Gas Spring Upper Groove Mount Plates (Round/Oval)

This round/oval gas spring groove mount plate is used in injection-mold tooling and industrial fixtures where a gas spring must be positioned repeatably relative to a hinge or bracket. In cabinet and access-door mechanisms, the upper groove mounting style helps maintain correct installation geometry, reducing misalignment during assembly and service.

For automated workholding and protective covers, engineers often standardize on modular plate components so the gas spring can be swapped while keeping bracket design stable. The ability to choose plate types (FC, FCB, FCC) and a flange shape matched to the bracket layout makes this variant suitable for tight packaging and consistent kinematics.

• Round groove mounting: supports installations needing round key-flat engagement.
• Double key flats cutting (upper groove): improves locating consistency for the upper groove interface.
• Plates only approach: design the bracket once, then select the compatible gas spring per the catalog table.

The provided catalog data for these upper groove mount plates specifies geometry and plate/flange types (FC, FCB, FCC; round/oval mounting), but it does not list a steel grade, heat-treatment condition, or hardness (HRC). Because no material grade is stated in the input, the material-specific wear resistance, toughness trade-offs, and heat-treat state (e.g., quenched & tempered, nitrided) cannot be confirmed for this exact SKU.

• What you can specify from the data: select by outer diameter (D) and length (L) to match the gas spring groove interface.
• What to verify with supplier documentation: steel grade and HRC target, especially if the bracket sees high cyclic loads, corrosion exposure, or sliding/impact at the groove interface.
• Multiple materials: if multiple alloys are offered in the catalog, compare them using hardness (HRC) for wear resistance versus tempering toughness for shock loading.

For final material confirmation, reference the product’s catalog table that pairs the plate to the specific gas spring model.

Selection should start by matching the plate to the gas spring’s upper-groove interface geometry. Use the outer diameter (D) range of 12 ~ 195 mm and the L dimension range of 34 ~ 290 mm to ensure the plate fits the mounting envelope and aligns with the groove seating surface.

• Match D: choose the plate with an outer diameter within the required interface diameter for the target gas spring.
• Match L: set length to fit your bracket spacing while maintaining the intended mounting engagement length.
• Choose the correct plate type: select FC, FCB, or FCC based on your bracket layout and flange arrangement.
• Confirm mounting position flange shape: pick upper groove mounting (Double key flats cutting) or upper groove mounting (Round) to match the gas spring groove style.

Because the input data does not provide tolerance values, treat the listed ranges as size coverage and validate fit against the gas spring compatibility table in the catalog. If your bracket is tight-tolerance, confirm allowable clearances for assembly and service adjustment.
