Locking Gas Springs – Tailored Solutions for Your Unique Needs

Locking gas springs, also known as blocking or adjustable gas struts, are essential in applications that require the ability to lock the spring in a desired position without external locking mechanisms. TieYing Spring specializes in manufacturing high-performance lockable gas springs designed to lock variably in any stroke position, whether elastically (“spring-loaded”) or rigidly. This functionality is achieved through a unique piston design that separates the gas and oil chambers, offering distinct advantages in convenience and operational efficiency.

These locking gas springs are commonly used for applications such as adjustable tables, chair backrests, gym machinery, control panels, desks, and patient beds. They provide precise position control, making them indispensable in various industries.

Locking Gas Springs Specification 

Types of Locking Gas Springs:

1. Flexible Locking Gas Spring (Elastic)
locking gas springs are designed to offer the unique ability to “lock” the rod at any position along its travel while still allowing the rod to flex when the applied load exceeds the predefined limits. This mechanism works by opening a valve that allows the gas to flow freely between both sides of the piston, functioning as a standard gas spring. However, when the valve is closed, the gas flow is restricted, causing a force balance on both sides of the piston after minimal displacement. This results in the piston being locked in the desired position. The presence of compressible gas on both sides of the piston provides a flexible locking mechanism, allowing controlled movement within specified limits.

2. Rigid in Compression Locking Gas Spring
Rigid in compression locking gas springs are engineered to lock the rod at any desired position along its travel, making it fully rigid under compressive forces when locked. However, when tensile forces exceed the specified limits, the rod will flex, allowing for controlled displacement. The ability to lock the spring in any position under compression is complemented by the rod’s flexibility in tension. Parameters such as rod size, body size, and the P1 force are key to controlling the limits of this locking mechanism, ensuring precise and reliable performance in demanding applications.

3. Rigid in Extension Locking Gas Spring
Rigid in extension locking gas springs are designed to lock in place when force is applied in the extension direction, providing full rigidity in the locked position. In contrast, when the gas spring is subjected to compressive forces, the shaft will experience a small amount of movement based on the applied load. Once the load is removed, the shaft returns to the position where it was previously locked. This type of locking gas spring can be mounted both vertically and horizontally, offering versatile installation options for various applications. The locking mechanism provides enhanced stability when the gas spring is under extension, making it ideal for use in scenarios that require secure, fixed positioning.
