Description
- Extension override
- This function rigidly locks the gas spring in the compressed state. If the piston rod is subjected to an excessive traction force, an overload valve in the piston automatically opens, releasing the lock. The gas spring extends, thereby protecting the application from damage that would be caused by a hard impact against the floor, for example.
- This model is recommended for use in treatment tables and in furniture for sitting and reclining. It enables head and foot sections to be adjusted without actuating a special release mechanism.
- Compression override
- In this design, the gas spring locks in the extended state. This model also has an overload valve that opens as soon as the gas spring is subjected to a load that exceeds a defined limit. The lock is released and the piston rod slowly retracts, thus protecting the application from overload. That’s how these springs afford valuable protection that frequently comes into play in the height and angle adjustment of table surfaces.
