Gas Spring Functions

Gas springs (locking and non-locking) are used in hospital beds as well as treatment and massage tables. They are used to adjust the angle of the seat, the backrest, or to set the leg supports in order to prevent pressure-induced blood circulation problems. In emergency situations the gas springs can reposition the bed to a level position within seconds. Our gas springs provide simple operation, offer infinite positioning adjustment, and require no maintenance.

We are proud to offer turnkey solutions for your applications. We offer lockable gas springs with different types of release mechanisms such as direct lever release, Bowden wire cable release with button or lever, and hydraulic release with button.
