What is it?
SKUDO is a unique Special SPrings solution, which protects the sealing and guiding components from liquid and solid contaminants and which eliminates situations of over pressure.
How is it made?
SKUDO is a protective plastic cap securely fixed on the top of the rod, with no alteration to the contact surface of the rod with the plate.
- Eliminates damages to guiding and sealing components caused by contaminants.
- Significantly increases the life of cylinders used in severe working enviroments.
- Does not alter the height of the cylinder.
- Does not wear out.
- Is available for all Special Springs cylinders.

What is it?
How is it made?
OSAS is the combination of an outward extension of the bush with discontinuity groove on the body-bush sealing wall.
OSAS self activates without deforming the body of the cylinder, further improving safety for users.
OSAS is the combination of a deformable body skirt with discontinuity groove on the body-bottom plate sealing wall.
OSAS self activates without causing structural damages to the cylinder, further improving safety for users.
OSAS are discontinuity grooves on the body-piston sealing wall.
OSAS self activates without deforming the body of the cylinder, further improving safety for users.
- - Exhausts pressure in a controlled and complete mode, when the cylinder has been overstroked.
- - Reduces the risk of tool damage or injury due to ejection of parts under pressure.
- - Self activates automatically regardless of users’ intervention.
- - Does not increase the cost of the cylinders.
What is it?
How is it made?
USAS is the combination of a deformable part of the bushing in contact with the retaining C-ring and the discontinuities on the wall of contact of the body-bush seal.
USAS self activates without causing structural damages to the cylinder, further improving safety for users.
USAS is the combination of a deformable part of the bushing in contact with the retaining C-ring and the discontinuities on the wall of contact of the body-bush seal.
USAS self activates without causing structural damages to the cylinder, further improving safety for users.
USAS is the combination of a deformable part of the bushing in contact with the retaining C-ring and the discontinuities on the wall of contact of the piston seal.
USAS self activates without causing structural damages to the cylinder, further improving safety for users.
- - Exhausts pressure in a controlled and complete manner when the cylinder has been stressed by uncontrolled returns
- - Reduces the risk of tool damage or injury due to ejection of parts under pressure.
- - Self activates automatically regardless of users’ intervention.
- - Does not increase the cost of the cylinders.
What is it?
OPAS is either the combination of a rupture septum or a rupture plug positioned in the bottom of the cylinders, with an exhaust milling on the bottom contact surface.
- - Exhausts the pressure in a controlled and complete manner when it exceeds the maximum value allowed.
- - Reduces the risk of tool damage or injury due to ejection of parts under pressure.
- - Self activates automatically regardless of users’ intervention.
- - Does not increase the cost of the cylinders.
The design and manufacturing of Special Springs’ gas cylinders are in full compliance with the European regulations for high pressure vessels, in accordance with directive PED 97/23/EC.
