Gas struts and dampers for aviation

Lightweight dampers from SUSPA help to avoid downward-opening stowage compartments from hard impacts or excessive vibration amplitudes.

Features

• Protection of the components against overload by actively limiting the damping force using an innovative valve system 
• By adjusting the damping force, a simple modification of the opening speed is possible with the same space requirement 
• Easy Close Feature - easy closing of the loaded stowage compartments - the necessary hand force of the operator is reduced by up to 30%

The lightweight lockable gas struts are ideal for the comfortable and safe adjustment of the sitting and lying position of passenger and pilot seats. They convince with an excellent weight-performance ratio. High-tensile aluminium is used as basic material for the piston rod, which means that the component weight can be reduced by up to 30% while maintaining the same mechanical properties. 

Complete solution (Gas strut, release system, bowden cable and release button)

The release system is quick and easy to assemble and allows flexible positioning of the gas strut. It is weight-optimized thanks to the use of high-performance plastics.
