Gas Springs APSOvib® Gas Springs – Versatility with Optimal Pressure Gas Springs Products and services from the Angst + Pfister Group APSOvib® Gas Springs APSOvib® Gas springs are silent helpers in our everyday lives that enable us to easily and effortlessly lift heavy hoods and flaps, to adjust seats and reclining furniture, and to gently open and close windows and doors. Gas springs are employed wherever heavy loads have to be lifted or lowered or wherever weights have to be offset. APSOvib® gas springs from Angst + Pfister are exceptionally versatile. They can be successfully employed as pneumatic energy storage mechanisms with precisely defined linear extension and retraction forces and spring characteristic curves in mechanical engineering, medical technology, the automobile industry, office tech­ nology and many other sectors.
