Gas Spring End Fittings

These Gas Spring End Fittings connect a gas spring to the object or structure it supports. They are essential for maintaining the safe and reliable operation of gas springs, and selecting the appropriate end fittings for the specific application is critical. The vast array, when combined, gives a wide choice of simple-to-assemble fixing solutions to suit your application.

It can be the same or have various sizes and types on either end. Durable and resistant to wear and tear, it can be used for heavy load applications, and are simple to install and remove using a ball joint. Used in various applications, including automotive trunks or industrial machinery.

  • Salt spray tested under ASTM B117
  • Material: Steel, Stainless Steel, Zinc Alloy, Nylon
  • Colour: Natural, Black

Gas Spring Mounting Brackets

These Gas Springs mounting brackets secure the spring to the object or structure it supports and help distribute the load equally. The brackets combine compact design with strength, delivering a large force range capacity that may be utilised for heavy load applications. They are durable and resistant to wear and tear.

The components pass at least 72 hours of salt spray testing under ASTM B117 and are made of carbon steel with zinc. They are easy to install and remove, with either ball pins or threaded pins to fit a variety of end fittings. Used in various applications such as automotive, furniture, medical equipment, and industrial machinery.

  • Material: Steel

Gas Springs - Adjustable Force

These Gas Springs with Adjustable Force are a form of gas spring that allows the user to alter the force exerted by the gas spring after it has been installed. This is accomplished by varying the pressure of the gas inside the spring. When employed, theoretical forces are frequently discovered to be wrong because factors such as hinge friction and apparent speed of action influence computations. It can be modified to match individual preferences and adjusted while in use, saving you both time and effort.

When the gas springs are delivered, they are charged to their maximum force. It is simple to install and remove with the included equipment, and gas may be progressively released through the valve at the end of the tube to provide the force required for your application. Once confirmed, we can measure the force and offer fixed force gas springs to your specifications. Used in various industries, including automobile, furniture, medical equipment, and industrial machinery.

Gas Springs - Fixed Force

Fixed Force Gas Springs, also are also known as a Forced Spring Gas Strut or a Gas Spring, are self-contained and maintenance free. Gas pressure internal to the strut provides a push or pull force depending on configuration, and additionally has a dampening circuit that controls the motion speed in one or both directions.

Gas Springs are safe to use with easy positional control. They are best suited for use on applications such as access panels, lids, bonnets and hatch covers.

  • Thread Sizes: M5 and M6
  • Rod and Tube Material: Steel
  • Rod Finish: Black Nitrided
  • Tube Finish: Black Epoxy Powder Coated.

Locking Gas Springs

Our range of Locking Gas Springs include Security (Safety) Locking Gas Struts, and Blocklift Locking Gas Struts. These springs are ideal for applications where the motion control adjustments require comfort and security, even when locked in position. They are commonly used in the medical field, laboratories, the automotive industry, as well as for furniture and industrial equipment when opening, closing, tilting or damping.

Security springs feature a shroud. They eliminate the need for separate safety rods in critical lift-assist operations. When extended fully, they positively lock – this protects the operator from risk of injury in the event of overload or misuse. The shroud should be actively pressed in order to release the lock and ensure safe operation. They provide a self-contained, maintenance-free offering and are supplied in pairs. The rod is manufactured from steel and the fittings are made from polyamide and steel.

Blocklift springs perform just like conventional gas struts, but they also include a special internal locking valve, which allows it to be locked in any position. This locking mechanism only allows the strut to move whilst the release pin, located on the end of the piston rod, is depressed. Typical applications for Blocklift include; height and angle adjustment of seats on aircraft, buses, trains and other specialist transport. They also provide controlled adjustment for hospital beds, physiotherapy tables and for wheelchairs, plus height risers on desks. Available in Carbon and Stainless Steel. Offers single-handed operation.

  • Safe and easy to use
  • Maintenance free
  • Self-contained unit.
