Measures against overstressing of hinges in bar and kitchen furniture
For his carpentry exam, an aspiring master carpenter created TV/bar furniture in which the bar element is provided with a rotatable 90° bar hatch. FYN-U1 rotary dampers from ACE make opening and closing the hatch easier, but also protect it against overloading of the end positions. The brakes also prevent fingers becoming trapped. The so-called limited rotary dampers still find sufficient working angle up to a maximum of 115°. For other cases, ACE has fully rotational rotary dampers available.
Industrial Gas Springs – Push Type - GS-8 to GS-70
Motion control weatherproof furniture
As a specialist in disposal containers for public spaces, ROBI AG from Switzerland offers cities and municipalities high-quality park benches. These remain dry when not in use because the seats fold up automatically. For this solution called “BANKOMAT“, they turned to the ACE gas spring team after internet research. After the design via software on the homepage of ACE and practical tests on site, the industrial gas springs of the type GS-19-250 with an extension force of 100 Newton, which can be filled customer-specifically via valve, proved to be ideal for the speed regulation and optimally suitable for the high-quality construction.

Slide Bar with soft gliding and damping sliding mechanism
Carpenter Dominik Huber has created a “Slide Bar“ as a masterpiece. This is also characterised by the cube that slides upwards and to the side and serves as a bar. To make this function as smooth and safe as possible, he relies on an industrial gas spring from ACE. With a diameter of 28 mm and a stroke of 650 mm, it supports the muscle power of the operator in interaction with a heavy-duty rail, which is also concealed, and contributes to the high-quality impression by gliding smoothly and effortlessly. Dominik Huber and his masterpiece received additional valuable support from the customised service provided by ACE in Austria.
Low Freq. Pneumatic Levelling Mounts - PLM
Vibration Control in the high-end audio range
For pristine sound, a manufacturer of hi-fi amplifiers relies on air springs from ACE. This effectively eliminates disruptive ambient vibrations that enter the demonstration room from a neighbouring workshop and disturb the listening experience. The PLM-1 air springs, which have a low natural frequency of 3 Hz, are used as a bearing in the hi-fi rack for decoupling. ACE was able to prove the effectiveness measurably with the company's own app VibroChecker PRO. In the meantime, the manufacturer offers the high-end amplifiers optionally with the air springs and the app from ACE to the end customers.
