Thus, STABILUS offers the largest product line of gas springs and dampers worldwide. The high degree of standardization in parts, modules, and production processes guarantees the highest level of competitiveness.
      • Non-Locking - Gas Springs

      • LIFT-O-MAT Gas Spring

        Gas Spring for Lifting, Lowering, Moving, and Adjusting

        STABILUS gas pressure springs in the LIFT-O-MAT line are used whenever loads need to be lifted or lowered in a controlled manner. They provide force assist and thus ensure optimum weight equalization. With LIFT-O-MAT, opening and closing doors and lids becomes child’s play. Its damping properties ensure safe and user-friendly motion sequences.

        Properties and Function

        The LIFT-O-MAT gas spring is a hydropneumatic adjustment element consisting of a pressure tube, piston rod with piston, as well as a suitable end fitting. It is filled with nitrogen, which, under constant pressure, acts on piston cross sections of different sizes, creating a force in the extension direction. This force can be accurately specified through the individual fill pressure.

        Among the advantages of this gas spring – compared with a mechanical spring – are its defined speed curve and excellent damping properties, which make handling even heavy lids and doors comfortable. Ease of mounting, compact dimensions, a flat spring characteristic curve, and a very broad selection of available strengths and end fittings round out the positive overall picture.

        Advantages

        - Broad selection of sizes, force variants, and end fittings
        - Compact design, small space requirement
        - Fast and easy assembly
        - Flat spring characteristic curve; i.e., low force increase, even for high forces or large strokes
        - Linear, progressive, or degressive spring characteristic curve
        - Variable locking mechanism (product-specific)
        - End position lock (extended and compressed)
        - Additional functions, such as electric switches, stop function, etc. can be integrated
      • Locking Gas Springs

      • BLOC-O-LIFT Gas Spring

        Variable Positioning, Rigid or Elastic Locking Gas Spring

        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.

        Your Advantages

        - Variable positioning with elastic or rigid locking
        - Optimized weight compensation during lifting, lowering, opening, and closing
        - Lock into position in the extended or compressed position
        - Installation can be orientation-specific or in any orientation, depending on type
        - Flat spring characteristic curve for low force increase, even with high forces or large strokes.
        - Linear, progressive, or degressive spring characteristic curve
        - Mechanical actuation systems, also with an extra small actuation range for easiest operation
        - Broad selection of sizes, force variants, and end fittings
        - Compact design for installation in the smallest of spaces
        - Maintenance-free, even at high loads, with long service life
        - High-quality products manufactured in compliance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and the international standard ISO/TS 16949.
      • Swivel Chairs Gas Springs

      • STAB-O-MAT Gas Springs for Comfortable Height Adjustment

        Height Adjustment in Swivel Chairs for Demanding Applications

        STAB-O-MAT is a locking gas spring, designed especially for variable, comfortable seat height adjustment of office swivel chairs, task chairs, executive chairs, and stools.

        Function

        Swivel chairs with STAB-O-MAT make working comfortable. Pleasantly dampened, they feature variable height adjustment and gently absorb the weight of the occupant.

        This is made possible by the patented double cylinder system, consisting of a pressure tube and a guide tube. The self-supporting pressure tube is designed to allow bending moments, for example if the load on the seat is not centered.

        An additional variant of the STAB-O-MAT gas spring is the STAB-O-BLOC with non-self-supporting pressure tube. The difference: An outer support tube absorbs the bending moments. The gas pressure spring provides spring force and damping for the seat and is used to adjust the height.

        Properties and Advantages
        • Available as complete columns or individual gas springs
        • Available in different lengths and with strokes of 50 to 300 mm
        • Swiveling and non-swiveling versions
        • Complete columns with different outer tube versions
        • Different depth spring action systems for more comfortable seating
        • Adjustable tappet projection
        • Different actuation systems
      • Dampers
