About Gas Springs
Gas springs are typically used to assist in opening lids, covers, windows, conveyors, and seats—similar to a hatchback opening on a car.

Remote-Release Gas Springs
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. A valve on the rod end controls extension and compression and is operated with a release control (sold separately). Gas springs have a ball socket end fitting and ball stud on one end for mounting. The ball socket end fitting rotates in any direction on the ball stud to compensate for misalignment.
Release controls (sold separately) thread onto the rod end of the gas spring. They have an integral eyelet fitting for mounting the gas spring. Push-button release control requires an eyelet mounting bracket (not included) to mount the gas spring. Lever release control requires a bolt or pin (not included) to mount the gas spring.
