- 27 mm cylinder diameter.
- Rigid locking at any position.
- Smooth, progressive and quiet movement.
- Excellent stability in operation.
- Wide range of available forces.
- Different strokes and lengths depending on the product selected.
- Compatible with different end fittings, brackets, cables and levers.
- Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications.
- Easy to integrate into columns, tables, adjustable screens, workbenches and other lifting systems.
Their robust design makes these gas springs an ideal solution for manufacturers, engineering firms and professionals who need precise, safe movement control.
Advantages
Locking gas springs offer numerous advantages over other mechanical or hydraulic adjustment systems. Their main benefits include:
- They hold the chosen position reliably.
- They lock the stroke at any point.
- They provide precise height adjustment.
- They reduce the effort needed to move the load.
- They improve operator safety.
- They increase the stability of the assembly.
- They are easy to integrate into industrial applications, office furniture, machinery and vehicles.
- They work on gas pressure, giving progressive movement.
- They accept different actuators, from cables to levers.
- They are ideal wherever continuous movement control is required.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between rigid locking and elastic locking?
A rigid locking gas spring holds its position firmly and neither gives nor moves when force is applied, whereas elastic locking gas springs allow a small cushioned travel under load.
Can it be locked in any position?
Yes, our gas springs can be locked at whatever position you choose.
How is the lock released?
Through a lever or valve mechanism that lets you adjust the position of your application.
What maximum pressure does it take?
It depends on the model: locking gas springs are available from 250N to 650N.
Can it be mounted upside down?
Yes, in any orientation. They include an internal separating piston that keeps the oil completely isolated from the gas.
What maintenance does it need?
As we seal the component in our own factory, none of its internal parts require maintenance.
Can external lubricants be used?
No, not at all. The rod already comes lubricated with the spring's internal oil. External lubricants attract dust and can chemically degrade the inside of the spring.
What is its service life?
Between 50,000 and 100,000 cycles. The actual life depends on the type of application it is used for.
Which end fittings are compatible?
Our catalogue includes several end fittings for locking gas springs, such as our M10xM10 rigid locking strut release head.
