Hilma Introduces MAGNETIC Quick Die Change
Tooling Technology Components Cataloged
for Linking Gas Springs
Linked gas springs allow metalform- ers to easily monitor, control and adjust pressure from outside the die. To simplify the specifying of components needed to configure a linked, piped gas-spring system, Dadco, Plymouth, MI, has pub- lished a new Nitrogen Gas Spring Linked
System Components catalog. The cata- log features fittings, hose, control pan- els and specialty components, including information on Dadco’s MiniLink D-24 tapered, O-ring face seal and zip fittings, as well as a new, versatile convertible con- trol panel. The catalog also provides details on Dadco’s Sectional Mounting System (SMS) and Sectional Mounting System-Internal (SMS-i).
