Counterbalance Cylinder for highly dynamic applications in the Automotive Industry
The ROSS High-Speed Counterbalance Cylinders (HSC) are an excellent choice for numerous applications in the automotive industry. Renowned automotive manufacturers specifically employ our HSC cylinders in pressing and stamping processes. In these applications, the cylinders compensate for the weight of the moving tools and components by precisely controlling the cylinder pressure. This weight balance reduces machine and tool wear, consequently minimizing maintenance and replacement costs. <br><br> ROSS provides a variety of customization options for the HSC cylinders, allowing them to be tailored to specific automotive industry applications.

Why are ROSS poppet valves are ideal for use in the automotive industry?
ROSS poppet valves pop open and closed almost instantly. Surface areas of the piston poppet, the exhaust poppet and the inlet poppet are carefully calculated to produce strong shifting and sealing forces in each direction.
This results in a design, which ensures high speed, repeatability and high shifting forces over the life of the valve.
ROSS poppet valves have positive sealing with no sliding action to prevent damage and wear.
They are also self-cleaning and dirt tolerant thanks to the smallest flow-through area across the poppet’s seal and seat which produces a high-enough velocity to blow out all dirt and foreign matter.
