Design and functionality of lockable gas springs.
The VARILOCK working principle.
Features of lockable gas springs.
1
Tube diameter
Gas springs are hydropneumatic adjustment components. They consist of a
gas pressurized tube together with a piston rod and piston. The piston is fitted
with a valve that is actuated by the release pin. When the valve is shut, the gas
spring does not move, thus providing locking in the desired position. Depending
on the pressure medium, this locking feature can be either rigid or elastic.
The locking behavior of the EL1, EL2, VOB24 and VOB28 gas springs are elastic
in both extension and compression. This is achieved by filling the gas spring
with compressible nitrogen (see page 16 for details).
Pressure
tube
The rigid-locking HY1, HY3, HY4, HY6, VOB18-1 and VOB18-3 gas springs
have separated gas and oil chambers. Depending on the arrangement of these
chambers, locking behavior will be rigid in either the compression or extension
direction (see page 17 for details).
SUSPA’s engineering know-how comes into its own in the valve design. High
precision mechanics are used to implement a wide variety of special functions
(see pages 14-15 for details). The end result is not just a gas spring, but an
intelligent system that constitutes a tremendous amount of added value to a
customer’s application!

Installation

Type of locking.
Rigid locking in extension (VARILOCK HY1 and HY3) is
used when a cushioning effect in the locking position is not
desired – for example, for safety reasons. Rigid locking in
compression (VARILOCK HY4, HY6, VOB18-1 and VOB18-3)
is recommended for light weight applications that are
subject to high compression forces when locked and
require no movement. The VOB18-1, VOB18-3 and HY6
are ideal for applications that require a short installation
length and a large stroke. Elastic-locking gas springs
VARILOCK EL1, EL2, VOB24 and VOB28 are recommended
when the locking feature is required to have a cushioning
effect. Sudden jolted loads can thus be dampened or
even completely avoided. This type of gas springs should
be mounted with the piston rod pointing downwards.
The VARILOCK VOB24 and VOB28 are both suitable for
applications where the release mechanism is installed at
the upper fixing point (see pages 16-17 for details).

The valve in a locking gas spring is actuated via the
release pin. To ensure successful compatibility with
your application, SUSPA has developed a wide range of
release systems. These include levers, cable releases and
push-buttons that are all adjusted and customized to
each application. Details can be found on pages 18-19.
Forces.
The gas spring’s extension force depends on the filling
pressure. When the VARILOCK is being manufactured,
the force is set at the nominal value F1 and remains
unchanged over the service life of the gas spring. The
locking feature is released when the VARILOCK’s valve
is opened. This is a result of the user applying an activation force on the release pin. Once the user lets off
the control element, the internal gas pressure causes a
resetting force closing the valve again automatically.
The actuation force and the resetting force both depend
on the filling pressure of the gas spring and are proportional to the VARILOCK’s extension force.

Special functions.
Special functions.
AntiShock AS: Comfort and safety combined.
OverRide OR: Smooth extension without actuation.
The „AntiShock” module detects the load situation of the application and acts
accordingly. When used in an office chair with dynamic free-swinging, the VARILOCK
with AntiShock provides the user with smooth moving action (comfort function). In
addition, it will return the non-loaded backrest slowly from the reclined to the vertical
position when released. Thus it will avoid the so-called catapult effect
(safety function).
The „OverRide“ module allows a person to move the application
in the extension direction without having to activate the release
function. In the case of desk or table applications, a gentle
upwards force applied to the tabletop adjusts the height of the
table. Once the desired position has been achieved, locking in the
compression direction is rigid.
In the case of height-adjustable tables which have a low intrinsic weight but are sub­­jected to high loads when in use (VARILOCK with a high extension force), the VARILOCK
allows a quick height adjustment of the loaded table and, thanks to AntiShock, also
prevents the tabletop rising up too quickly when the empty, unloaded table is released.
EasySwitch ES: Locking that can be switched on and off.
„No
catapult
effect“
Anti-Schock
CushyRelease CH / CL: Optimal user comfort combined with maximum reliability.
With the „EasySwitch“ module, the user controls the valve
„digitally”, alternating between the closed and permanently
open position and back again. You switch between the two
modes by activating the pin through the release mechanism.
By using „CushyRelease“, the VARILOCK is adaptable to the
specific requirements of any application in order to provide
the greatest user comfort combined with maximum reliability.
With EasySwitch, the valve stays either open (swinging
function) or closed (locked backrest) as per the user’s settings.
„Ballpoint pen
principle“
TimeReset TR: Automatic return.
The „TimeReset“ automatically detects whether the application is charged with a person’s weight or not. When loaded,
the VARILOCK operates in the usual manner and permits locking at any position. When the application is not loaded, the
VARILOCK returns it to the starting position (vertical backrest)
within a custom defined time period.
TimeReset is particularly well-suited for passenger seats or
conference chairs.
14
www.suspa.com
OverRide provides smooth, comfortable operation and was first
designed for use in hospital beds and over-bed tables. It also
allows for single-hand operation of the application.
„Automatic
return“
A user-friendly release system generally means that the actua­
tion force required to use the control element (e.g. bowden
cable, button, lever) is as low as possible. At the same time,
functional reliability demands a sufficiently high resetting
force to be present. Conventional valve arrangements (Standard
Release) can only successfully fulfill these two competing
demands when moderate extension forces are present. SUSPA
will provide advice and support regarding the optimization
of your application (see the following examples).
Example 1: CushyRelease Low CL:
The gas spring has a large extension
force AH and Standard Release (black
graph) to meet the demand of the
application. This results in an
actuation force BH that is too high
for the user. This operating point is
above the comfort zone (the blue
region). CushyRelease Low provides
optimal user comfort by combining
a reduced actuation force (BC, orange
graph) at the same extension force.
Example 2: CushyRelease High CH:
The gas spring has a low extension force AL and Standard
Release (black graph) to meet the demand of the application.
This results in a resetting force RL that provides insufficient
reliability and is below the secure zone (blue region).
CushyRelease High delivers maximum reliability thanks to
an increased resetting force (RC, green graph) at the same
extension force.

