Locking Gas Springs

 

Precision Control and Secure Positioning for Diverse Applications

Locking gas springs, also known as locking gas struts, are advanced components that combine the force assistance of traditional gas springs with the added functionality of position locking. This unique combination allows for precise control and secure positioning in various applications, enhancing safety and usability. At Newtone Gas Springs, we design and manufacture high-performance adjustable locking gas springs for a wide range of industries, supplying customers across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, Oceania, and many other global markets. Unlike standard gas springs, locking gas springs allow users to securely lock the piston rod at any position along the stroke, ensuring superior safety, usability, and ergonomic control.
