Gas springs from the manufacturer — precise spring solutions for industry and engineering
Stobo gas springs open, hold and close flaps, hoods and moving components with a defined force — engineered and manufactured by us.
A gas spring uses compressed nitrogen to generate a precisely calculated force, moving components in a controlled way into the desired end position. Stobo gas springs are designed for industrial continuous duty and available in virtually any length, force range and with custom end fittings.

Frequently asked questions on Gas Springs
What is a gas spring?+
A gas spring is a hydropneumatic component filled with pressurised nitrogen. When the piston rod moves, the gas generates a controlled extension force and provides smooth, defined opening and closing.
How do I calculate the right force?+
The required force depends on flap weight, centre of gravity, pivot point and lever ratios. Send us dimensions and weight — we'll recommend the right spring free of charge.
Are custom builds possible?+
Yes. Custom lengths, individual forces, special end fittings, stainless designs and customer-specific markings are all possible — also in small series.
How long does a gas spring last?+
Used correctly, Stobo gas springs typically reach more than 20,000 load cycles. Actual service life depends on load, temperature and mounting conditions.
Which mounting orientation is correct?+
We generally recommend mounting with the piston rod facing downward so the seal stays permanently in oil. Other orientations are possible and should be agreed on a case-by-case basis.
