Blocklift

Blocklift gas springs can be blocked at any desired position. In comparison to our “Lift” type gas spring the added feature of the Blocklift is that it is fitted with an internal locking mechanism. This locking mechanism will only allow the spring to be moved while the release pin, located either at the end of the piston rod or on the tube end, is pressed. While the release pin is pressed, the Blocklift works like a normal gas spring on counterbalance base and the piston rod moves out or can be pushed in with the use of force. When the pressure on the release pin is taken off, the locking mechanism locks immediately causing the Blocklift to stay in that position. There are numerous applications where a Blocklift can be used.

Common applications are:

    • Back rest adjustment of passenger seats on buses, train seats and office chairs

    • Various adjustments on hospital beds and massage tables

    • Height adjustments on medical equipment, tables, desktops, school desks and various adjustments on wheelchairs.

The table below shows standard dimensions which ensure optimum function and service life. We welcome the opportunity to produce custom products.
