Gas springs for lift-top tables and height-adjustable work surfaces

Compression supports for lift-top coffee tables and lockable gas springs for the height-adjustment mechanisms of tables, work surfaces and lecterns. Spring bodies, end fittings and release controls are specified for the table assembly; complete columns are a separate configuration.

Lift-top & adjustable tables — full furniture model with gas spring position highlighted in red
APPLICATION MODEL · Red highlights the gas spring position. Mounting layout varies by mechanism.
WHERE IT WORKS

Inside the lift-top linkage, or inside the vertical height-adjustment column.

Lift-top mechanisms raise and move a tabletop with a compression support. A lockable gas spring provides adjustment and holding within a suitable table column or linkage. Horizon quotes the gas-spring component and selected release parts; the complete table mechanism is a separate assembly.

Lockable gas spring with cable release and lever; suitable configuration depends on the table mechanism
Lockable gas spring with cable release shown. A lift-top mechanism may instead use a compression support.

Lift-top coffee tables

Swing-up tabletop mechanisms may combine a strut, linkage and closing control.

Side tables & bistro tables

Pneumatic columns combine the internal spring with guides, mounting flanges and release control.

Worktables & lecterns

Match adjustment travel, installation space and release operation to the complete assembly.
