What do Locking Gas Struts – Blocklift do? If your project requires height adjustment that will remain fixed in position, or the ability to make adjustments to an application easily and instantly, then a locking gas strut could be the solution that you require. Our Blocklift range features four unique products that are ideally suited to a variety of applications and projects. BL1: Rigid in Extension This gas strut locks the piston in extension giving full rigidity in extension, but in doing so, will still allow a few millimetres of movement in compression. Once a compressive load is released, the piston rod automatically returns to the original position. These locking gas struts can be mounted in any orientation offering the flexibility required for many projects. BL2: Rigid in Compression This gas strut provides complete rigidity in compression, but will allow a few millimetres of movement in extension. Once the extension load is released, the piston rod automatically returns to the initial position. Our team of engineers recommend that these locking gas struts should be mounted rod down. However, it is possible to mount in any position, but this needs to be advised at the time of enquiry. BL3: Spring Blocking (Elastic Locking) These locking gas struts are ideal for applications where some comfort is needed, even when the Blocklift is locked in position. For example, like the springs found in an office chair, when a load is applied to the locked gas strut in either extension or compression, the piston rod compresses a few millimetres.
