F145 GAS SPRINGS - INSTALLATION GUIDELINES To achieve the best possible service-life and safety from the gas spring, the directions below must be followed. Mounting instructions  Secure the gas spring to the tool/machine whenever possible, using the threaded hole(s) in the base of the gas spring or a suitable flange. Never exceed the maximum torque values for the threads in the base of the gas spring: (M6 = 10 Nm; M8 = 24 Nm; M10 = 45 Nm; M12 = 80 Nm)  The threaded hole in the piston rod top should not be used for mounting purposes. It is only to be used when carrying and servicing the gas spring.  Do not use the gas spring in such a way that the piston rod is realised freely from its compressed position, as this could cause internal damage to the gas spring.r).  Make sure the gas spring is mounted parallel to the direction of the compression stroke.  Ensure the contact surface of the piston rod top is perpendicular to the direction of the compression stroke and is sufficiently hardened.  The gas spring should not be subjected to the side loads.  Protect the piston rod against mechanical damage and contact with fluids.  We recommend providing a stroke reserve of 10% of the nominal stroke length or 5 mm.  The maximum charging pressure as a function of the working temperature must not be exceeded as it may effect the safety of the product.  Exceeding the gas spring's recommended operating temperature will shorten the service-life of the gas spring.  The entire contact surface of the piston rod / piston should be used.  Do not remove bottom 2480./2497.00.20. from spring until all gas pressure has been discharged.
