Lockable gas springs are versatile and find use in various applications:
- Automotive: For adjustable seats, hoods, and trunks.
- Furniture: For reclining chairs, height-adjustable tables, and more.
- Industrial Equipment: For machinery with adjustable components.
- Medical Devices: For adjustable hospital beds and other medical equipment.
Lockable gas springs are a variation of conventional gas springs that have a unique feature: they can be locked at any desired position along their stroke. This feature is achieved through the addition of a locking mechanism.
Here's how lockable gas springs work:
1.Compression and Extension: Like traditional gas springs, lockable gas springs are used for compressing or extending motion. When you apply force to the piston rod, it either compresses or extends the rodLocking Mechanism: Lockable gas springs have an internal locking mechanism that can be engaged at any point along the stroke. This mechanism is typically activated by a button, lever, or other control device.
2.Locking Pin: When the locking mechanism is activated, a pin or latch extends into a groove or notch on the piston rod. This pin prevents any further movement of the rod, effectively locking it in place.
3.Release to Unlock: To unlock the gas spring and allow movement, you simply release the locking mechanism. This retracts the pin from the groove on the rod, and the spring can be compressed or extended as needed.
