Important information about materials, installation, storage, service life and returns.
What materials are CB-Motion gas springs/springs made of?
Gas springs mainly consist of steel or stainless-steel piston rods and cylinder tubes. Connecting parts are made of lead-free aluminium, lead-free steel or stainless steel, together with seals, oil, grease and nitrogen. The seals and oils contain no critical or hazardous substances. Nitrogen is inert, non-flammable and poses no health hazards. Our springs comply with all regulations known to us.
Can CB-Motion products be returned?
Due to order-based manufacturing and customized filling, returns are excluded.
How should a gas spring be disposed of?
Gas springs are under very high pressure. They must not be opened, heated or disposed of in household waste. Disposal must take place through a hazardous waste collection point.
Read disposal regulations ↗Can a gas spring be repaired?
Unfortunately, repairs are not possible.
How should the gas spring be installed?
Ideally, with the piston rod pointing downwards to ensure optimal damping efficiency.
Do gas springs need to be protected?
The piston rod must be protected from damage. Paint, scratches, impacts, cleaning agents, etc. may destroy the sealing package during movement.
How should a gas spring be stored?
Storage is independent of position. Upon first operation, a certain breakaway torque may need to be taken into account.
What is the lifetime of CB-Motion gas springs?
Depending on design, installation and external influences, six-figure stroke cycles are entirely possible.
