Rigid Locking Gas Spring
Founded in 2002, Xingtai Juxiang focuses on gas spring manufacturing. Rigid Locking Gas Spring is designed for heavy-load scenarios that require stable positioning without shaking, sinking or rebound after locking. It suits medical, industrial, aerospace and furniture equipment, with 50N–2600N force range, 10–800mm stroke and multiple tube diameter specifications. Supported by professional technical teams, we provide standard products and full OEM/ODM customization services.
A standard free-moving gas spring relies entirely on nitrogen pressure to provide support — but it cannot hold a fixed position under load. A Rigid Locking Gas Spring solves this by filling the space around the piston with oil when the valve closes, eliminating compressibility and creating a mechanically rigid lock.
The result is a support element that behaves like a fixed structural component the moment it is locked. There is no bounce, no micro-displacement, and no gradual sinking under sustained load. This makes it fundamentally different from elastic locking variants, which still allow slight deflection under overload.
For B2B buyers in medical, precision machinery, or safety-critical seating applications, this distinction is critical. You need a component that stays exactly where it is set — and this product delivers that.

Rigid locking gas springs are used in many different professions. Under patient load, hospital beds and medical operating tables maintain steady working angles without shifting. Marine, high-speed rail, and aircraft seats maintain their ergonomic postures in the face of external force and vibration. Precision machine frames and height-adjustable industrial workbenches eliminate micro-movement to reduce measurement mistakes and safety hazards. For solid post-adjustment posture, the springs are also often utilized in office and medical furniture.

Carbon steel cylinders with chrome-plated piston rods are used in standard designs, which offer good wear resistance and a long service life under typical operating circumstances.
304 or 316 stainless steel alternatives are offered for harsh conditions, such as offshore equipment, medical sterilization exposure, or humid industrial settings. These materials do not need further surface treatment or upkeep to withstand corrosion.
Throughout the Rigid Locking Gas Spring's operational life, all sealing components are chosen for their fatigue resistance, enabling lengthy service cycles and steady pressure retention.

We support full customization of force, stroke, pipe size, connectors and control modes to fit different product designs. With complete production capacity, we accept 50PCS small-batch trial orders and large-scale bulk orders.
Our products are exported to Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America and other regions with stable delivery and complete trade services.


Q1: What is the difference between rigid and elastic locking?
A: Rigid locking uses oil filling for zero-play fixed positioning. Elastic locking relies on nitrogen buffer with slight deflection, only suitable for shock absorption scenarios.
Q2: Can force and stroke be customized?
A: Yes, we customize force within 50N–2600N and stroke within 10–800mm to match your equipment demands.
Q3: What locking release modes are available?
A: Manual button and pull-wire control are optional, with low stroke and actuation force for easy operation.
Q4: Is stainless steel version available?
A: 304316 stainless steel models are provided for marine, medical and corrosive working environments.
Q5: What is the product MOQ and temperature range?
A: Standard MOQ is 50PCS, with standard working temperature of -30℃ to +80℃, and extreme temperature customization is supported.
