Gas Springs GSQ Series Plate Set

This gas spring plate set is used in injection mold tooling and automation systems where controlled force over a defined stroke is needed for consistent actuation. It is well suited to heavy-load clamping and positioning mechanisms, helping maintain stable holding force during early movement and reducing variability at the start of travel.

Common scenarios include:

• Automotive connector and bracket molds with integrated opening/return assist, where a heavy-load plate type supports repeatable motion across cycles.
• Appliance and industrial component molds using assist devices for part ejection or slides, where the 10–80 mm stroke range can be matched to linkage geometry.
• High-cycle automation fixtures requiring consistent initial load; GSQ compatibility with GSP enables 33% higher initial loads for improved early-stage holding performance.

Select FM or HM plate types based on your GSQ/GSP mounting variation, and choose Body only or a full set configuration to align with your assembly BOM strategy.

The provided data specifies plate type and dimensional ranges for the GSQ series plate set, but it does not include the underlying steel grade, heat treatment state, or measured hardness (HRC). Therefore, material properties such as wear resistance and toughness trade-offs cannot be stated from the current specification.

For design work, treat this component as a mold-assist mechanical force element interface where the governing constraints are load capability, stroke compatibility, and mounting variation (FM vs HM). If you require details like steel grade (e.g., SKD61/H13 or D2 equivalents), nitriding vs. quenched-and-tempered conditions, or target hardness, request the manufacturer’s material datasheet for plate construction.

• Best-fit material selection should be verified against your expected contact loads, wear mode (sliding vs. bearing), and temperature range.
• Heat-treatment-dependent performance (wear resistance vs. toughness) should be confirmed before finalizing the design.

To select the correct GSQ plate set dimensions, match your required travel and mounting envelope to the available stroke (S) and overall L dimension ranges. The catalog ranges are:

• Stroke (S): 10 ~ 80 mm
• L Dimension (L): 75 ~ 230 mm

First, determine the needed linear travel in your assembly (linkage geometry between the fixed mount and moving interface). Choose the plate set with a stroke S that covers the full required motion without bottoming out.

Next, verify the available space for the plate length L within the mold base, safe-plate stack, or actuator mounting bracket. Ensure the selected plate type matches your GSQ/GSP mounting variation: FM (For GSP/GSQ) or HM (For GSP/GSQ).

Configuration is selectable: you can order Body only or a complete set, which affects how you allocate dimensions across existing parts. Tolerances are not specified in the input data—confirm clearance and fit requirements with your final assembly drawings.
