Lockable gas springs — continuous locking in any position
Lockable gas springs lock at any position of the piston rod — ideal for height-adjustable tables, hospital beds, ergonomic workstations and individual adjustment mechanisms.
Stobo lockable gas springs combine the function of a gas spring with an integrated locking mechanism. A release opens the valve so the spring moves freely; releasing it locks again instantly and holds the component permanently in position.

Frequently asked questions on Lockable Gas Springs
How does a lockable gas spring work?+
A lockable gas spring contains a valve that locks the piston rod at any position. When the release is actuated the valve opens and the spring can move — releasing it locks again.
What's the difference between rigid and sprung locking?+
Rigid locking holds the spring absolutely fixed. Sprung locking allows the spring to flex slightly in both directions — useful for example in ergonomic chairs.
Can I choose the release mechanism?+
Yes. Stobo offers Bowden cable, lever, push button and pneumatic releases — including custom solutions for special builds.
