A Locking Gas Spring is a special type of gas spring that not only supports weight and provides controlled motion but also offers lockable positioning at any point along its stroke. These springs are filled with gas and oil, and are equipped with an internal locking mechanism that can be activated via a release pin, lever, or push button.
Once locked, the spring remains rigid or cushioned depending on the configuration, effectively eliminating the need for external clamps or manual adjustment supports. Locking gas springs are ideal in situations where the user needs the component to remain in place — such as backrests, lifting platforms, or adjustable beds.
