Auto-Block Gas Spring

These gas springs can be offered in two basic versions like spring blocking and rigid blocking.

In the spring blocking version, oil and gas chambers are same and they can be used where only stepless locking provisions are required but no specific requirement for rigidity under the block condition, hence they cannot be used for the application which are prone to sudden jerks/impacts. Special precautions are required while mounting.

In the rigid block version, gas and oil chambers are separated whereby incompressibility exerted by oil compartment make it rigid under block condition and hence the gas spring has got more applications. They have no limitation as far as the direction of mounting is concerned.
