Publication presents the full gas spring universe

When is a catalogue not a catalogue? When it's a full-blown manual with engineering and technical data at the front with all necessary and pertinent product information at the back

When is a catalogue not a catalogue? When it's a full-blown manual with engineering and technical data at the front with all necessary and pertinent product information at the back.

The 98-page Stabilus gas spring publication from SKF Linear Motion contains no less than 28 pages of technical information on the design, selection and operation of gas springs and is sure to be a unique source of reference for designers working in applications and design projects that will use gas spring technology.

Users are introduced to the "ideal gas spring" and its method of operation before being taken through real-life applications and how gas springs can be tailored and designed to suit their exact needs - from car doors to office chairs.

Full details are then given of all types of gas spring architectures and why they suit certain applications.

All varieties are backed up with installation tips and examples.

Full technical details such as operating envelopes, force calculations and operating parameters are provided across the full Stabilus range - including its lift-o-mat, Hydro-lift, bloc-o-lift and stab-o-mat variants - leaving engineers and designers in no doubt as to which product variant best suits their needs.

Once the familiarisation is over, readers are presented with over 65 pages of specific product information covering the entire Stabilus range with each section giving full technical specifications such as stroke, force, overall length and mounting options - a product option matrix at the beginning of each section makes selection even easier.

International contact details are provided at the rear as are other publications covering linear products in SKF's extensive range.
