Low Pressure Long Life
Xela’s innovative design delivers performance and requirements that are unique in the gas spring industry. Engineered to enhance performance, safety, and durability, the Xela design allows for operation at lower pressures than industry standards, while maintaining the same dimensions and guaranteeing equal or even superior forces.
- reduces the heat generated by friction
- increases the service life of the components
- allows for increased operating speeds
- reduces pressure during compression phases
- prevents unwanted fluids from entering the compression chamber
- relieves internal pressure in the event of overstroke
- prevents and manages uncontrolled returns of moving elements
The special design prevents fluids from entering the compression chamber, avoiding overpressure issues typical of conventional gas springs. To protect end users, Xela employs safety systems that activate in three specific cases: when the stroke exceeds the design value (OVERSTROKE), in the event of excessive gas pressure (OVERPRESSURE), and in the presence of uncontrolled return of the moving element. For each of these potentially harmful and dangerous situations, Xela provides at least two safety systems operating in tandem, ensuring maximum reliability.

Only With Xela - OWX Factors
OWX – Only With Xela
It identifies a series of factors—exclusive by design or patent-protected—that cannot be replicated and are not present in any gas springs currently available on the market:
1. Low initial pressure → with the option to increase it to achieve forces equivalent to those of a larger-sized gas spring;
2. Higher performance → compared to gas springs on the market, with the same dimensions and 30% lower pressures, initial forces are 5-10% higher;
3. Active protection → which prevents the ingress of contaminant fluids, thanks to the protection of the sliding seals and an internal pressure that is always higher than atmospheric pressure, p>patm;
4. Distributed force → over a large contact surface, equal to the diameter of the gas spring;
5. Overpressure → inhibited by a safety valve that operates without the need to stop the die; coming soon;
6. Top mounting — direct spring fastening without the need for flanges: lower costs and reduced footprint;
7. Final pressure compensation → with Xela MiTis series, there is a lower force increase during the compression phase, resulting in reduced stress and lower consumption;
8. CAB → Clever Automatic Block: signals anomalous strokes before major collisions occur. it is capable of generating a force peak that does not compromise the equipment but is sufficient for detection by measurement and production control instruments (e.g., strain gauges);
9. Overstroke → effective after just a single cycle, it relieves internal pressure;
10. Locking → rod locking with a mechanical stop that prevents its ejection.
