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

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.

- High-quality products manufactured in compliance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and the international standard ISO/TS 16949.

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

Current Conventional Systems

Who hasn’t been there? In a tight parking spot, the door hits the car parked next to it or the garage wall. The reason: Conventional door-stays will only allow specific opening angles, determined by stamped notches or pretensioned rollers. To avoid a collision, the door must be held between two notches. Due to the unstable position of the door, accidental movement of the door is not uncommon.

Comfort and Safety while Getting in and out of the Car
Not so with DORSTOP! The hydraulic door-stay from STABILUS provides three benefits for driver and passengers: It makes doors easier to open and safely keeps them open at any angle, bringing them to a smooth stop. (End position damping).

Due to a hydraulic piston in the DORSTOP, the door can be moved with constant little effort. The variable locking function will accurately hold its positions. No more damage from the door swinging back or forward unexpectedly, even in tight parking situations. End position damping will provide safe operation of the door even in strong winds or on inclines.

DORSTOP will increase safety and comfort when getting in and out of the car.

Your Advantages at a Glance
- No knocking into other cars or walls in tight parking spaces or garages
- No more accidental door movements from sliding into other door notches
- Carefully positioning door in the notch will be a thing of the past
- No more door swing-back from opening too fast (preventing injuries)
- Safe holding of the door (dynamic holding)
- Uniform, low adjustment forces over the entire opening angle
- End position damping of the door (clearly protects the body from loads)
