Gas Spring Mounting Brackets for Gas Springs - Lower Groove Mount, Leaf Shape

These leaf-shape mounting plates are used in injection-mold tooling when building fixtures, furniture hardware jigs, or assembly systems that incorporate lower-groove gas springs. In real production, the plate provides the repeatable interface that seats the gas spring’s lower groove correctly, helping maintain consistent stroke alignment across multiple builds.

Common scenarios include:

• Automotive and industrial interior assemblies: use the lower-groove plate to ensure the gas spring stays properly located during door/cover motion, reducing side-load-induced misalignment.
• Ergonomic furniture mechanisms: the leaf profile supports stable load transfer from the gas spring to the mounting structure, improving robustness in repeated cycles.
• Packaging equipment and lift-and-tilt tooling: accurate lower-groove fitting helps maintain predictable opening angles for repeatable machine operation.

The variant is suited because it is plates-only, with lower-groove geometry intended for correct groove fitting and a leaf-shaped profile that supports load transfer while assembly tolerances are controlled.

The provided product data specifies the mounting geometry (lower groove mount, leaf shape) and dimensions, but it does not include a steel grade, hardness (HRC), or heat-treatment state. As a result, the exact material properties (e.g., wear resistance, toughness balance) cannot be stated from the current specification.

Manufacturing process notes relevant to plates of this type typically include:

• Blanking/forming to create the leaf-shaped profile and lower-groove interface surfaces.
• Deburring and surface finishing at the groove-contact areas to promote consistent seating.
• Optional post-processing (if specified by the selected supply spec) such as heat treatment or surface treatments depending on required fatigue and wear performance.

Recommendation: confirm the material/heat-treatment details for the selected plate type (FT or FTP) in the applicable catalog specifications before design sign-off.

Selection should start from the outer diameter (D) requirement of your compatible lower-groove gas spring interface. This series covers D = 38 ~ 195 mm, so choose the plate whose diameter matches the groove seating interface for the gas spring being mounted.

Then match the plate type to your application’s mounting requirements:

• FT: select when your assembly callout requires the FT plate variant.
• FTP: select when the mechanism design specifies the FTP plate variant.

To ensure correct fit in the mold/tooling or assembly fixture, align the plate’s lower-groove mounting geometry with the gas spring’s lower-groove dimensions. Pay attention to seating condition and any required clearance at the groove-contact surfaces—plates that are within the correct D range will typically be the first determinant of proper alignment.

Because the catalog note states this is “plates only” and instructs checking applicable specs, treat both D and plate type (FT/FTP) as fixed configuration parameters for compatibility.
