Stabilus, the world market leader in the design and manufacture of gas springs and hydraulic motion control dampers, introduces the Lift-O-Mat.
The rigid locking effect of Stabilus' rigid locking BLOC-O-LIFT is obtained when the gas spring is filled with oil, which is a non-compressible liquid.
This allows for rigid locking in either a tensile or compression direction, even when the gas spring is subjected to greater external forces.
For position-independent locking, rigid locking BLOC-O-LIFT gas springs are equipped with a separating piston that separates the gas and oil chambers.
All BLOC-O-LIFT gas springs are an effective means for raising loads with an accurately tuned extension force and application-specific dampening, while ensuring user-friendly movement.
Gas springs are a proven method of counterbalancing covers and objects.
They offer ideal capabilities for safely lifting, lowering, and positioning heavy or cumbersome objects.
More versatile than mechanical springs, gas springs offer the advantages of speed-controlled dampening, cushioned end motion, simple mounting, compact size, flat force curve and a wide range of available forces.
