Tooling Update

The model SLN.180 Micro Nitrogen Gas Lifter from Dadco, Plymouth, MI, provides an all-in-one approach to guided-lift applications. The lifter—with a 50-mm-dia. body—has a keyed guide rod to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for additional guiding components.

Complete with a built-in dampening device, the SLN.180 is ideal for progressive dies, and is available with basic and slotted guide-rod options for single, multi-point or rail-lift operations. Dadco’s Micro 180 gas spring, housed inside the guide rod, provides reliable lifting force and facilities rapid, simple repair, according to company officials. The lifter provides on-contact forces ranging from 88 to 450 lb. and is available with stroke lengths from 25 to 125 mm. It comes standard with a keyed narrow-flange mount.
