FSM Series Gas Spring Plate - Horizontal Mounting Plate

Gas spring mounting for horizontal installation is commonly used in tooling and industrial equipment where a cylinder must operate reliably without vertical gravity assist. This plate is installed on the machine frame or housing so it fixes the gas spring body in position, helping maintain stable alignment under load for consistent stroke behavior.

• Industrial automation machine housings: Use with an FSM-type gas spring to lock the cylinder orientation during repeatable clamping or cover movement, especially where internal space restricts vertical mounting.
• Conveyor and lift assist mechanisms: Horizontal setups benefit from the plate’s alignment function to reduce mis-seating and ensure smooth actuation over duty cycles.
• Assembly platforms and ergonomic enclosures: Stable horizontal mounting improves build consistency by maintaining the spring’s reference position from installation through operation.

The variant’s purpose-built horizontal mounting approach and available outer diameter (D) options (50, 75, 95 mm) make it suited for matching different gas spring body sizes.

Material and heat-treatment details are not provided in the available product specifications. As a result, hardness (HRC), specific steel grade, and any surface treatments (e.g., nitriding) cannot be confirmed for this FSM horizontal mounting plate.

For gas spring mounting plates, engineers typically prioritize dimensional stability, adequate wear/impact resistance at the clamping interface, and sufficient toughness to resist deformation during repeated loads. If you are selecting between material options for corrosive environments, confirm whether the plate is supplied in a hardened condition or only as a machined base part.

• Hardness trade-off: Higher hardness improves local wear resistance but may reduce toughness if materials are not properly tempered.
• Process confirmation: Request the exact steel grade and heat treatment state for accurate qualification against your load and fatigue requirements.

Correct selection centers on matching the gas spring outer diameter (D). This FSM horizontal mounting plate is specified for outer diameter (D) options of 50, 75, and 95 mm. Choose the plate variant whose D matches the gas spring body you intend to mount.

• Step 1: Measure or confirm the gas spring cylinder/body outer diameter in the mounting region.
• Step 2: Select D = 50, 75, or 95 mm accordingly.
• Step 3: Verify that the mounting interface on your frame or housing provides the intended seating and clamping clearance so the plate can maintain alignment under load.

Because no tolerance values are provided, use your supplier drawings to confirm fit requirements between the plate bore/interface and the spring body. This product appears to have fixed D-based sizing (50/75/95 mm) rather than fully configurable dimensions.
