For example, the locking gas springs in the BLOC-O-LIFT series work safely and silently and are maintenance-free. They are used as design elements in multi-functional operating tables and height-adjustable physician&#8217;s chairs, as well as in modern nursing home beds and mobile walkers. Through a piston-valve system, they provide force-assist in the adjusting and variable locking of movable furniture parts, making things easier for the user. Depending on the model, the locking can be unyielding or elastic. They often are a staple in massage tables, monitor brackets, or wheelchairs.<br \/>\nThe BLOC O LIFT OR provides an override function, protecting the furniture from overload in both the tension and compression directions. In rehab or hospital beds, this gas spring can serve as a movable, positionable connecting element between the head or foot section and a bed&#8217;s main section. The BLOC-O-LIFT OBT (Over Bed Table) model is frequently installed in patient tables. It will allow variable height adjustment with rigid locking in the compression direction, with the upward movement of the table top not requiring a manual actuation mechanism. Its purpose: This will increase ease of operation for the patient and, at the same time, allow fast lifting of the table top by medical staff in an emergency. <\/p>\n<p>Another successful product for the manufacture of special medical\/therapeutic furniture is the HYDRO-LIFT. This non-locking gas spring is a popular design element where movable furniture parts need to be lifted or lowered into defined positions. In addition to the force-assist, it is characterized by a piston package with a valve-closing mechanism. It allows variable positioning of a furniture part over its entire adjustment range or, optionally, by pre-defined sections of the gas spring stroke &#8211; and holds the part in place without mechanical actuation. Within certain limits, this gas spring can also compensate for major weight fluctuations. Some of the application areas for the HYDRO-LIFT are the variable tilt adjustment of foot sections in hospital beds and the free positioning of monitor brackets. This gas pressure spring is also ideal for easy chairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether the physician is standing up or the patient lying down &#8211; STABILUS gas springs provide countless types of specialized furniture in hospitals, doctor&#8217;s offices and rehab clinics with maximum mobility and functionality.
