Gas Springs Are becoming more and more popular in assembly applications, and can be found in Automobile seats and tailgates, Washing machines, Machine guards, along with furniture and other storage systems. There are numerous advantages in using U.K. Gas Springs over conventional Steel compression or extension springs. For example the force produced by a Gas spring can be much greater than a conventional coiled spring, but uses less space than a conventional spring. When gas springs are compressed and released there is little or no bounce, and the speed of release can be controlled by a valve resulting in a much smoother return. We can supply all types of end fittings Including variable ball joints, which give more movement both laterally and horizontally. Making U. K. Gas Springs much easier to design into the application. U. K. Gas Springs are normally manufactured from standard stock steel, but are also AVAILABLE IN STAINLESS STEEL for Food, marine and Medical applications, or light alloys where weight is more important.	Available with Locking Mechanism U.K. Gas Springs are also available with locking mechanisms, allowing the spring to be Locked in any position whilst extending or under compression. This feature is especially useful for reclining or office chairs. Quick release valves then reverse the process allowing the gas spring to extend.
