Why customers choose lockable compression gas springs from VST

Quality control and certification

Certified to ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 quality management — with continuous improvement focused on defect prevention and reducing variation and scrap across the supply chain.

Geometric parameter accuracy

Rod Ø, cylinder Ø, stroke and length are controlled within batch tolerances so units fit mounts and mechanisms consistently.

Corrosion testing

Salt spray and humidity tests confirm rod and body coating resistance in aggressive environments.

Three-stage inspection

Incoming material control, in-process checks and final acceptance of every batch before shipment.

Wear resistance control

Cycle tests and seal checks reduce the risk of leaks and sticking during long-term use.

Low-temperature testing

Performance and force checks at sub-zero temperatures for outdoor and unheated applications.

High-temperature testing

Leak tightness and specs at elevated temperatures — for engine bays, industrial equipment and hot climates.

Precision production and inspection algorithms

Every VST production step — from tube prep to end-fitting lubrication — follows a digital parameter profile. Automated test rigs verify force, rod stroke and leak tightness; deviations are logged per batch. That reduces spread between units and makes catalog-based replacement selection more predictable.

Lockable compression springs fix the rod at intermediate positions when shortening. Used in beds, chairs and medical equipment.

Compression locking

Internal lock holds the rod until released by push or lever. VST offers compatible solutions for furniture and medical markets.

Applications

  • Adjustable bed backs and bases
  • Medical couches and procedure chairs
  • Vehicle seats with tilt lock
  • Multi-position industrial equipment

Selection

Check stroke, force in newtons and release type. Match rod and cylinder fittings to mounting points.

Frequently asked questions

How to release?

Usually extra push on rod or lever — depends on model.

Compression lock vs extension lock?

Compression locks when shortening; extension locks when extending the rod.
