Product catalog summary

Overview

This technical document provides comprehensive information on gas springs and related fixing elements compliant with Ford Standard WDX-Global. It covers product specifications, ordering codes, dimensional data, performance characteristics, mounting options, accessories, and global distribution contacts. The document is intended as a detailed reference for selecting, ordering, and installing gas springs across various industrial applications.

1. Specifications and Performance Characteristics

The gas springs detailed range widely in nominal stroke lengths (from 20 mm up to 300 mm or more) and initial spring forces (from 42 daN for standard models up to 18,300 daN for powerline and compact series). Key parameters include:

Force (daN): Initial spring forces vary from low hundreds to over 18,000 daN depending on the series.
Charge Pressure (bar): Operating pressures typically range up to 150 bar.
Stroke Length (mm): Multiple stroke options are available to suit application needs.
Pressure Rise Factor: Graphs illustrate how spring force changes with stroke displacement, accounting for internal pressure changes but excluding external influences.

Performance diagrams plot initial spring force against charge pressure and stroke displacement, aiding in precise selection and design integration.

2. Ordering Codes and Execution Types

Ordering codes follow a structured Ford Standard WDX format, encoding spring type, force rating, stroke length, and execution/mounting style. Execution suffixes define mounting and connection options, including:

Standalone use (e.g., DMS, TMS, BMS, BM S)
Composite connection without valve or pressure (e.g., DMP, TMP, BMP, BM P)
Mounting with collar flange, split clamping flange, pedestal foot clamp, or floor mounting

Valve types vary by model, including G1/8", M6, and M3 fittings.

3. Dimensional Data and Mounting Details

Extensive tables provide mechanical dimensions critical for installation and compatibility, including diameters, lengths (minimum and maximum), thread sizes (M6, M8, M10, M16, M24), and fixing hole specifications. Mounting examples illustrate assembly with various fixing elements such as collar flanges, split clamping flanges, pedestal foot clamps, and floor flanges.

4. Accessories and Connection Components

The document details adapter baseplates pre-fitted to gas springs, connection fittings compliant with DIN EN ISO 4762, and accessories including:

Gauging hoses with straight or angled ends and anti-kink protection
Threaded joints in straight and 90° configurations
Single and double adapters in multiple lengths and orientations
Control fittings for pressure monitoring with rapid couplings and bleeder valves (measuring range 0-400 bar)

Specified tightening torques for screws (M8 = 18 Nm, M10 = 34 Nm) ensure secure assembly.

5. Performance Diagrams and Graphical Data

Graphs illustrate relationships between charge pressure, stroke length, spring force, and pressure rise factor across different gas spring series and force ranges. These visual aids support accurate prediction of spring behavior under operational conditions.

6. Recommendations and Notes

Pressure rise factor should be considered when calculating force over stroke displacement but excludes external influences.
Execution codes and fixing elements must be selected carefully to match application requirements.
All data and specifications are subject to change.
Mounting accessories such as pedestal foot clamps and collar flanges have separate order numbers.

7. Global Distribution and Contact Information

The document concludes with an extensive directory of representatives and distributors for the LÄPPLE Group and FIBRO GmbH worldwide. It includes detailed contact information for German regional representatives and international partners across Europe, Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Corporate contact details for FIBRO GmbH’s Business Unit Standard Parts in Germany are also provided.

Critical Information Summary

Gas springs cover a broad range of forces (42 daN to 18,300 daN) and strokes (20 mm to 300+ mm).
Ordering codes conform to Ford Standard WDX, encoding force, stroke, execution, and mounting type.
Multiple fixing element executions enable flexible mounting options (collar flange, split clamping flange, pedestal foot clamp, floor mounting).
Comprehensive dimensional tables ensure precise integration into assemblies.
Accessories and adapter baseplates facilitate installation and pressure monitoring.
Performance diagrams assist in selecting appropriate springs based on force and stroke requirements.
Specified tightening torques and standards compliance ensure secure and reliable assembly.
Global network of representatives supports sales and technical assistance worldwide.

This document serves as a detailed technical reference for engineers, purchasers, and installers working with Ford Standard WDX gas springs and related components.
