In furniture, a gas spring and hydrolift (gas lift) are the core of a lift mechanism: kitchen fronts, lift beds, office and medical furniture. Dampers ensure soft closing. TPK Vesta supplies furniture makers with VST batches — “Furniture” is a company project segment.
TPK Vesta product range
Furniture relies on standard gas springs (S) for lift fronts, hydrolifts / gas lifts (FS) for vertical lifting of heavy flaps, dampers (D) for smooth lowering. Force N calculation by flap width and height; over 240 hydrolifts and thousands of standard gas springs in the catalogue.
Furniture applications
- Kitchen lift fronts — gas springs and hydrolifts (gas lifts)
- Lift beds — standard and lockable gas springs
- Office chairs and adjustable desks — gas springs, dampers
- Medical and laboratory furniture
VST gas springs and gas lifts
VST — Stabilus, Suspa, Bansbach analogues: standard gas springs, hydrolifts (gas lifts), dampers. Stable supply for furniture factories. Force N1 selection by engineer calculation from your dimensions.
Calculation for your design
We calculate N1 (force), C1 (rod stroke), C2 (extended length) and A/Z mounts for flap dimensions. We design a gas spring or hydrolift from scratch for a new furniture line.
European gas spring stock
Original Stabilus, Suspa gas spring and gas lift stock for samples and urgent replacement. Check by part number.
FAQ
How does a hydrolift differ from a gas spring in a kitchen?
A gas spring typically lifts a flap upward on hinges. A hydrolift (gas lift, FS series) is for vertical lifting of heavy flaps and lids. We select the type by your mechanism scheme.
How to calculate force for a kitchen front?
We need flap dimensions, material and hinge type. Engineers calculate N1 (force) and propose a VST gas spring — or a hydrolift for heavy constructions.
