Why GASTAC Gas Springs Match Bloc O Lift Performance

With more than two decades of experience in industrial motion control systems, it is clear that lockable gas springs have become indispensable components in medical furniture, height-adjustable workstations, and industrial equipment. Among these solutions, Bloc O Lift technology developed by Stabilus remains the industry reference for applications requiring precise, reliable position locking.

Specific models such as stabilus bloc o lift , bloc o lift , or stabilus bloc o lift 0200n are frequently specified by engineers who demand stable force output, controlled motion, and long-term durability. As procurement pressure increases and lead times become less predictable, many manufacturers now seek alternatives that can truly match the performance of these well-known Bloc O Lift variants.

This is where GASTAC Gas Springs have proven their value.

Bloc O Lift belongs to a specialized category of lockable gas springs (ressorts à gaz blocables). Its core technology is based on a piston–valve system that separates internal pressure chambers, allowing elastic or rigid locking at virtually any position along the stroke.

Across the Stabilus portfolio—from compact solutions like stabilus stab o bloc to higher-force configurations such as stabilus bloc o lift—the same engineering principles apply:

These characteristics define the reference standard that any true performance-equivalent alternative must achieve.

Whether engineers specify a bloc o lift for height-adjustable furniture or a higher-force solution for industrial equipment, expectations remain consistent:

GASTAC gas springs are engineered around these same functional expectations, not merely dimensional similarity.

GASTAC has systematically aligned its lockable gas spring designs with the operating characteristics established by Bloc O Lift technology.

Testing and field use confirm that GASTAC gas springs deliver flat, progressive force curves comparable to those associated with bloc o lift and stabilus bloc o lift 0200n configurations. This consistency is achieved through:

As a result, force deviation across the stroke typically remains within 3–5%, consistent with premium Bloc O Lift expectations.

GASTAC offers a wide range of the most popular Bloc O Lift OEM specifications, catering to medical, furniture, and industrial applications.

This ensures you have all the information needed to make informed decisions and implement reliable motion control solutions in your designs.

The locking systems used in GASTAC gas springs follow the same valve-based separation principles that define Bloc O Lift products developed by Stabilus in Germany, including those engineered at facilities associated with 56070 Koblenz.

Depending on application requirements, GASTAC offers:

In applications where stabilus bloc o lift is traditionally specified, GASTAC units demonstrate equivalent locking stability and operational safety.

In hospital beds, examination chairs, and medical carts—where stabilus bloc o lift 0200n is frequently referenced—GASTAC gas springs provide:

Retrofit projects typically require minimal design changes due to compatible stroke lengths and mounting standards.

For standing desks and ergonomic workstations, commonly associated with bloc o lift or stabilus stab o bloc, GASTAC offers:

The flat force curve ensures a stable and predictable user experience at all positions.

In industrial machinery and enclosures requiring higher force ratings, GASTAC gas springs match the performance expectations established by solutions originating from Stabilus engineering centers near 56070 by providing:

Matching Bloc O Lift performance requires disciplined manufacturing processes. GASTAC applies strict quality control measures, including:

This ensures consistent, repeatable performance across production batches.

While delivering performance comparable to stabilus bloc o lift 1300, bloc o lift 320, and other widely searched Bloc O Lift references, GASTAC gas springs typically offer 15–30% cost advantages due to:

For OEMs and equipment manufacturers, this translates into measurable savings without sacrificing functionality or reliability.

GASTAC Gas Springs match Bloc O Lift performance through precise engineering, stable force behavior, and reliable locking mechanisms validated across real-world applications. The same performance principles that define products engineered by Stabilus in 56070 Koblenz are fully realized in GASTAC alternatives.

For manufacturers seeking Bloc O Lift–equivalent performance with improved cost control, shorter lead times, and flexible customization, GASTAC represents a technically proven and commercially intelligent choice.
