Reliable Motion Control With Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Gas Springs

Our collection of compression gas springs features trusted solutions like Stabilus Lift-O-Mat, known worldwide for smooth motion control, long service life, and dependable performance. Whether you're looking to lift, support, lower, or counterbalance a load, these gas springs provide consistent force and controlled movement in a wide range of applications.

How Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Gas Springs Work

Stabilus Lift-O-Mat gas springs use compressed nitrogen gas and a precisely metered oil-filled damping system to create controlled motion. When the gas spring compresses, internal pressure increases and helps support the load or lift the connected component. The built-in damper slows movement during opening and closing, preventing sudden or jerky motion.

This combination of pressurized gas and hydraulic damping ensures:

Smooth, steady lifting
Controlled, safe closing
Quiet operation
Reduced strain on hinges and attachment points

Because Stabilus uses high-precision sealing and corrosion-resistant materials, these gas springs maintain their performance even after thousands of cycles.
