These gas springs are designed to tolerate slight flexing when the rod is under heavy compression or heavy load.
Elastic locking gas springs have a mechanism that allows users to lock the rod at any point in its travel while enabling the rod to flex if the load exceeds the specified limits. These limits are determined by parameters like the rod size, body size, and P1 force.
The rod remains rigid when pulled, but may slightly flex when pushed. Our Rigid in Extension Locking gas springs allow the user to lock the rod at any point in its travel. When locked, the springs are fully rigid under tensile forces, but can flex when subjected to compressive loads beyond specific limits. The rod size, body size, and P1 force control these limits.
This is the opposite of "rigid in extension", The rod remains rigid when pushed, but may slightly flex when pulled.
Our Rigid in Compression Locking gas springs have a locking mechanism that allows users to lock the rod at any point in its travel. When locked, these springs become fully rigid under compressive forces but relatively flexible under tensile loads exceeding certain limits. These limits are determined by parameters like the rod size, body size, and P1 force.

Elastic | RIGID IN EXTENSION | RIGID IN COMPRESSION | |
---|---|---|---|

Rigidity in Tension | Good | Fully Rigid | High |
Rigidity in Compression | Good | High | Fully Rigid |
Release Valve Option | Yes | Yes | No |
Typical Applications | Chair backs, seat height adjusters and equipment for the physically disabled where the flexing gives a comfortable "bouncy" feel. Further applications are those where no or little extra force is applied once the gas spring has been locked such as VDU height adjustment. | Applications for rigid in extension gas springs include hospital beds, aircraft, coach and rail seat back recline control and wheel chair recline and support systems. | Applications include operating, massage and veterinary tables and wheel chair recline and support systems. This type of locking gas spring is always used where no movement can be tolerated when the apparatus is in its locked position. |
In addition to the features of a compression gas spring, a lockable gas spring can be locked in a specific position along its stroke. Once it is extended or compressed to a desired position, it can be locked in that place to prevent any further movement. The locking function is achieved by a special valve and floating piston.
A typical application of lockable gas springs in daily life is the height adjustable tables. These tables are very popular during the Covid-19 pandemic when people work from home.
A Lockable gas spring has all the structural components of compression gas spring, and the main difference is it also includes of a locking mechanism.
The locking mechanism is typically a pin that engages with a release valve(valve tappet). When the pin or plunger is engaged, it prevents the gas spring from compressing or extending, effectively locking it in place.
There is a piston that divides the gas-filled tube into two chambers. A valve in the connecting channel between the two chambers can be opened/closed from the outside. The valve can close the connection channel at any piston rod position.
When the valve is closed, gas can no longer flow between the two chambers. By that time, the piston rod is locked. In this case, the gas is compressed in one of the chambers. While the locking force is removed, the piston rod will extend.
Lockable gas springs provide precise position control by locking at a specific point, eliminating the need for additional support or mechanisms.
Locking gas springs offer ease of use, allowing for effortless position adjustment and locking at any desired point.
Locking gas springs ensure safety by securely holding the position, preventing unexpected movement or accidents.
Lockable gas springs are widely used in height-adjustable tables to smooth and effortlessly adjust the table’s height.
These gas springs are designed to be easily lockable at any position, allowing users to set their desired heights and reducing the risk of back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders.
These tables are very popular during the Covid-19 pandemic when people work from home.
