Overview
Auto-BLOCK Locking Gas Springs make ergonomic adjustments simple in chairs, tables, and other applications. They allow for smooth movement and precise positioning of components during opening and closing.
With a versatile design, Auto-BLOCK gas springs serve various purposes, such as adjusting reclining backrests in buses for better passenger comfort. These gas springs lock securely at any position, whether rigid or elastic and work in both push and pull directions.
The piston valve system, with its two fluid chambers, allows for easy locking with minimal effort. Once the actuator valve releases, the spring locks automatically, securing heavy loads in the desired position. Auto-BLOCK gas springs provide uniform force distribution throughout the entire movement, delivering reliable performance across a range of ergonomic applications.

Rigid in Compression (RABC)
AutoBLOCK gas springs (RABC) feature a mechanism that locks the rod at any point along its travel. In the locked position, these gas springs remain completely rigid under compressive forces. However, if tensile forces exceed specified limits, the rod allows slight flex, providing controlled adaptability when required.
