Precision Control for Lockable Gas Springs

Release heads are essential control components designed to activate and release lockable gas springs safely, smoothly, and precisely. In applications where controlled positioning, user safety, and ergonomic operation are critical, high-quality release systems ensure that gas springs perform exactly as intended every time. At Newtone Gas Springs®, we design and manufacture advanced release heads and release systems for gas springs and gas struts, providing dependable actuation solutions for a wide range of industrial, medical, automotive, and OEM applications. Our products are trusted by customers across the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Mexico, and many other global markets, where reliability and safety are non-negotiable.

What Are Release Heads for Gas Springs?

A release head is a mechanical or hydraulic interface that allows the user to activate the locking mechanism of a lockable gas spring. When engaged, the release head enables controlled movement; when disengaged, the gas spring locks securely in position. High-quality release heads for gas springs provide:

• Precise and responsive actuation
• Safe and predictable control of movement
• Ergonomic operation for the end user
• Compatibility with different gas spring configurations

Newtone release systems are engineered to ensure smooth force transmission and long-term reliability, even in demanding environments.

Our Offerings

• Direct Release Heads: Engineered for immediate actuation, these heads allow for straightforward control directly on the gas spring.
• Bowden Cable Systems: Ideal for remote operations, our Bowden cable systems offer flexibility in design and installation, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.
• Hydraulic Release Systems: For applications requiring synchronized or multi-point control, our hydraulic systems provide efficient and consistent operation.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Our release systems are compatible with various gas spring models and can be customized to meet specific requirements.
• Durability: Manufactured using high-grade materials, our products are built to withstand demanding environments and prolonged use.
• Ease of Installation: Designed with user convenience in mind, our release heads and systems are straightforward to install and integrate into existing setups.
• Safety: Ensuring user safety is paramount; our systems are tested rigorously to meet international safety standards.
