The LCF Series is the next generation of nitrogen gas springs. This innovative series is engineered to address the major problems facing metal stampers today: excessive shock loads, high noise levels and extreme pad/blank-holder bounce, all factors that lead to high press maintenance costs and noise pollution.
The LCF Series reduces shock load by as much as 50% compared to traditional gas springs. They deliver a gradual force build-up and smooth acceleration so there’s less impact on gear and bearings and less wear on drive components.
The payoff is reduced press maintenance.
The LCF Series lowers noise levels significantly, with a higher reduction in sound pressure level compared to standard gas springs. Its lesser impact force results in these lower noise levels and makes these springs a cost effective alternative to building noise enclosures.
The payoff is a quieter, safer and healthier working environment.
The LCF Series decreases pad/blank-holder bounce, allowing improved part transfer efficiency, increased production rates and reduced scrap. A gradual force increase and return results in smoother pad/blank-holder operation. The payoff is higher production rates.
Because LCF gas springs mount directly to the die and are independent from the press, all benefits travel with the tool.
