Precisely control movements HAHN Gasfedern in mechanical engineering and the food industry

Industriearm, der eine Box hält, zeigt den Einsatz von Gasfedern zur Unterstützung von Bewegungen in der Automatisierungstechnik.

Mechanical engineering and automation are highly dynamic processes. Therefore, functionality, efficiency, and safety are all the more important considerations in this area. Machines and systems must not only work precisely and reliably, but they must also be designed for quick assembly and easy maintenance. This applies to all areas – from machine tool assembly to the manufacture of semiconductors or laser systems to applications in the food industry. Controlled movement plays a central role here. It helps to ensure the longevity of the machines while maximizing output. HAHN Gasfedern offers exactly the right solutions for this.

Mechanical engineering applications

Conveniently open and close machine panels

In machine tools and systems, the ability to safely and easily handle machine panels is essential. HAHN gas pressure springs and gas tension springs ensure that even heavy lids can be opened and closed effortlessly. These springs not only provide stability, but also ensure smooth and controlled movement – ​​as a protection against accidental closing.

Food industry applications

Protection of food production machinery from contamination

In food production, machines must comply with strict hygiene regulations. Our gas springs have been specially developed for use in such environments. By using a specific oil compliant with FDA regulations, the risk of contamination is minimized. At the same time, the gas springs ensure precise and reliable movement control, which is necessary for processing sensitive foods.

For corrosion-resistant applications

including resistance to rust and chemicals

Stainless steel gas springs are the ideal solution in humid or corrosive environments, which are common in the food industry. These springs are particularly resistant to rust and chemicals and are perfect for use in machines that need to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. In addition, the seals can also be adapted in accordance with requirements to ensure even greater resistance and durability.
