept within the micrometer range. In addition to the classic versions, SUSPA also offers you complex geometries such as cross-bores, millings, different diameters or axial deep hole bores. Take advantage of our experience with customers and manufacturers of chassis dampers or hydraulic cylinders who exclusively purchase their piston rods from us.   The piston rod is a component of a coordinated tribological system.   CNC turning With the latest multi-axis CNC turning machines, we offer you conventional cam-controlled, simple turning as well as the economical complete machining of turned parts in one clamping.   Hardening Inductive through-hardening ensures the hardening of predetermined zones in the component. It is a technology that can be customized to your needs.   Centerless through-feed grinding SUSPA grinding lines ensure high throughput speeds and optimal economic efficiency. You can expect an optimal surface quality with roughness values up to Ra 0.1 µm, depending on the material and diameter requirement.   Surfaces Hard chrome plating, salt bath nitriding, gas nitriding, DLC, black finishing, zinc plating, passivation achieve high corrosion resistance and wear resistance. This means extremely large load changes over the entire service life for your products.   Polishing The prerequisite of a tribological system is a flawless surface, which we achieve through a final optimized finishing, without a significant removal of material.   Flexibility A provision of our components adapted to your logistics requirements in the batch sizes you need is a matter of course.
