Gas Spring Lower Groove Mounting Plate

This lower groove mounting plate is used in injection mold tooling where a compatible gas spring must be integrated to provide consistent, controlled opening/return force. It is intended for plate-only support of the lower groove mounting configuration, making it suitable for mold base and machine-setup designs that rely on catalog-specified compatibility.

Common scenarios include:

• Automotive part molds: Mount the gas spring plate on the lower groove to help stabilize slide or shut height over repeated cycles, especially when repeated thermal cycles require predictable force.
• Consumer electronics housings: Use the correct plate type (FFC/FFCA/FFS/FCM/FFCB) to match the gas spring groove geometry and maintain consistent actuation for cover-opening mechanisms.
• Medical device molding fixtures: Select the appropriate outer diameter (D) and length (L) range so the plate seats correctly without interference, supporting repeatable movement under sustained production loads.

Because this is specifically built for lower groove integration and multiple plate types are available, it reduces fit risk versus using non-matching mounting styles.

The provided specifications for this item focus on dimensional compatibility (outer diameter D, length L) and plate type (FCM, FFC, FFCA, FFCB, FFS). No steel grade, heat-treatment condition, or hardness (HRC) data is included in the input, so the exact material properties cannot be stated from the given information.

For engineering validation, treat this as a component mating part that must be selected by the gas spring catalog table to ensure correct mechanical fit and load transfer. When you confirm the compatible gas spring model, request the associated steel grade and heat treatment details (e.g., quenched & tempered or surface treatments such as nitriding if applicable) from your supplier documentation.

• Hardness & wear: Verify whether the plate requires higher wear resistance depending on how the groove interface cycles under load.
• Toughness trade-off: If the mating gas spring uses a hardened body, ensure the plate’s toughness is adequate to avoid cracking at groove edges.

Selection is driven by matching your target gas spring lower groove geometry using the catalog table. This plate provides variable dimensions for the groove interface: outer diameter (D) = 19 ~ 195 mm and L dimension (L) = 45 ~ 210 mm.

How to size correctly:

• Step 1: Identify the compatible gas spring configuration (lower groove mounting) and then choose the matching Plate Type: FCM, FFC, FFCA, FFCB, or FFS.
• Step 2: Confirm the plate’s D falls within the required outer diameter envelope for your mounting interface.
• Step 3: Verify L (45 ~ 210 mm) provides the correct axial length for proper seating and prevents overhang or interference with adjacent components.

Tolerance & fit: The input does not specify tolerances. Use the compatible gas spring and plate type to ensure the designed fit, and reference the catalog table for the official fit/clearance values rather than relying on nominal dimensions alone.
