Colewell Friction Softline Gas Dampers are advanced motion control devices designed to regulate speed and enable positioning, rather than just providing lifting force. By combining hydraulic damper technology with internal friction mechanisms, these units offer a premium "Soft-Close" effect and "Infinite Stop" functionality.
Unlike standard gas springs, our softline dampers ensure that drop-down doors, medical monitor arms, and heavy lids move at a controlled, constant velocity. They eliminate slamming, reduce impact stress on hinges, and allow users to stop the object at any desired angle (friction models), enhancing both safety and user experience.
Damping Force | 50N – 2000N. Resistance is customizable to match the weight of the lid, ensuring precise speed control (Extension or Compression Damping). |
Material Build | Cylinder: Powder Coated Steel or 304/316 Stainless Steel. |
Damping Type | Hydraulic: For consistent speed control. |
Operating Temp | Standard: -30℃ ~ +80℃. High-quality hydraulic oil ensures stable viscosity and consistent damping speed. |
• Extension Damping: Controls speed when opening (e.g., drop-down cabinet doors).
• Compression Damping: Controls speed when closing (e.g., toy box lids).
• Both Directions: Provides resistance in both directions.
Anti-Pinch: Prevents heavy panels from falling freely. The friction damper holds the panel in place if released, preventing injury.
Direction matters! Hydraulic dampers usually need to be installed rod-down for proper oil lubrication and damping effect.
• Force: Defined damping resistance.
• Speed: Fast, Medium, or Slow motion speeds available.
• Connectors: Eyelets, ball joints, or custom brackets.

Drop-Down Doors: Essential for AV cabinets and bar counters. The hydraulic damper ensures the door opens gently without crashing.
Infinite Positioning:Friction dampers allow medical screens and monitor arms to be pulled to any position and stay there without locking.
Glove Boxes: Provides that premium "soft-open" feel for glove compartments and sunglasses holders in vehicles.
Safety Covers: Prevents heavy maintenance covers from slamming shut on operators' hands using controlled compression damping.
The hydraulic function regulates movement speed, ensuring a steady, non-jerky operation.
Friction dampers allow the object to stop and stay at any angle without external locks.
Creates a premium feel for furniture and equipment by eliminating abrupt stops.
Built with wear-resistant piston rods to maintain consistent friction/damping over time.
Can be configured for horizontal or vertical mounting in diverse industrial designs.
Internal hydraulic fluid minimizes operation noise, ideal for quiet environments.
Colewell specializes in high-end friction and hydraulic dampers. We don't just sell standard parts; we engineer motion solutions. From the precise viscosity of our hydraulic oil to the tolerance of our friction components, we ensure your product moves exactly how you want it to—smoothly, silently, and safely.
