The diagram below shows the suggested mounting positions for 90 degree opening of a typical gate using a GSG-22 and GSG-19 fitted with a Gas Spring Length Adapter (GSLA) that comes with every mounting kit.

Each kit comprises a gate gas spring force adjuster tool, mounting brackets and a GSLA, which allows the gas spring to be set to an exact length without the requirement to compress the spring.

However, with strong sales more and more users were requesting mounting information, particularly the requirement for suitable mounting brackets

Ace is therefore, now introducing two mounting kits – MKU-19 and MKU-22 – to go with their two gate gas springs. Each kits comprises a gate force adjuster tool, two alternative mounting brackets and a gas spring length adaptor, which allows the gas spring to be set to an exact length without the requirement to compress the spring.

The GSG-22 unit is suitable for gates over 750mm wide and the GSG-19 is suitable for gates under 750mm.

Used to control the opening and closing of gates in schools, parks, sports facilities and homes, often in conjunction with a security system, these gas springs provide a steady, slow and controlled opening and closing of gates.

They are supplied with a choice of closing forces- 300, 400, 500 or 800 Newtons. However, each gas spring has a gas pressure valve hidden in the stud of the body end fitting. This can be carefully vented using an adjuster knob to suit each particular application.

The body of the gate gas spring is powder-coated steel and the piston rod is ceramic coated steel. The operating fluid is nitrogen gas and oil. These units have an operating temperature range between -20°C to +80°C.

The GSG-22 unit is suitable for gates over 750mm wide and, after many customer requests for a unit for smaller gates, the GSG-19 is suitable for gates under 750mm.

Used to control the opening and closing of gates in schools, parks, sports facilities and homes, often in conjunction with a security system, these gas springs provide a steady, slow and controlled opening and closing of gates.

Both gate gas springs are self-contained, maintenance free units that can be easily fitted to metal or heavy wooden gates. They can be mounted in any position and a range of end fittings is available.
