DADCO was the first company to produce top quality self-contained nitrogen gas springs at a competitive price and with superior customer service. Founded in 1958, DADCO is now the highest volume producer of gas springs for press tools.
DADCO manufactures a variety of gas springs in force models from 10 lb. to 22 tons of force on contact. Sizes range from 1/2 " to 6" in diameter. DADCO gas springs may be operated as self-contained or linked. When operated as a linked system, adjustment, monitoring, draining and refilling can be performed from outside the die. DADCO offers a variety of accessories including hose, fittings and control panels that are used to connect gas springs together as a linked system. Contact DADCO for more information. Through extensive testing and field experience, DADCO has proven to manufacture reliable, low maintenance nitrogen gas springs. DADCO's exclusive One Year/One Million Stroke Gold Guarantee™ backs the Micro Series, LJ Series (90.7), Compact High Tonnage 90.9 Series and the Large 90.10/90.5B Series nitrogen gas springs. DADCO offers a 2 year / 2 million stroke Select Guarantee™ on the L Series (90.3) nitrogen gas springs. Contact DADCO to request more information on either guarantee.
