Aluminum Locking Gas Springs

Locking gas springs incorporate a mechanism enabling the user to “lock” the rod at any point in its travel through a plunger that protrudes from the rod. When this plunger is depressed the rod is free to operate as normal. When the plunger is released, which may be at any point in the stroke, the rod is locked in that position.

All IGS locking gas springs are also offered with an aluminum body. These aluminum locking gas springs are mainly used by the Aerospace industry for lightweight and fuel efficiency considerations. They are one of our strongest products for the aircraft seating market.
