Gas spring STABILUS A130WE-7AEF 100N — damping gas strut 100 N

The STABILUS Gas Spring A130WE-7AEF 100N is a compact, controlled-force gas spring designed to provide smooth, damped motion for applications requiring lift assistance and positioning. With a nominal force of 100 N, this gas spring helps manage weights and counterbalance loads in furniture, access panels, and similar fixtures, delivering reliable performance in a small form factor.

Advantages

This gas spring offers controlled extension and retraction with consistent force throughout its stroke. Its compact design makes it suitable for installations with limited space while maintaining stable support and dampening. The cylinder and piston are engineered to minimize friction and provide long service life under normal use conditions. The product is built for straightforward integration into mechanical assemblies where predictable movement and hold-in-position functionality are required.

Suitable for

• Lift and support of lightweight lids, flaps, and access panels
• Counterbalancing small cabinet doors and furniture components
• Damped opening and closing of enclosures in office or residential furniture
• Applications requiring compact gas springs with moderate force

Key specifications

• Nominal force: 100 N
• Type: gas spring with controlled damping
• Design: compact cylinder and piston suitable for limited installation space
• Function: lift assistance, counterbalance, damped motion and position holding
• Typical applications: furniture lids, access panels, small doors and flaps

How to use

Mount the gas spring according to the installation geometry recommended for combined piston rod and cylinder travel, ensuring the piston rod orientation follows manufacturer guidance for longevity. Securely attach end fittings to matching brackets or mounting points and verify that the stroke and force are suitable for the load. Test the motion slowly during initial operation to confirm smooth extension and retraction and to ensure the spring provides the intended support and damping. Avoid exposure to corrosive environments or temperatures outside the product's rated operating range.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, match the nominal force to the weight of the component being supported and confirm that mounting angles and stroke length provide the required range of motion. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and attachment points for wear or loosening, and replace the gas spring if performance degrades or if visible damage occurs.
