FHM Series Gas Spring Plate - Horizontal Mounting Plate

This horizontal gas spring mounting plate is used inside injection-molded lifting assemblies where the cylinder must maintain a stable, repeatable axis during opening and closing. Its fixed-type design helps simplify tooling integration by eliminating adjustable mounting logic while keeping the gas spring body aligned for consistent lift.

• Industrial cabinet and enclosure lifts: Mount the cylinder horizontally to control door or access panel motion, reducing misalignment risk during frequent cycles.
• Machine access systems: Use the fixed horizontal plate to maintain lift geometry for hinged guards and service panels, especially when space constrains vertical mounting.
• Fixture and automation housings: Incorporate horizontal cylinder support to hold tooling covers in a predictable open position.

This variant is suited because it is designed for specific gas spring outer diameters (notably 32 mm and 38 mm), improving fit-and-support repeatability across assemblies.

The provided product data does not specify the steel grade or hardness (HRC), so the exact material properties and heat-treatment state (e.g., quench & temper, nitriding) cannot be confirmed from the current input. For gas spring mounting plates in general, manufacturers typically select steels that balance wear resistance at the contact features with toughness to resist deformation under repeated load cycles.

• Heat treatment (required to confirm): Look for process information such as quenched & tempered or surface hardening to meet cycle-life targets.
• Hardness & wear vs. toughness: Higher hardness improves resistance to fretting and edge wear, while excessive hardness can reduce toughness and increase chipping risk at mounting interfaces.
• Material comparison (not provided): If options exist, compare grades by hardness, impact toughness, and any corrosion protection.

If you share the BOM/material code for series 110110588779, the steel-to-property mapping and expected HRC can be stated precisely.

Selection is primarily based on matching the gas spring cylinder outer diameter (D). This FHM horizontal mounting plate is specified for D = 32 mm and D = 38 mm.

• Step 1: Identify the gas spring cylinder OD. Choose the corresponding variant for 32 mm or 38 mm to ensure correct seating and stable horizontal alignment.
• Step 2: Match mounting interface geometry. Verify that the plate’s mounting hole pattern and any locating features (not provided in the current data) are compatible with your mold/tooling assembly frame.
• Step 3: Consider tolerance and fit. Use the gas spring’s catalog tolerances for OD and the plate’s receiving feature tolerance to avoid looseness (motion play) or interference (assembly stress).
• Step 4: Fixed type implication. Because it is a fixed type (FHM), design the linkage and clearances assuming no post-install adjustment.

If you need exact fit tolerances for the plate’s receiving bore or clamp interface, provide the drawing/spec for the series 110110588779.
