Variable Force

When Gas Springs are used, it is often found that theoretical forces will be incorrect because factors such as hinge friction and perceived speed of action will have a bearing on calculations.

Therefore, Arvin Motion Control (AMCL) has devised an adjustable force Gas Spring. Called Vari-Lift (See Below) not only can it be adjusted to meet individual preferences, but it can also be adjusted whilst in position, saving you both time and effort.

These Camloc Gas Springs are charged to their maximum force during manufacture. By using the standard tool provided, Gas can be gradually released via the Vari-Lift valve to provide the force suited to your application.  Once this has been established, AMCL, is able to measure this force and provide fixed force Gas Springs to your precise requirement.

WARNING: The force can be adjusted downwards only.  (See Vari-Lift Adjustment Instructions for further clarification.)

Camloc Vari-Lift Gas Springs can also be used if panel weights vary.  These will then allow you to provide the perfect solution to your customer’ needs every time.  Spring force ranges from 5kg (11lbs) to 250kg (550lbs) with standard strokes from 40mm (1.57”) to 500mm (19.69”).

Camloc Vari-Lift Gas Springs are also available from stock via Distributors, and will provide years of maintenance and trouble free service.
