Click and go gas spring

A gas spring is a type of spring that, unlike a typical metal spring, uses a compressed gas, contained in a cylinder and variably compressed by a piston, to exert a force. Gas springs are used frequently in automobile construction, where they are commonly used to support the weight of vehicle doors while they are open. They are also used in furniture, medical, and aerospace applications.

Contrary to a standard gas spring, lockable gas springs can be adjusted continuously in every required position. Classic fields of application are e.g. height adjustments of tables, adjustments of back rests of beds or armchairs.
