Hahn Gas Springs presents a new gas spring with Ballpoint pen principle, with which, for example, wind and privacy windows can be opened and closed very easily. The ballpoint pen principle is based on hydraulic damped springs, which can also be mechanically locked in the pushed-in position.
By gently pressing or tapping the end of the piston rod, the Locking release and the gas spring extends automatically. The end position damping can be adapted to the application so that the speed is optimized and the noise is minimized. If you push the piston back, it is locked again. Everything is done mechanically - there are no cables, batteries or electricity costs.
Maintenance free and well lubricated
The Adjustment elements are self-contained and maintenance-free. They are filled with the compressed gas nitrogen, which is used to provide the spring force. The piston rod is always extended in the unloaded state. An oil filling ensures good lubrication and end position cushioning. The gas spring can be optimally attached to the respective application by means of a large number of connections and fittings.
In the house, the new gas spring with the ballpoint pen principle ensures user-friendly and convenient operation. Installed in a wind or privacy window, a small pressure on the window is enough, which opens automatically and keeps the wind and unwanted glances away. If you want to bring the fresh breeze into the house afterwards, you simply press the glass and the window closes again and locks itself in place - without fixing elements or crank. One click is enough and the window moves to its starting position.
In addition to being used around the house, these gas springs with the ballpoint pen principle are also suitable for many applications in the furniture industry, in mechanical engineering Medical Technology and many other industries
