Gas Springs

Locking Gas Springs are used in items such as car doors, lift tables, and laptop carts. Gas springs provide weight equalization and easier handling during opening, closing, and positioning. They can hold items in the desired position, and can provide an even increase of force over the entire range of motion. Think of opening the trunk of a car; the locking gas spring is what holds the door in place once it is open. Products in the BLOC-O-LIFT line are available with variable locking, either rigid or elastic in the direction of tension or compression, depending on the desired setup.

Types:

• Rigid Locking in Extension Gas Springs
• Rigid Locking in Compression Gas Springs
• Elastic Locking Gas Springs

Non Locking Gas Springs in the LIFT-O-MAT line are used whenever loads need to be lifted or lowered in a controlled manner. They provide optimum weight equalization; making even the heaviest lids and doors easy to handle. LIFT-O-MAT non locking gas springs ensure safe and user-friendly motion sequences.

Types:

• Standard Lift Assist Gas Springs
• Dynamic Dampening Gas Springs
• Hydraulic Dampening Gas Springs
• Infinite Positioning With Hold Open Gas Springs

Dampers in the STAB-O-SHOCK line are used to positively influence motion and vibration; whether it is to comfortably dampen the opening and closing of lids, or to prevent damage to machines caused by excessive vibration.

Quick, uncontrolled movements while opening and closing lids can be dangerous to the user and put unnecessary stress on the equipment. STAB-O-SHOCK Motion Dampers support controlled motion during lifting and lowering of lid applications; they also protect equipment by avoiding hard stops in the end position.

Excessive vibrations can interfere with the smooth running of machinery and equipment, and cause costly damage. STAB-O-SHOCK Vibration Dampers convert the kinetic energy of moving components into thermal energy, reducing hard stops and large oscillation amplitudes; thus extending the life of the equipment.

Types:

• Dampen in Extension Dampers
• Dampen in Compression Dampers
• Dampen in Compression and Extension Dampers

JWF Technologies can use the different Lift-O-Mat, Bloc-O-Lift and Stab-O-Mat technologies to create custom gas springs to fit our customer’s exact needs. We are able to look at any application and design a custom gas spring specifically for it; taking into account the size and other unique details of the application.

We provide design assistance for motion control applications utilizing gas springs, locking springs, and hydraulic dampers. Our patented “einbau” software allows us to provide detailed information on mounting points, handle loads, temperature compensation and life expectancy in our simulation. Fill out our application form for Gas Spring Design Assistance and we will provide a detailed simulation quickly thereby lowering your engineering cycle time.