Environment.
Our quality.
Quality is the most important goal.
Our quality and environmental policies.
Long-term success can only be achieved with
customers who are really satisfied. With a goal
of complete customer satisfaction in mind, we
strive for a corporate culture that is guided by
the following basic principles:
1. Quality is judged by the customer.
In our competitive business environment, our
customers are always free to choose between
many different suppliers. For this reason, our
company can only be successful if its customers
are satisfied. We recognize that it is not us but
rather our customers who decide how quality is
to be measured!
2. Quality doesn’t tolerate mistakes.
The quality of our products is only as good
as the quality of our everyday work. We work
towards zero-tolerance of errors and defects
by implementing preventative fault-avoidance
measures, carrying out systematic investigation
of the causes of faults, and striving to improve
results. Our motto is: “Get it right first time!”
3. We care for the environment!
We want to maintain and improve our quality
of life. With this in mind, we protect the environ­
ment against any possible negative side-effects
of our business operations, fulfill all legal obligations, and provide a safe and healthy working
environment for our employees. Our product
development is always carried out with the
22
www.suspa.com
environment and the preservation of natural
resources in mind. Our production processes are
designed to leave as little of an environmental
footprint as possible, and we strive to ensure
that our products are as environmentally friendly
as possible.
4. Every single employee is responsible
for quality, environmental protection and
occupational safety.
Quality, environmental protection and safety in
the workplace are not issues that can be assigned
to a few specialists – they are the responsibility
of every single employee! Each one of us contributes to company’s future.
5. Partnership is important to us.
We actively involve our suppliers and business
partners in our quality and environmental
activities. So we provide our clients with a firstclass service.
Excellent functioning behavior in all
applications, long service life and relia­
bility are a result of the SUSPA’s forwardlooking Quality Management Systems, in
line with DIN EN ISO 9001. Our VARILOCK
gas springs meet the highest demands
placed by our international clients.
Our quality and testing procedures ensure
that our products meet the dimensions,
surface finishes and functionality specified.
The VARILOCK ‘s core functions such as
output and locking forces go through a
100% computer–controlled testing pro­
cedure.
Effective quality management – starting at
purchasing, continuing through development, design, production and sales,
running right up to the final application
– strengthens our already excellent
reputation and guarantees the reliability
of our gas springs, no matter where in
the world they are in use!
Our goal is to produce gas springs that
are defect free. Our world wide success is
testimony to our quality commitment.
Environmental management system.
We provide quality while at the same time
respecting our environment thanks to
our environmental protection system in
accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001:2005
that we have voluntarily implemented. We
make an effort to make the most efficient
use of our materials and processes thereby
reducing the impact on the environment.
This provides the basis for environmental
sustainability for our people and products.
6. Continuous improvement.
Optimization and innovation with regards to
processes and production ensure that we con­­tinuously improve in all areas; they also mean
that we can achieve positive financial results
for ourselves and for our shareholders. Team­
work makes us much stronger than simply the
sum of each employee’s individual contribution.
„SUSPA – Always one step ahead!“
