AT FIBRO, SAFETY AND RELIABILITY ARE PARAMOUNT. PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR GAS SPRINGS.

WITH THEIR UNIQUE RANGE OF SAFETY FEATURES, FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE ONE OF THE SAFEST ON THE MARKET.

THE SAFETY FEATURES MENTIONED HERE HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED – WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS – ON ALL FIBRO GAS

SPRINGS. PLEASE REFER TO THE RELEVANT DATA SHEETS TO CHECK THE CURRENT SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHICH IS PROVIDED

WITH THE GAS SPRING YOU ARE INTERESTED IN, OR CONTACT FIBRO GMBH DIRECTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.

AFTER A PROTECTION FUNCTION IS TRIGGERED, THE SPRING CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND CAN NO LONGER BE USED.

IT MUST BE REPLACED COMPLETELY.

FOR THE SAFE HANDLING OF GAS SPRINGS AND OTHER NITROGEN PRODUCTS, THE SAFETY REGULATIONS MUST BE

OBSERVED. MAINTENANCE WORK ON THE PRODUCT MAY ONLY BE DONE, IF NITROGEN GAS IS NO LONGER CONTAINED IN

THE GAS SPRING.

2 Million strokes

PED APPROVAL FOR 2 MILLION STROKES

FIBRO gas springs are developed,

manufactured and tested for a minimum

of 2 million* full strokes in accordance with

PED 2014/68/EU. The springs deliver this

full performance at the maximum permissible limits in terms of

filling pressure and operating temperature – even when

combined with any of the various mounting types available.

* Calculation value for durability

THE BENEFIT FOR YOU:

▬ Guaranteed safety and reliability for the entire service life of

the spring

Repair kits and qualified training sessions available through

FIBRO Service offer increased effectiveness and process

reliability.

OVERSTROKE PROTECTION

Conventional gas springs may burst in the

event of an over-extended stroke.

Components may come loose and be

ejected.

FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE DIFFERENT:

in the event of an overstroke and depending on the spring type

the patented protection system will ensure that either the

cylinder wall of the gas spring is deformed in a predefined

manner (A) or the piston rod destroys a rupture bolt in the floor

of the cylinder (B), thereby allowing the gas to escape into the

atmosphere.

THE BENEFIT FOR YOU:

▬ Safe working environment and reduced risk of damage to

the tool

POSSIBLE CAUSES OF TRIGGERING:

Lack of stroke limitations in the tool/machine and placing the

piston rods under a load (e.g. sheet-metal holder, slide reset,

etc.), double sheet, incorrect installation position, etc.

RETURN STROKE PROTECTION

If, for any reason, tool components should

get stuck and the piston rod should be

freely released from its compressed

position, conventional gas springs may

pose a safety risk as the piston may not

be retained in the gas spring.

FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE DIFFERENT:

Special guides and a patented safety stop in the piston rods

ensure your safety. If the speed is too high during the return

stroke, the collar on the piston rod will automatically break. The

integrated safety stop then destroys the seal, which allows the

gas to escape into the atmosphere and the gas spring to

become depressurised.

THE BENEFIT FOR YOU:

▬ Safe working environment and reduced risk of damage to

the tool

POSSIBLE CAUSES OF TRIGGERING:

Sudden loosening of jammed components, such as sheetmetal holder, slide, ejector, scraper function, etc.

OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION

Conventional gas springs can burst if the

internal pressure rises above a maximum

permitted value. This may pose a safety

risk for operators and tools.

FIBRO GAS SPRINGS ARE DIFFERENT:

if the pressure rises above the maximum permitted value, the

safety collar on the sealing set is automatically destroyed. The

gas then escapes into the atmosphere and the gas spring is

depressurised.

THE BENEFIT FOR YOU:

▬ Safe working environment and reduced risk of damage to

the tool

POSSIBLE CAUSES OF TRIGGERING:

Incorrect filling (max. filling pressure 150 or 180 bar, nitrogen),

infeed of liquid operating material, etc.

FLEXIBLE GUIDES:

THE FLEX GUIDETM SYSTEM

The Flex GuideTM System is a flexible guide

in the gas spring which absorbs lateral

movements of the piston rod. It minimises

friction and lowers the operating temperature.

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU:

▬ Extended service life

▬ Increased stroke frequency, i.e. more strokes per minute

SAFE HOSE CONNECTIONS:

THE DUAL SEALTM SYSTEM

The FIBRO Dual SealTM System combines

a metal seal with a soft elastomer seal.

On hose connection systems, the system

provides two leak-tight connections and prevents rotation.

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU:

▬ Leak-tight connection, even under vibrations

▬ High process reliability

▬ Minimised tool down time

▬ Simple installation thanks to anti-rotation function

WIRELESS MONITORING:

THE WIRELESS PRESSURE

MONITORING (WPM) SYSTEM

The optional Wireless Pressure Monitoring

System (WPM) (patented) wirelessly

monitors the pressure and temperature of FIBRO gas springs.

Before a defective part is produced, the press operator

receives a message from the WPM and can take appropriate

action.

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU:

▬ Preventative quality assurance

▬ High process reliability

▬ Minimised tool down time

▬ Reduced maintenance and costs

Potential faults are individually displayed. As a result, service

intervals can be extended.

Maintenance and repair costs are reduced.

PROTECTED PISTON RODS:

FIBRO CONCERTINA SHROUDS

The FIBRO Piston Rod Protection

(patented) reliably protects the piston rods

in gas springs against dirt, oil and

emulsion. In this way, the system prevents damage to the

piston rod surface and leaks at internal seals.

THE BENEFITS FOR YOU:

▬ Significantly longer service life for gas springs under harsh

operating conditions
