Stabilus LIFT-O-MAT
Gas Springs
| The Stabilus lift-o-mat gas spring can
be designed with an approximately linear, progressive
or digressive spring rate curve, to match a particular
need. The characteristic curve of the gas spring describes
the progression of the force of the gas spring over
the stroke, from the extended to the compressed state
and vice versa.
If the gas spring rate is flat and progresses
in a practically linear manner, the force of the gas
spring consequently rises only slightly over the entire
spring travel. |

adjusting, motion control, counter-balance |
The measuring points F1 and F4 (see table below) are each
located 5 mm before the fully extended and compressed stroke.
The measurements were conducted at a temperature of 20º
C.

Product Range for the lift-o-mat gas spring
The
LIFT-O-MAT gas spring is available as follows:
- A choice can be
made between the standard versions with eyelet and fittings
or ball sockets.
- Further connection
variants available on request.
- Standard features
are the proven Nislide piston rod for extended life, with
high resistance to corrosion and an environmentally friendly
design.
- Special gas spring
types available with protective tube.
- Roll-closed as
standard at the pressure tube end to ensure optimal seal
without weld seams and high resistance to corrosion.
- With different
sets of seals, depending upon the application.
- With hydraulic
damping control as a result of patented labyrinth pistons
(damping during extension and / or compression of the piston
rod)
- With dynamic damping
system for achieving the desired degree of damping over
the entire stroke of the gas spring.
Variants for the lift-o-mat gas spring
- LIFT-O-MAT gas
spring with mechanical external or internal limit lock as
an additional safeguard to cope with varying weights, e.g.
snow loads or wind gusts.
- HYDRO-LIFT gas
spring for stepless positioning at any desired point
- Gas spring with
increased friction (Reib-LIFT-O-MAT) for stepless positioning
at any desired point
- ELECTRO-LIFT gas
spring with the additional benefit of transmitting an electric
current of up to 25A/12V or with a switch function, e.g.
for illuminating a stowage area in a camper.
