To d a t e , more than 2.0 billion gas springs have been produced, giving S TA B I L U S t h e l o n g e s t e x p e r i e n c e world-wide in the design and manufacture of gas springs. With an annual production of more than 10 0 m i l l i o n u n i t s , S TA B I L U S i s today the world market leader for multiple industrial applications. Occupational health practitioners and swivel chair manufacturers a p p r o p r i a t e l y c o n s i d e r S TA B I L U S a pioneer in the development and manufacture of gas springs for ergonomic seating in the swivel chair area. The gas spring makes it possible to adjust height, seat and backrest tilt of the swivel chair q u i c k l y a n d e a s i l y. Compact design, high level of operating convenience and safet y in use continue to expand the f i e l d o f a p p l i c a t i o n s f o r S TA B I L U S products. e.g. Motor vehicles and superstructures Gas springs and dampers facilitate the opening and adjustment of hoods, hatches and covers. e.g. Agricultural vehicles They dampen unpleasant shocks in t h e d r i v e r s s e a t c a u s e d b y u n e v e n land resulting in comfortable, relaxed and ergonomic seating. With a global sales and service n e t w o r k a n d 10 p r o d u c t i o n s i t e s i n Europe, USA , Mexico, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia and Korea S TA B I L U S s u p p l i e s a n d s u p p o r t s more than 2,400 customers worldwide. e.g. Buses They allow seats to be adjusted to the passengers bodies, so that even long journeys become a positive experience. e.g. Railway vehicles Here, too, blocking gas springs in stepless adjustable seats ensure ergonomic seating.

To g e t h e r w i t h t h e d i m e n s i o n s , t h e F1 force is the major descriptive feature for the choice of a gas spring and it is therefore specified in all STABILUS brochures. It defines the value of the spring force and is measured 5mm before the end of the extension movement. The difference between the force lines for the compression and extension direction, FR, is the result of friction effects. Dynamic damping

Here the bore in the piston is replaced with a longitudinal groove in the wall of the pressure tube which ser ves as a bypass. Its geometr y and the length determine the damping cur ve. This technique allows position- independent damping of the gas springs.
