Description
Fits universally for vehicles with MacPherson suspension strut and damper strut axles, especially for all-wheel vehicles and vans as Citroën Jumper; Fiat Ducato; Mercedes Vito, V-Klasse, M-Klasse, W210 4Matic; Peugeot Boxer, Break; Renault Master etc.
The use of special jaws will also enable coil springs mounted to wishbone suspensions to be removed and installed if space conditions allow.
Including spring retainer pairs size 1 and 2 for a spring diameter of 85 mm (inside) - 170 mm (outside).
Further spring retainers for spring diameters of 60 (inside) - 205 (outside) available.
Maximum load capacity 27 500 N (in case of the prescribed 4-fold safety, the maximum load capacity of the spring retainer is with 27 500 N!)
The universal spring retainer,
• with which the minimum spanner size (opening width) is adjustable to 40 mm and the maximum to 361 mm due to a grid system.
This is important when tensioning very short springs (2 - 3 spring coils) and in case of very long springs, in order to completely release or renew them.
• where the forged spring retainers are fixed with a bajonet lock system with automatic lock (tools, screws and screw rings are not needed).
• where the spindle drive stays closed, when the locking pin shears off.
The compressed spring can then be released via an auxiliary drive, in order to install a new locking pin.
• where a spindle overload during the release process when the maximum operating stroke is reached, is prevented by an automatic free-wheel.
Important to avoid damage to the spring retainer.
• with plastic protective inserts that can be screwed with the spring retainers in order to protect the spring paint surface.
Important to avoid spring fractures due to notch and corrosion effects.
• which can be used on nearly all MacPherson suspension strut axles, damper strut axles and in part on some wishbone axles due to a large spring retainer assortment.
Due to the interaction of high-precision individual components and the use of wear-resistant nitriding steel, the compressor cylinder works very smoothly and nearly without any wear.
For example, tensioning of a Mercedes M-Class spring with a block force of approx. 18 000 N, only requires a driving force of 35 Nm.
Advantages:
• Simple handling regardless of large forces
• Spring retainer attachment with automatic engagement
• Adjustment of spanner sizes
• Drive with additional auxiliary drive
• Automatic free-wheel of the spindle
• Can be also used for conical springs
• Plastic protective inserts included
