An ever-increasing number of car models are supplied either as standard or as an option with automatically opening tailgate. After our introduction of electric gas springs back in 2019, we have expanded the program several times. Now we have more than doubled the number of references, and with 73 references we have the market's largest program ready for delivery.

The technique of an electric gas spring
Although the term gas spring is colloquially used - and the electric version of appearance is also often reminiscent of a gas spring, the technique is quite different. The cylinder of the gas spring is not filled with gas, but rather an ordinary mechanical spring and a spindle, which is driven by an electric motor.
In-house test facilities
Our in-house test facilities have been expanded with a durability tester, where we can run cyclic tests over several days with different loads. In addition to this option, we also have our tensile and pressure tester and our salt mist chamber for corrosion testing.
