How to Order

You can find the corresponding gas spring for each HDP model in the tables below. For full ordering  instructions, please refer to our HDP Order Guide Brochure.

If you would like additional help, feel free to Contact Us with any questions!

 

*Please Note: 

• The HDP adds an additional 10mm to the top of the piston rod of the gas spring.
• If the gas spring is flange mounted, a Flange Adapter (HDPF) must be used. See ordering information in the table below or the HDP Order Guide Brochure.

Optimizing Hot Stamping Operations

Hot stamping, a transformative process revolutionized the fabrication of lightweight, high-strength components crucial for safety, lightweighting, and fuel efficiency in the automotive industry. This method, also known as press hardening or hot press forming, involves stamping and metallurgical heat-treating sheet metal, especially high-strength steel like Boron steel (22MnB5). To enhance the efficiency of hot stamping operations, KALLER introduces a groundbreaking solution – hot stamping with Gas Springs, fortified by Heavy Duty Protection (HDP) Covers.

 

The Hot Stamping Landscape Overview

Hot stamping's evolution, primarily focused on low-carbon manganese Boron alloyed steel, has expanded to higher carbon grades with advanced coatings. The process demands specialized equipment, including roller hearth furnaces, die cooling systems, etc. Its advantages, such as superior strength, reduced defects, and the ability to tailor material properties, make hot stamping indispensable for producing components like A-pillars, B-pillars, bumper beams, and more.

 

Challenges in Hot Stamping Operations

However, the hot stamping environment poses challenges, particularly in maintaining the longevity of Gas Springs because of contaminants like scale, dust, and debris. This is where KALLER's hot stamping with Gas Springs solution comes into play.

KALLER®'s Hot Stamping with Gas Springs Solution

Protection Against Contaminants: HDP Covers

Heavy Duty Protection (HDP) Covers offer robust protection against the harsh conditions found in hot stamping operations. These covers protect Gas Springs from a variety of contaminants such as dirt, dust, and even corrosive scale. The unique design of the HDP Covers ensures complete protection in hot stamping operations, including the quenching process.

 

Longer Lifespan, Consistent Performance

The HDP Covers shield Gas Springs from contaminations and contribute to significantly increasing their lifespan in extremely dirty environments such as hot stamping. This increased durability ensures the reliable performance of Gas Springs, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

 

Designing a Cost-effective Hot Stamping Tool

HDPs are designed for seamless integration into hot stamping setups. The HDP Covers fit without needing modifications to the Gas Spring, and an upper Flange adapter can be easily added. The solution is versatile, compatible with various mounting options, and adds 10 mm to the length of the Gas Spring. Hot stamping operations equipped with the HDP - Gas Springs combination are more reliable and consistent, contributing to savings on replacement and maintenance costs.

 

Ensure Optimal Performance and Longevity

In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive manufacturing, hot stamping is a cornerstone for producing high-strength, lightweight components. Hot stamping with Gas Springs, fortified by the innovative HDP Covers, addresses the challenges of the harsh hot stamping environment. By ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of Gas Springs, KALLER contributes to the seamless and efficient operation of hot stamping processes, furthering the industry's pursuit of lightweighting, safety, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
