Gas struts and dampers for aviation

SUSPA gas struts, lockable gas struts and dampers can easily keep up with the demanding requirements of aviation. Our special products with lightweight dimensions can be found in luggage storage compartments, vehicle seats and in other cabin furnishings.

  • Stowage compartments

    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%

  • Airplane seats

    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.
