Keep environments free of contaminants—with plastic bushings, there's no metal-to-metal contact that can release particles as these supports open and close. Manually control these free-moving lid supports through their full range of motion. Raise the lid until the hold-open mechanism on the support is engaged; slightly lift it again to release the hold and close the lid.

Also known as hatch springs, these supports are commonly used on hatches and other top-opening lids. Raise the lid to extend the spring, which props the lid open—an internal cable keeps the spring from overextending. Press the center of the spring to release the hold and close the lid.

Springs provide lifting assistance to raise and hold lids open—slightly lift the lid to get it started and the support will do the rest. Manually shut the lids and the supports will hold them in the closed position.

To eliminate slamming and smashed fingers, these supports automatically pull lids shut when they approach the closed position. Raise the lid until the hold-open mechanism on the support is engaged; slightly lift it again to release the hold and close the lid.

Gradually slow your lid's motion to prevent it from slamming open. To open lids, lower them and the support will slowly and softly do the rest. Manually shut the lids and the supports will hold them in the closed position.

Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for use in damp environments.

Mechanical operation means these springs have no seals to fail or gas to leak.

These gas springs have threaded ends so you can use them with any combination of end fittings, studs, and mounting brackets.

Often used to open lids, covers, windows, conveyors, and seats, these gas springs function similar to a hatchback opening on a car. They have an eyelet end fitting on each end.

Protect material and equipment underneath heavy loads—these gas springs lock automatically when fully extended, ensuring they can't be closed until it's safe to do so.

Ensure you have the correct force for your application. These gas springs have a bleed valve so you can release gas to permanently reduce the force to meet your requirements.

Often used to replace coil springs in metal stamping and die-spring applications, these gas springs match the diameter and stroke length of coil die springs but offer much more force.

Pair one of these gas springs with a release control to stop and release the gas spring anywhere along the stroke with the push of a button or lever.

Made of easy-to-machine aluminum, these brackets come without mounting holes, so you can drill holes where you need them.

Pair these 30° angle brackets with ball socket end fittings to mount your gas spring in almost any position.

Easy to machine, these brackets are made from aluminum—drill mounting holes where needed.

Drill mounting holes where you need them—these brackets are made from aluminum, so they’re easy to machine.

Made with thicker stainless steel than standard ball stud mounting brackets, these brackets work well in high-force applications exposed to damp conditions.

Pair these 90° angle offset-arm brackets with ball socket end fittings to mount your gas spring in almost any position.
