Gas Spring
CS2 series: BDC lock function type
CS2 series (locking cylinder)
Controllable Nitrogen Gas Spring Tanker Cylinder with Bottom Dead Center (BDC) Locking
A high-performance model that realizes blank holder holding and forming process timing control
●Two locking methods available
Standard Lock: Maximum 1mm return
Positive Lock (CS2+PS): Zero springback achieved by linking with PS passive spring
A high-performance model that realizes blank holder holding and forming process timing control
●Two locking methods available
Standard Lock: Maximum 1mm return
Positive Lock (CS2+PS): Zero springback achieved by linking with PS passive spring
1. Gas spring that can be locked at BDC (bottom dead center)
When the press reaches the bottom dead center, the piston rod is locked in that position.
The lock is controlled by a valve at the bottom of the gas spring and compressed air (minimum 4 bar).
2. Return stroke is controlled by air pressure
Cylinder return is controlled by releasing the pressure
When the valve is opened, gas flows between the upper and lower chambers, and the rod returns to its original position.
3. Use: Holding blank holder during molding
Holds the blank holder at the bottom dead center position to prevent deformation
When you want to temporarily fix a molded part to make it easier to transport.
(It allows for "holding timing control" that is not possible with normal gas springs.)
4. Two types of locking systems
●Standard Lock
Springback of up to 1mm occurs
Practical locking performance sufficient for many applications
Full stroke use is required (ensuring locking accuracy)
●Positive Lock System (CS2+PS)
Connect CS2 and PS (Passive Spring) with a valve block
Achieves 0mm (zero) springback
Used in areas where precise holding is required
5. CS2 Series Specifications
Four models: 1500/3000/5000/7500
Contact force: 1.6 to 8.4 tons
Stroke: 4mm to 160mm
This is an extremely wide setting range that can accommodate complex press forming.

6. Operating Principle
Nitrogen gas chamber with two upper and lower chambers (Upper/Lower Chamber)
Non-return valve (Gas flow control) inside the piston rod
Bottom-located Normally-Open (NO) cartridge valve
● Locking operation
1. When reaching bottom dead center
2. The valve closes
3. Gas backflow is suppressed and the rod cannot return → Lock complete
●Unlock operation
1. Open the valve
2. Gas flows between the upper and lower chambers
3. The rod returns to its original position.
7. Examples of CS2 Series Applications
Temporarily fix the blank holder to "press the blank locally to improve forming accuracy"
Baby blank holder and pad control
Controlling the timing of removal without crushing the molded product
Pad extension and fixing when multiple processes are performed with one press stroke
(Example: Two-stage molding achieved in one stroke)
