Dirty Environments & Gas Springs

Hot Stamping (press hardening or hot press forming) higher strength steels has been somewhat of a trend with benefits like potentially reducing the weight of pressed parts and can be seen in OEM Standards. It has been a viable solution to protect battery packs in Electric Vehicles, or EVs.

Naturally, hot stamping comes with a dirty & dusty environment- resulting in a shorter life of Gas Springs from the dust.

Fortunately, KALLER has a simple solution to protecting Gas Springs from dirty environments to double their lifetime:
