ComfortRelease CH/CL
Optimum user comfort combined with maximum reliability
By using "ComfortRelease" the locking gas spring can be adapted to the specific requirement of any release system in order to provide the greatest user comfort combined with maximum reliability. The lowest possible activation force on the control unit (Bowden cable, button, lever...) is all that is required for optimum user comfort of the release system. At the same time, a valve resetting force of sufficient strength must be present to carry out the resetting function. Conventional valve arrangements (standard release) can only successfully fulfil these two competing demands when moderate extension forces are present. We shall be pleased to advise you on how to optimise your application (see the following examples).
Example 1: ComfortRelease Low CL:
in this case a gas spring with a high application-based extension force AH and standard release (black graph) has an excessive actuation force BH for the user. This operating point is outside the comfort zone m (blue area). ComfortRelease provides optimum user comfort by combining a reduced actuation force for the same extension force.Example 2: ComfortRelease High CH:
in this case a gas spring with a low application-based extension force AH and standard release (black graph) has an excessively low resetting force RN for the user (reliability not guaranteed), outside the optimum zone (blue area). ComfortRelease High delivers maximum reliability thanks to an increased resetting force for the same extension force.
