Aug 13, 2026 | Springs & shock absorbers

The Stabilus Group’s products – such as gas springs, dampers, electromechanical actuators and grippers for automation – are used in a wide range of applications and industries.

Whether for mass-produced items, limited-run productions, or custom-made components, the solutions offered by the Group demonstrate their quality and reliability in every single movement, day after day.

The right gas spring

When it comes to gas springs, the Group serves as a competent, globally active partner, offering a portfolio of nearly 700,000 product variants through four expert brands based in Germany and via subsidiaries around the world.

The range of applications for these gas springs extends far beyond lifting, lowering, opening, and closing objects in the automotive and commercial vehicle sectors. In addition to their use in swivel chairs, they are employed across the broader furniture market, in industrial systems and mechanical engineering, as well as in medical, aerospace, and defense technologies.

Stabilus Group gas springs are also popular components in construction and building technology, construction machinery, caravans and trailers as well as for specialty vehicle manufacturing. They provide movement, support, and damping in a wide variety of settings. They augment human physical strength and are indispensable wherever hoods, flaps, hatches, doors and other components of a construction need to be moved safely and conveniently into specific end positions.

Thanks to four expert brands and the resulting flexibility, the Stabilus Group offers the right gas spring for every application in all quantities

The Stabilus Motion Control Ecosystem

The Stabilus Group is flexibly positioned to meet the diverse requirements for motion control via gas springs across various applications and markets. Rather than relying on a single distribution channel, the company offers multiple routes to the customer. These are integrated into a unified motion control ecosystem that links expert brands – ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH, HAHN Gasfedern GmbH, Stabilus, and General Aerospace GmbH – combining their engineering expertise and business models.

For instance, if customers require gas springs and tailored system advice for industrial applications, the specialist brand ACE supplies small to medium volumes – featuring valve technology for custom force adjustment – as off-the-shelf catalog products available immediately, with prototypes delivered within 24 hours. HAHN Gasfedern GmbH manufactures products ranging from single units to large-scale series, always customized to individual specifications and delivered with short lead times.

This specialist brand is also a leader in stainless steel products and custom solutions – such as high- and low-temperature seals, seals for heavy-duty construction machinery applications, protective tubes and other special features. For decades, Stabilus has provided customers with high-quality gas springs as OEM and series solutions, leveraging large-scale production, a global presence, and automotive-grade quality standards. And when customers seek bespoke, certified gas springs for safety-critical aerospace applications, they find the right solution within the Stabilus Group at General Aerospace GmbH.

Together, these four expert brands form an interconnected system serving a wide range of industries and motion control needs, complete with application engineering and personalized system consulting.
