Choice and application of gas springs
Why use gas
springs?
Gas springs provide
a more uniform,
comfortable
adjustment or
pivoting movement
than mechanical
springs.
They can be used
for all applications:
trunk and gate
lifts, bus, truck
and aircraft
cargo, truck bed
covers, industrial
and agricultural
equipment, chairs,
hospital beds,
service panels,
windows and more.
Customization
of gas springs is
available if required
(minimum quantities
may apply).
Gas springs are
maintenance free!
Dimensions according
to choice
STABILUS
gas springs
STABILUS offers an extremely wide range of
gas spring types, which vary in respect of
their external dimensions, speed curves and
extension variants, and invariably meet the
most stringent requirements. A large selection is included in the STABILUS standard
product range and can be delivered at
short notice.
Service life and maintenance
Gas springs are maintenance-free! They are
designed to specific requirements and
operate for years and years without failure
when properly installed. Also for particularly high numbers of load alterations
special sealing systems are available which
allow e.g. specific gas springs in swivel
chairs to withstand up to one million load
cycles without damage.

Installation instructions
Twist-free connection
For maximum service life, gas springs
should not be exposed to twists or lateral
forces. Suitable connection fittings, e.g.
angle joints, can be used for the twist-free
connection of the gas springs.

Spring Blocking
Gas Spring
•Can be blocked in any position by two different
methods rigid in extension or rigid in compression.
Rigid Blocking

• Resilient blocking is ideal for smooth dampening of
shocks, impacts or pulse-peak loads.
•May be suitable for continuous release applications,
if required.
