An alternative to gas springs in dies

Bean Force works very well with mechanical springs or elastomers: it delivers high forces even where gas springs are best avoided.

When gas springs are not the preferred choice

Gas springs offer a lot of force in a small space, but in some applications – owing to company policy or workplace safety – they are best avoided. For the same force, however, mechanical springs and elastomers require a much larger envelope.

Mechanical springs and elastomers, with multiplied force

With Bean Force the force of a mechanical spring or elastomer is multiplied up to 10 times, reaching the required values without gas springs.

Comparison

Solution	Strengths	Limitations
Gas spring	High force in a small space	Not always preferred in every environment
Mechanical spring / elastomer	Simple and robust	Large envelope for high forces
Mechanical spring + Multiplier	Force up to 10×	Compact envelope, no gas

FAQs

Can I remove gas springs from the die?

In many applications, yes: the Multiplier achieves high forces starting from mechanical springs or elastomers. Feasibility is assessed die by die.

What multiplication factor can be achieved?

Up to 10×, depending on the required force and the space available in the die.
