TIEYING SOFT-O-TOUCH allows lifting, lowering, and adjusting components at the push of a button.
Five push-buttons to bring movement to your application
Our SOFT-O-TOUCH programme offers complete release systems for TIEYING BLOC-O-LIFT gas springs. Pre-assembled Bowden cables connect push-buttons -that can be ideally positioned for easy actuation - with hard to reach BLOC-O-LIFT gas springs in your application. These ergonomic push-buttons are easily actuated due to specially designed release heads. High quality materials and attractive designs make
SOFT-O-TOUCH ideal for many sophisticated applications in the furniture and medical industries as well as in vehicle seats and the general engineering segment. Push-buttons with axial or lateral Bowden cable configurations give you even more design flexibility. The result: Comfort, which will give your products added value.

SOFT-O-TOUCH Cable release
This program offers complete release systems with an attractive design. Five different ergonomic push-buttons and levers with axial or lateral Bowden cable configurations as well as two different release heads give you even more flexibility in your design and in positioning the gas spring in your application.
Further BLOC-O-LIFT release systems
In the standard version, the BLOC-O-LIFT uses a sliding valve with an release stroke of 2.5 mm. A seat valve is available for short stroke of 1 mm and very easy operation.
Indirect Bowden cable release
A Bowden cable release is used when the release mechanism cannot be installed directly on the gas spring. This system consists of a release head, a Bowden cable with optional lengths, and the release unit.
Direct release
For applications with direct release on the gas spring, there are release heads with diefferent lever variants.
We will gladly help you select the right system.
Application Examples
● Backrest and armrest adjustment in swivel chairs
● Table height adjustment
● Head and foot panel adjustment in treatment tables and beds
The BLOC-O-LIFT gas springs are so-called locking gas springs. They are used for functions such as adjustments with force support, damping, as well as infi nitely variable locking. This is achieved with a special piston valve system. If the valve is open, BLOC-O-LIFT provides force support and damping. If the valve is closed, the gas spring locks and provides high resistance to any motion. Basically, there are two types of valve design: a sliding valve with standard actuation of 2.5 mm, and the seat valve with an actuation of 1 mm for extremely short actuation distances. BLOC-O-LIFT can have spring or rigid locking. The rigid locking version is available as orientation-specifi c or nonorientation specifi c. Depending on the application, BLOC-O-LIFT can be equipped with a patented, corrosion-free actuation tappet. Primary application areas for BLOC-O-LIFT gas springs are furniture manufacture, medical technology, building technology, aviation and aeronautics, automotive design, and many industrial applications.
