Seat height adjustment

Stabilus gas springs enable an ergonomic sitting position, customized to every body and every workplace. This is made possible by our large selection of product variants, which we can custom design to correspond to your requirements.

Functionality

Locking gas springs offer convenient and secure height adjustment of swivel chairs. When the chair is loaded, the seat pan gently glides downward. In the locked position, a comfortable deflection of the spring is sensed. Stabilus gas springs can be manually adjusted with infinite variability, plus they operate smoothly and are maintenance free.

Backrest adjustment

Each person is built different from the next. Above all, body weight is critical to individual adjustment of the backrest. The goal is to achieve a healthful supportive effect so the back is supported and relieved throughout a long workday. 

Functionality

Occupational medicine physicians and swivel chair manufacturers rightly consider Stabilus a pioneer in the development of gas springs for ergonomic seating in the swivel chair industry. The switching valve in our gas springs enables adjustment of the backrest only when it is loaded. Only when the user leans back does the pressure actuate the release lever, and only then can the backrest be adjusted.

Benefits to you

  • excellent ergonomics due to continuous contact with the body
  • objective and subjective safety: no push-back from the backrest
  • adjustment only possible under load

BLOC-O-LIFT

Spring-locking gas springs with release lock

Seat angle adjustment

Seat and backrest tilt functionality enables balanced seating and active sitting posture training. These adjustments enable the spine and pelvis to carry weight differently. This is very much in line with the requirements for dynamic sitting, resulting in a linear increase in force through the entire range of movement. It’s also particularly important that the seat pan is at a negative angle for working in the forward-most sitting position.

Functionality

While the seat pan should be rigidly locked, it’s more comfortable for our backs when the fixed backrest yields a bit. The comfortable spring mechanism of our gas springs leaves nothing else to be desired here. An optional override function also protects the surrounding components from overload. Numerous sizes and strengths with different release paths as well as progressive or digressive spring behavior are available off the shelf. 

How you benefit

  • Numerous sizes and strengths available off the shelf
  • Linear increase in force through the entire range of movement
  • Available in various release paths
  • Optional override function to protect the surrounding components from overload
  • Available in progressive or digressive spring behavior

Swivel chair synchro-tilt adjustment

The synchro-tilt adjustment of swivel chairs is one of the most helpful functions for introducing movement into a long sitting period. It involves coupling the backrest with the seat pan so that when the angle of the backrest is changed, the seat pan follows to a certain degree. The body is optimally supported and relieved in any position, right in line with exacting ergonomic requirements.

Functionality

When it comes to synchronous adjustment of the seat pan and backrest angle, our gas springs that come in numerous sizes and strengths ensure sitting comfort. The desired counterpressure can thus be customized to an individual’s body weight. The linear spring characteristics ensure a uniformly low increase in force through the entire range of movement. Spring locking, short trigger paths, and progressive or digressive spring characteristics make Stabilus gas springs the first choice for swivel chairs.

How you benefit

  • Meets the most demanding ergonomic requirements
  • Numerous sizes and strengths available
  • Linear spring characteristics for a uniformly low increase in force through the entire range of movement
  • Spring locking
  • Short release path
  • Progressive or digressive spring characteristics
