b'READY Springs - Main Components Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED)BODYA single piece construction is used for models with up to 160mm strokeAll READY DESIGN-TITE gas springs comply with European Directive Infolengths. On longer stroke length models, a tubular construction with a weldedPED 2014/68/EU on pressurized appliances. New European Parliament andInfo end cap is used. In contrast to other brands, READY incorporates a threaded joint2014/68/UE European Council Directive 2014/68/EU dated 15 May 2014 reforms between these two elements to eliminate the possibility of weld fatigue. European Parliament and European Council Directive 97/23/EC from 29 May 1997, adapting its provisions to recent Community legislation.SHEATHED TYPE GAS SPRING The current directive applies to design, manufacture and conformity STEM Fatigue-resistant steels are employed, which have specific treatmentsassessment of pressure equipment subjected to a maximum permissible PS that ensure a long useful life. READY offers the maximum quality MICROFINISH onpressure of over 0,5 bar.the surface of all its stems, thus ensuring a longer service life by reducing frictionAll gas springs with a volume over 1 litre and PSV above 50 barlitre are and wear and tear in the seals. established in different categories (I, II and III). Gas springs belonging to Hardness 64HRcRugosityRa 0,05m these categories are identified by the corresponding CE marking.SINGLE CHAMBER GAS SPRING There is a large variety of models that do not reach these values in the BUSHING The bushings incorporate scrapers which cleans the STEM with everyREADY gas spring program, and therefore, again according to Directive stroke and helps reduce penetration of debris to extend the springs overall service2014/68/EU, such products are covered by Article 4.3, and are designed and life. The self-lubricating bushings are designed to avoid metal to metal contact tomanufactured in accordance with general good practices. READY applies the further ensure long life. The seals used have been painstakingly tested to ensuresame design, safety and manufacturing criteria as the Directive establishes, gas tightness even when pushed to their maximum limits.and therefore all READY gas springs are identified and marked as specified in the Directive. Gas springs covered by Article 4.3, however, cannot carry STANDARD GAS SPRING any CEmarkings.Floating Guide Systems Safety instructions and instructions for use are also supplied with each gas spring so as to guarantee correct use of the gas spring at all times.The technology used in READY DESIGN-TITE gas springs incorporates a flexible guiding system that makes it D possible to absorb deviations in vertical dFEM Fatigue Analysismovement, thus considerably reducingREADY certifies that READY DESIGN-TITE gas springs have a guaranteed 2.000.000 cycles gas spring damage due to lateral forces.service life in terms of structural fatigue of all gas spring components, See model options to check forAbsence ofSpecial stem designaccording to the following specifications:Movement allowed availability.with no damage metal-to-metal contactto centralize contact Maximum period: 8 yearsModels Standard and Floating Designs Up to body diameter 95mm and strokes up to 125mm:Standard Gas Springs Gas Springs 5.000.000 strokes Classical design Floating Guide max 2 Body diameter 120mm to 195mm:3.400.000 strokes6 All gas spring components have a minimum resistance to fatigue of 3.400.000 cycles according to the FEM analysis following the UNE-EN 13445 norm. 7'
