Improved comfort + greater safety = more fun Gas springs and dampers for recreation and hobbies

Finally, it’s happy hour, the weekend, or vacation time! As a system provider or a manufacturer of recreational equipment, you know best what your customers want: Sunbathing in the solarium, slaloming down the ski slope, working out in the gym, enjoying environmentally friendly fun on the e-bike  – or even delighting in spine-tingling thrills at the amusement park.

In these and many other applications, high-quality gas springs and damper elements from Stabilus ensure controlled, safe, force-assisted operation. Similarly, they protect the users of equipment and rides against uncomfortable impacts and vibrations. They make sure recreation and hobbies only revolve around fun.

Solariums

A brief but welcome time out from the daily routine, combined with some summer's warmth and a fresh glow to the skin – good reasons for visiting a tanning studio or solarium. Easy operation of tanning bed and lid is equally important. With our gas springs, all equipment and elements can be brought into position, retained, and returned to their position easily and securely.

Functionality

The Stabilus Group’s solutions make it incredibly easy to open and close the heavy lid of a tanning bed even when lying down. They provide reliable protection against undesired movement and keep the lid from slamming. Furthermore, they provide the force assistance that employees and visitors have grown to appreciate.

Rides and flight simulators

Roller coasters, the Breakdance, and more: visitors experience an exciting thrill thanks to the profound technical and engineering knowledge of the ride's manufacturer. 

Another application: flight simulators. In these machines, pilots need to experience on the ground exactly what will be demanded of them in the air. The movements of the simulator and seat are as realistic as possible, just how they need to be. 

Functionality

Gas springs and dampers not only protect visitors and employees, but also promote the availability and long service life of equipment and vehicles. In addition, they help with individual adjustment of the seat, steering wheel, rudder pedals, and other cockpit elements. Damper elements are also installed on the tripod, in addition to the hydraulic cylinders.

New mobility in the urban environment

Want to get from A to B quickly, on battery power, and without environmental emissions? With an e-bike, electric cargo bike, or e-scooter, that's no problem. It's even more fun for drivers if they don’t have to suffer every jolt caused by minor unevenness in the road. Good thing Stabilus products protect against that. 

Similarly, the new mobility in the urban environment means a growing need for bike parking. Stabilus Group gas springs support simple, quick, and easy placement of the bike in these applications.

Functionality

An important application area for our gas springs: They support the rain cover or flap over the cargo bike’s box during opening and closing.
