BLOC-O-LIFT Gas Spring

Variable Positioning, Rigid or Elastic Locking Gas Spring – Pneumatic

Flaps and lids can be very heavy and hard to operate by hand. Chairs and desks must be adapted to the body height of the individual user to take ergonomic aspects into consideration. In these cases, gas springs from STABILUS will provide optimum weight equalization and user-friendly motion sequences during opening, closing, and positioning. Our products in the BLOC-O-LIFT line are also available with variable locking, either rigid or elastic in the direction of tension or compression, depending on the desired setup.
Function
A special piston / valve system, which separates the two pressure chambers in the spring, allows effortless variable locking. If the valve tappet is released from the outside and the exchange between the pressure chambers is interrupted, the gas spring will lock and hold even heavy loads reliably in the desired position. With the valve open, the linear spring characteristic curve of the BLOC-O-LIFT will provide an even increase in force over the entire range of motion.
Solutions for Every Requirement
Our standard product line offers a broad selection of locking gas springs and, thus, always the right product for any installation situation.
With our long-term expertise as pioneers in the production of gas springs, we will also be happy to support you as a development partner. Together, we will develop the right solution for your individual requirements.
