Elastic Locking Gas Spring

Elastic Locking Gas Spring

Elastic Locking Gas Spring, also known as an elastic locking gas strut or elastic locking gas lift, is a specialized type of locking gas spring that combines the functions of a traditional gas spring with an internal mechanism for automatically locking in position. This locking mechanism allows the lockable gas spring to securely hold a specific position without the need for continuous external force.

When the elastic locking gas spring is extended or compressed to a predetermined point, the internal locking mechanism engages, keeping the locking gas strut in place. To adjust the position, a deliberate force needs to be applied to release the locking mechanism, allowing the locking gas strut to be moved to a new position.

The locking function is made possible by a special piston / valve system which creates a leak-proof separation between the two pressure chambers in the gas spring. With the valve open, locking gas spring will provide force assist, ensuring user-friendly motion sequences due to its predefined damping characteristics. When the valve is closed, the gas spring will lock with a slight bounce in the desired position.The standard locking gas spring is filled with gas and should be installed with the piston rod pointing down.

Elastic locking gas spring of barber chair, awould be used to facilitate the adjustable height and locking of the chair. This locking gas strut would allow the barber chair to be smoothly lifted and lowered to the desired height, providing comfort for both the barber and the client. Additionally, the locking feature would secure the chair in place at the chosen height, preventing accidental adjustments during the haircut or grooming session.

Elastic Locking Gas Springs Installation Dimensions

Elastic Locking Gas Spring Advantages:

• Variable elastic locking and optimized weight compensation during lifting, lowering, opening, and closing.
• Comfortable bouncing and damping of shocks, impacts, or sudden peak loads.
• Flat spring characteristic curve; i.e., low force increase even for high forces or large strokes.
• Compact design for installation in small spaces.
• Easy mounting due to a variety of end fitting option.

The advantages of using elastic locking gas springs in these applications include:

• Adjustability: Passengers and drivers can customize their seating positions for maximum comfort during extended periods of travel.
• Stability: The locking mechanism prevents unintentional movements, ensuring that the seat remains securely positioned even on bumpy roads or tracks.
• Reduced Fatigue: The ability to lock the seat in a comfortable position reduces fatigue for passengers and drivers, enhancing their overall experience.
• Safety: Securely locked seats contribute to a safer travel environment by minimizing the risk of sudden seat adjustments that could distract the driver or compromise passenger safety.

Elastic Locking Gas Spring Application

Gas springs by Gastac Gas Spring provide secure rigid locking gas spring under tension or compression. In contrast to the elastic locking variant, this version is oil-filled throughout the stroke, facilitated by a separating piston. This grants substantial locking forces, either extension-wise (tensile) or compression-wise (compressive), based on the model. Mounting versatility is enhanced, and advantages encompass adaptable locking, weight compensation, and compact sizing for tight spaces. A range of end fittings ensures simple installation.The applications of lockable gas springs are diverse and can be found in various industries and settings. Some examples include:easystand stander,overbed table,massage table,hospital stretcher,theatre seating, movie theater seats,meeting room chair,barber chair,rollator wheelchair,dialysis chairs,infusion chairs,rollator wheelchair,recliner chair,hospital bassinet,standing desk converter and end fitting for gas spring etc.
