Product Series Gas Springs including Standard Mounts

kaller.com

The highly appreciated non-re-pairable EP se-ries gas springs for the tool and die industry have been on the market since the early 2000s. It goes without saying, but since the introduction the EP series – naturally like all KALLER gas springs – has undergone continuous and consistent design changes to meet customer expectations for reliability, safety and service lifetime.

Safety updates approved and appreciatedThe new EP3 16 series bears the resemblance of the sealed rod, compact and fully adjustable R12 series. The major difference is that the EP3 16 models come with a rounded piston rod top and a threaded sleeve. Safety updates approved and appreciated by KALLER customers and distributors! Like the EP2 16 the new EP3 16 series con-sists of six gas spring models available in each thread size. Five preset models and one adjus-

table model. The pre-charging of the adjustable model is 5-10 bar, designed for the customer to adjust the gas charge pressure.

Purchasing plenty of gas springsLidhs Verktyg AB, the leading Swedish tool manufacturer of advanced tools for sheet metal forming, has been in business since 1969. Per-Åke Lundgren, Lidhs’s R&D Manager, has all the best to say when asked about the KALLER gas springs in general, and he has very good KALLER knowledge from purchasing plenty of gas springs over the years. “At Lidhs we have a saying: ‘our experience is the customer’s security for reliable production’. To live up to this we need to work with contrac-tors who can live up to catchwords like ‘safety’ and ‘reliability’. KALLER is definitely among those contractors,” Mr. Lundgren concludes.

They come in the same stroke

Now abandoning Ejector Pin

EP2 16 gas springs to introduce

the EP3 16 series, an unexperienced

eye would probably say that KALLER

has changed nothing in design.

But as always when KALLER

introduces new or

updated products,

there is a major

focus on safety

updates. Perhaps

not visible to a

layman but

undoubtedly

crystal clear to a

trained technician.

Ejector Pin (EP) gas springs are designed to

replace mechanical spring plungers/lifters.

EP gas springs have a partially threaded

M16x1.5, M16x2 or M24x1.5 body.

Compared to conventional mechanical

spring plungers/lifters EP gas springs

provide a fully adjustable and superior

lifting force and better service life.

EP3, EP2 and EPS2 gas springs

are color-coded for easy force

identification. The gas springs

can be adjusted and

recharged to meet

individual force

requirements.

The Safer Choice

Dual Seal

Over-Stroke Protection System

SAFETY. When a gas spring is over-stroked, this helps reduce the risk of tool damage or injury.

PED approved for 2 million strokes

RELIABILITY. Our 2 million stroke PED approval ensures safer component cycle life.

Overload Protection System

SAFETY. Jammed cam or tool part being forced by gas springs? This will help reducing such risks.

Overpressure Protection System

SAFETY. Vents the spring if the internal gas pressure exceeds the maximum allowable limit to prevent accidents.

Flex GuideTM System

RELIABILITY. Prolongs service life, life, allows more strokes per minute, and offers greater tolerance to lateral tool movements.

Dual SealTM Link Systems

RELIABILITY. Fewer production interruptions due to leakage caused by vibration. Simplified installation thanks to the non-rotation feature.

KALLER Training Program

TRAINING. Without doubt the KALLER Training Program is the best and most creative way to fully understand and appreciate the importance of the safety and reliability features.

Introduced in 1983, the KALLER gas spring technology quickly led to world-wide demand. The Safer Choice - Training, Safety and Reliability - has always been a KALLER top priority for providing the safer working environment. We recommend looking through all available KALLER features when selecting gas springs and gas or hose linked systems.
