EHI is an authorised Australian supplier of Bansbach easylift gas springs - the gas struts, dampers and actuators that lift, hold, lower and position lids, hatches, covers, panels and machine guards. Whether you are matching an existing strut or specifying a new one from scratch, tell us the job and we will size and quote it.
Gas springs are made to order against your force, stroke and mounting. Use the guided enquiry below - the more detail you give, the faster we can turn it around. Not sure of every value? Send what you have; our team sizes them every day.
Types we supply
- Standard gas springs (push) - the workhorse pushing strut that lifts and holds.
- Lockable gas springs - lock rigidly at any point in the stroke for height adjustment and positioning (rigid in push, pull, or both).
- Gas traction springs (pull) - apply force to close or pull together rather than push open.
- Stainless steel gas springs - corrosion-resistant build for marine, food, medical and washdown environments.
- In-line actuators (easy-E-line) - electric linear actuators for powered movement where a gas spring alone won't do.

Why Bansbach
German-engineered since 1919, Bansbach builds gas springs for applications where failure isn't acceptable. CeramPro surface treatment outlasts standard chrome plating, the integrated grease chamber keeps the piston rod running smoothly after thousands of cycles, and the low breakaway force gives a smooth open every time. Aviation certified, with medical-grade stainless available, built in Germany.

What we need to size your gas spring
The essentials are force (how hard it needs to push or pull, in newtons), stroke (how far it travels), and the mounting / end fittings at each end. If you are matching an existing part, the old part number or a photo of the label is usually enough. Drawings and datasheets are welcome - email them to cs@ehi.com.au.
