Lockable gas springs
Lockable gas springs can be ordered via sales@bibus.nl or +31 (0)252-433733.
Lockable gas springs are used in systems that require controlled movements. Spring force, damping, and compression are important in these systems. Thanks to their low frictional force, Bansbach lockable gas springs are highly reliable. Lockable gas pressure springs are used in situations where applications can be set/locked in different positions with the gas pressure spring. Our range of lockable gas springs includes lockable gas pressure springs and gas tension springs.
Release systems
Lockable gas springs can be operated with a variety of release systems. Click for the complete assortment release systems.
By operating the release pin, the piston rod can be reliably controlled over the entire stroke. Depending on the required force, various types of lockable gas springs are available.
Lockable gas springs
Type B
Type B is characterised by the spring-loaded blocking in both directions. The cylinder consists of two chambers that are separated by a piston. In this type of cylinder, both chambers are filled with gas, which determines the locking force. Blocking will be flexible in both directions up to the maximum load-bearing force.
The gas spring will provide comfortable damping in both directions similar to an adjustable bar stool.
New: Type B lockable gas springs with a piston rod diameter of 6 mm.

Type K
Type K is characterised by the rigid blocking in the outgoing direction. The cylinder consists of two chambers that are separated by a floating piston. One chamber consists of gas, the other if filled with oil. As a result, rigid blocking is created in the outgoing direction.
The piston rod will not move with an outgoing load (pulling movement). If the blocking force in compressing direction is exceeded, the piston rod will make a small shift. This type is often used in adjustable backrests of chairs, for example.

Type P
Type P is characterised by the rigid blocking in compressing direction. Type P is similar to type K, in which the gas and oil chambers are reversed.
The piston rod will not move in a compressing direction. A small shift will occur in the outgoing direction if the lockable force is exceeded.
This type is often used in treatment benches, for example.

Type KX
Type KX is characterised by the rigid blocking in both directions. This type of gas spring is a combination of types P and K. The gas spring will not move to the maximum lockable force in both directions.
This means KX gas springs can also be supplied without pressure. This type is often used in medical beds and applications where high loads apply.

Mounting parts lockable gas springs
To ensure optimum operation of the gas pressure spring, it is also important to choose the right mounting parts. We offer an extensive range of mounting parts for a detailed and controlled operation in your application, including eyes, yokes, ball joints, and metal brackets which are compatible with almost all gas pressure springs. It is also possible to order mounting parts in steel and stainless steel. View the mounting parts

Configuring lockable gas springs
Our gas spring configurator allows you to easily determine the properties of your custom lockable gas spring. The Bansbach Easylift system offers optimum flexibility: these gas springs are available in every size, force, and specification. Easily assemble your very own lockable gas springstep by step.
Immediately configure your blockable gas spring >>
Step 1: Configure your own lockable gas springs.
Step 2: Select one of the following types: B, K, P, or KX.
Step 3: Enter the desired stroke length (mm).
Step 4: Enter the desired force (Newtons).
Step 5: Enter the desired speed.
Step 6: Enter the desired diameter of the piston rod and cylinder tube (mm).
It will be possible to select more options (including connectors, speed, damping) during subsequent steps. After completing the steps above, the configurator will generate the gas spring and corresponding product number.
Step 7: Now enter your company details, click submit (send), and BIBUS will send you a customised quote.
