Flexible Gas Spring

The Bloc-O-Lift-T gas spring is designed to allow easy vertical height adjustment while promoting maximum stability and steadiness. The Bloc-O-Lift-T can be used in several applications, including stand-up tables (single-column desks), desks (two-column desks), nightstands, speaker pulpits, height-adjustable work surfaces, and RV tables. Due to its design process, the Bloc-O-Lift-T gas spring offers a short, compressed installation length with a long stroke. It can be installed independent of its orientation and is easily mountable due to small dimensions and threaded ends. The actuation tappet can be mounted pointing up for hand actuation or at the bottom for foot actuation. The Bloc-O-Lift-T functions with a flat spring characteristic curve and supplies an even force support throughout the entire stroke. This precisely defined force support makes it easy to adjust the table top, regardless of its weight and keeps the tabletop locked rigidly in position. Low compression damping allows fast and comfortable table height adjustment.
