Controlled pushing, lifting or lowering without external energy.

Our production range covers nearly all dimensions and forces which are required for your specific application. Easylift gas springs are used anywhere in the industrial field. Besides the automobile and furniture industry, there are innumberable applications in the machinery and equipment design. We can also offer special solutions to meet the requirements in the medical and aircraft industry. The continuous production of special sizes and our extensive stock enable us to meet nearly all requirements within a remarkable short time.

You, as an engineer, have a certain problem which has to do with controlled movement and which should be solved without extra energy? Then, this website will be a big step to the solution of your problem. We support well-known companies in developing new products – please contact us! Our product engineers will answer most of your questions on the phone.

Force: 7-5000 N
Stroke: 10-1000 mm
Diameter cylinder/piston rod: 3/8 – 20/40
Push-out speed/damping:
Our gas springs are available with fast normal and slow extension speed. Regarding the damping, you can choose between normal, increased and no end damping, however, this becomes only efficient if the gas spring is mounted
with the piston rod showing downwards.

Controlled pushing, lifting and adjusting up to absolutely rigid locking in both directions.

When considerable forces influence moveable construction parts, the reliable locking is important. The piston rod of the lockable easylift gas spring can be adjusted in every required position of the whole stroke by actuating the release pin. Depending on the occuring forces in your application, we can fit your lockable easylift gas spring for different load limits in a reasonable way. In this production program, the absolutely rigid locking easylift gas spring in both directions is a worldwide recognized innovation.

The main use of the lockable gas springs of the easylift system is the independence of an external energy source, the comprehensive measures and the damped, controlled movement. Please see the 4 basic models and further function variations on our website. Or if you have the possibility you can see numerous function models in our facility. We assist you in the realisation of your projects.

Of course, lockable easylift gas springs have the same positive characteristics – low friction forces and high reliability – as the other easylift gas spring types. You will receive the lockable easylift gas springs with the requested size and force within shortest time.

The big variety of easylift gas traction springs offers "attractive" arguments for creative engineers. Controlled pulling and adjusting, also damped on request - according to your requirements.

Easylift gas traction springs are also available with your requested pull-in force and all features, e. g. end damping or length suited exactly to your application. The continuous production of special sizes and our extensive stock of components and parts enables us to meet nearly all requirements within remarkably short time, i. e. within few days or weeks.

In many technical fields, there are structural requirements which can be solved by easylift gas traction springs or lockable gas traction springs. In one respect can mechanical comprehensive force deflections be saved and a well-designed integration in the most different products is also possible.

As Bansbach easylift assists well known producers worldwide and in different branches in the development and construction of new products, we are surely able to give you advice. Contact us regarding your planned product as well as the supposed functions of movement.

Short type:
Pull-in force: 100-4000 N (depends on diameter piston rod/cylinder)
Stroke: 10-600 mm
Diameter cylinder/piston rod: 8/22, 10/28 and 14/40
Speed/damping:
The speed of gas traction spring with short construction is always fast and cannot be damped. A valve (undamped) is possible for this Type.

Long type:
Pull-in force: 50-2500 N (depends on diameter piston rod/cylinder)
Stroke: 10-200 mm
Diameter cylinder/piston rod: 6/19, 8/22, 10/28 and 14/40
Speed/damping:
Our gas springs are available with fast normal and slow extension speed. Regarding the damping, you can choose between normal, increased and no end damping, however, this becomes only efficient if the gas spring is mounted
with the piston rod showing downwards.

Lockable gas traction springs are continuously adjustable over the whole stroke. The lockable gas traction spring can be released by pushing the release pin. When the piston valve opens, gas or oil can flow through the piston and the piston rod will be inserted. Due to the high reliability, this type of spring is preferentially used for medical equipment.

Pull-in force: 100-4000 N (depends on diameter piston rod/cylinder
Locking force in push and pull direction max. 10.000 N
Stroke: 10-350 mm
Release travel: Short release possible; release travel < 1mm
Diameter piston rod/cylinder:  10/28 and 14/40
Speed/damping: normal, fast & slow

Gas springs are available with a lot of different lengths, forces and variants. They are also available in highly corrosion-resisting material.

We mostly use high-quality stainless steel material, e. g. 1.4404 (V4A i.e. AISI-no. 316L) for the production of the stainless steel gas springs. They are not only resistant to water but are commonly found in the food, chemical and salt water applications. Please note the stainless class of the available connecting parts. All gas springs of these high-quality product groups are made with valve, with the exception of P-models and traction springs with damping.

MC-Damper are used as safety and function elements in order to damp speed and to slow down masses.

MC-dampers (motion control) is the generic term for special, delaying (damping) easylift products which can be used for many different safety and operating functions.

Easylift MC-dampers slow down masses or damp speed according to the model. (They are not shock-, impact absorbers, or limit stop dampers.)

The reasonable variety of the easylift connecting parts knows only one measure... your daily experience!

For a detailed and controlled force development, you also need connecting parts which guarantee movement and force transfer in an ideal way. The comprehensive easylift range of hinge eyes, clevises, elbow joints, ball joints and metal fittings will fit nearly every mounting requirement.

Regarding connecting parts, there will, of course, be new requirements from time to time for our easylift system. If the prospective application can be solved with easylift gas springs, we will also solve the problems regarding the connecting parts.

Please note that the length of gas springs will change depending on your choice of different connecting parts. The length of the easylift gas springs is calculated as follows:

From mid boring to mid boring for hinge eyes, clevises and hinge heads
From mid ball to mid ball for elbow joints
Without connectors the thread length is not included
