Perfect stabilisation of knife protection hoods on harvesting machines thanks to low-wear ACE gas springs
ACE industrial gas springs prevent injuries during maintenance work on harvesting machines. The blades of corn pickers are arranged under plastic hoods, which assure proper material flow within the machine. For maintenance purposes, the hoods, weighing approx. 7 kg, must be lifted up. Industrial gas springs GS-22 (push type) are used to protect the maintenance workers from the flaps falling down. A further advantage is the resistance under rough operating conditions due to a wear-resistant surface coating on the piston rod and the coated body.
With their function of limiting swinging movement, they secure machines when cornering and loading and provide a high degree of comfort and safety as well as sec...
