FAQ

Do you work with aviation customer requirements?

Selection and supply follow an agreed specification with fixed type (standard, damper, lockable gas spring) and parameters. Special requirements use individual calculation and sample approval.

Can an import gas spring be replaced with VST?

Yes, when force in newtons, rod stroke, length and rod/cylinder mounts match. Send the marking — we select a VST catalogue analogue.
