The Step-Stop is a multi-section operating gas spring dividing the opening stroke into multi distinct sections for desired flap positioning. The Step-Stop operates much like a normal gas spring in that it allows a lid or door to open to a desired position and lock internally.

The multi stroke sections are achieved by grooves and holding points on the tube. The Step-Stop gas spring stops at each holding point and will not operate until it is reactivated by an additional break away force, thus enabling multi positioning on your applications flap, etc.

Another feature of Step-Stop gas springs is that by using special piston types the operating feature can be set to different operating behavior at each stroke section.

• Step-Stop gas springs are available with as many stroke sections as required. 

• The travel of the gas spring within holding points can be either:

- with free travel (like normal Lift gas springs)
- with multi-position holding capability over the selected stroke section (like the Stoplift)

• The gas spring will work in the same way when compressing  and closing the lid.
