Automobile industry gas spring LIFT-O-MAT

with dynamic damping

In this model, damping takes place not with the help of hydraulic oil, but rather with the “groove-in-the-tube” technology developed by Stabilus. Its big advantage is that it enables damping specifications to be adapted to the application. For instance, the spring can be effective only during extension, only during compression, or in both directions. This makes it the ideal solution for any application in which the gas spring’s mounting orientation is not always distinct. With the help of a special longitudinal groove inside the pressure tube, the damping characteristics can be perfectly adapted to the application. It is possible to set up different characteristics for extension and compression. Another option is to incorporate damping upon approach of intermediate positions. By changing the cross section of the groove, travel speed can be specified as needed along the entire stroke. Travel can even be reduced to a near complete standstill. protection of equipment through defined speed control ability to change damping characteristics for optimal adaptation to your application can incorporate damping upon approach of intermediate positions easy integration into your application thanks to functionality regardless of mounting orientation
