Stabilus BLOC-O-LIFT Gas Springs

The Stabilus Bloc-O-Lift gas spring operates on the same principle as the LIFT-O-MAT. In addition, the gas spring features an integrated valve and can thus be blocked in any desired position. The piston of the Bloc-O-Lift is sealed at the pressure tube and separates two gas spaces. When the valve of the Bloc-O-Lift is closed, the gas spring is fixed which enables it to be blocked in any desired position, if the release plunger is operated, the valve is opened and the gas spring unit can be moved into any desired position. The extension rate and the damping can be varied accordingly by the choice of nozzle in the piston.

Product Range of the Bloc-O-Lift gas spring

The BLOC-O-LIFT gas spring is available both in a resilient and also a rigid blocking version as follows:

• Special gas spring types are available with an 8mm piston rod and 22 mm pressure tube diameter
• Fitted as standard with thread or eyelet and fittings
• With special sealing system suitable for continuous operation
• With special sealing system for any desired installation position
• With short release travel of 1 mm instead of the standard 2.5 mm
• With reversed valve operation (valve closes when released)
• Without extension force (HYDRO-BLOC)

Variants of the Bloc-O-Lift gas spring

• BLOC-O-LIFT gas spring with resilient blocking in the extension of compression direction. If the piston is moved over the range of stroke in the gas, a resilient blocking effect is achieved as gas is compressible.
• BLOC-O-LIFT gas spring with rigid-blocking in the extension or compression direction. If the piston is moved over the range of stroke in the oil, a rigid blocking effect is achieved as oil is not compressible.

In the case of the position-independent rigid blocking variant, the gas and oil spaces are separated by a separating piston and rigid blocking is possible in the extension or compression direction, depending on the design.
