✅ Lock at Any Position: Precision control allows the piston to stop anywhere along the stroke via the release pin.
✅ Release Button System: Compatible with various release heads, levers, and Bowden cables for easy operation.
✅ Rigid or Elastic Locking: Choose Rigid for absolute stability (e.g., medical tables) or Elastic for comfort buffering (e.g., seats).
✅ High Locking Force: Supports heavy loads up to 5000N without slipping.
✅ Custom Dimensions: Stroke 50-500mm | Tube Ø15-28mm | MOQ 200pcs.
COLEWELL’s Adjustable Locking gas spring with release button (also known as Blocklift or Locking Struts) provide the unique ability to lock the piston rod at any position along its stroke. Unlike standard compression springs, these units feature an internal valve mechanism operated by a release button or lever system.
When the release pin is pushed, the valve opens, allowing the gas spring to extend or compress like a standard spring. When the button is released, the valve closes, locking the spring firmly in place. This makes them ideal for applications requiring height adjustment, angle inclination, and ergonomic positioning.

We understand that different applications need different "feel":
Rigid Locking: The oil chamber is separated from the gas. When locked, the spring is solid like a steel bar. Perfect for medical tables and hospital beds where stability is critical.
Elastic Locking: The gas and oil are mixed. When locked, there is a slight suspension effect. Ideal for passenger seats and office chairs to provide comfort shock absorption.
The core of the adjustable Locking Gas Spring with release button is the release pin. COLEWELL uses high-precision sealing components to ensure the release button operates smoothly even after 50,000 cycles. We also supply matching release systems (Bowden cables, hydraulic releases, and levers) for a one-stop solution.
3. Safety & Overload Protection
Our locking struts are engineered with safety in mind. If the load exceeds the maximum locking force, the seal is designed to yield controlled pressure rather than bursting, ensuring operator safety in industrial environments.
Distinguish between compression type (support force direction is consistent with installation direction) and tension type (reverse support)
Avoid using the machine at full stroke limit, and keep 10%~20% stroke margin to extend life. If frequent high-speed movement is required (such as a robotic arm), a high-response speed model should be selected.
Industrial applications require compliance with ISO 9001 or industry-specific standards (e.g. TS 16949 for the automotive industry)
● RoHS: Complies with environmental safety requirements, will not release harmful gases during long-term use, and protects the air quality in the car
● SGS: Independent product testing and verification, precise and controllable opening and closing force, easy and smooth operation
Customization options
● Customized options: Customized installation interface, providing a variety of standard joint options (ball head/fork head/eye head) Supports customized special joints, perfectly matching the original installation position
● Customized opening force, accurately calculate the required force according to the weight and size of the door panel, ensuring easy opening with one hand while maintaining a stable opening state
