This 200N gas lift is also used for belt tensioning on the DTG-BG1200 and DTG-BG2000 belt sanders. Optimum belt tensioning is ensured by the constant pressure of the gas spring, regardless of the pressure.
The question has often been asked: how is a gas spring tensioning better than a normal pressure spring?
A gas spring tensioning can be preferable to a conventional pressure spring in several ways, especially for belt sanders. This is particularly important for belt sanders, as the belt tension remains constant regardless of position.
Compression spring: the compression force varies in proportion to the compression of the spring – the more it compresses, the greater the force, which can result in uneven tensioning.Longer life and less maintenance
Gas spring: a closed system that is less susceptible to dirt and corrosion, so it is more durable and requires less maintenance.
Pressure spring: its open design makes it more prone to contamination, which can reduce its lifetime.
A more compact design
Gas spring: for the same compression force, it takes up less space, making it ideal for tight spaces, such as belt sander tensioning mechanisms.
Pressure spring: for strong pressure, a larger spring is needed, which may require more space.
In summary: Gas spring tensioning offers a smoother, more finely adjustable, quieter and more durable solution for belt sanders, while the pressure spring is simpler but less precise and durable.Key features:
