Many pieces of equipment or apparatuses have moving components that operate manually, rather than with the help of a motor or other mechanical aid. Without some sort of controlled operation provided by gas springs, damage could result not only to the equipment, but the person operating it. Today, gas springs have become a natural design element, which is employed wherever assistance in lifting, lowering, moving or adjusting is needed.
Gas springs are the cost-effective answer to positioning moving parts. They improve the performance and ergonomic character of a device, while enhancing safety through controlled opening and closing speeds.
