Motion Control In-situ force adjustment 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. Camloc Motion Control Ltd has designed an adjustable force gas spring called 'Vari-Lift™'. 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. The 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 at the end of the tube to provide the force suited to your application. Once this has been established, Camloc Motion Control Ltd Is then able to measure this force and provide production fixed force gas springs to your precise requirement. Vari-Lift™ gas springs can also be used if panel weights vary. These will allow you to provide the perfect solution to your customer's needs every time. Spring force ranges from 50 Newton (5kg or 11 lbs) to 2500 Newton (250kg or 550lbs) with standard strokes from 40mm (1.57") to 500mm (19.69"). Vari-Lift™ gas springs are also available In stainless steel, either manufactured to order or from stock via Camloc Motion Control Ltd's network of distributors. • No need to calculate force • Adjustable to any force within range • Force can be adjusted after installation • Simple adjustment using standard tool supplied • Ideal for prototyping and short production runs • Available as an option on most types of Camloc gas springs • Ideal where application weights vary • Available in stainless steel

An extensive range of sizes and forces Gas springs are commonly referred to by their size. Typically, the four common sizes for gas springs are 6-15, 8-18, 10-23 and 14-28, although other sizes are available. The sizes directly relate to the diameter of the rod and the tube, for example an 8-18 will have a rod diameter of 8mm and a tube diameter of 18mm.
