This 200N gas spring is also used for belt tensioning on DTG-BG1200 and DTG-BG2000 belt sanders.
The constant pressure of the gas spring ensures optimal belt tension, regardless of the compression level. A common question that arises is: How is gas spring tensioning better than a standard compression spring?

A gas spring tensioning offers several advantages over a traditional compression spring, especially for belt sanders.

Consistent Force Transmission

• Gas Spring: Due to the gas filling, the gas spring provides continuous and even pressure throughout the entire range of motion. This is especially important for belt sanders, as it maintains consistent belt tension regardless of position.
• Compression Spring: The pressure varies proportionally with the compression of the spring — the more it is compressed, the greater the force, which can result in uneven tension.

Longer Lifespan and Less Maintenance

• Gas Spring: It is a closed system that is less susceptible to dirt and corrosion, making it more durable and requiring less maintenance.
• Compression Spring: Its open design makes it more prone to dirt, which can reduce its lifespan.

More Compact Design

• Gas Spring: Provides the same force while taking up less space, making it ideal for tight spaces, such as the tensioning mechanisms of belt sanders.
• Compression Spring: Requires a larger spring for stronger pressure, which takes up more space.

In Summary:

Gas spring tensioning offers a more even, finely adjustable, quieter, and more durable solution for belt sanders, while compression springs are simpler but less precise and durable.
