Stabilus supplier in Romania
Gas springs and motion control systems
Founded in 1934 · Headquarters: Koblenz, Germany
Who is Stabilus and what does it make?
Stabilus is a German manufacturer of gas springs, hydraulic dampers and electric linear actuation systems, headquartered in Koblenz, where the company was founded in 1934. The range covers non-lockable gas springs (Lift-O-Mat), lockable gas springs (Bloc-O-Lift, Kombi-Lift), motion and vibration dampers (Stab-O-Shoc) and electromechanical actuation systems (Industrial Powerise). From the Stabilus range we can quote motion control components for industrial machines, technical furniture and medical equipment.
What sets Stabilus apart is its coverage of motion control — from simply holding up a cover (Lift-O-Mat) to rigid locking in any position (Bloc-O-Lift) and dedicated vibration damping (the Stab-O-Shoc range, series HD and GD, with versions for low and high loads). The Industrial Powerise systems (the IPR35/IPR40 family) bring electric actuation, with synchronous operation of up to four units on the IPR35 Smart version and forces of up to 5 kN on the IPR40 series.
For Romania, Stabilus is relevant to manufacturers of technical furniture, medical equipment (hospital beds, operating tables) and industrial machines that need replacement gas springs or dampers, as well as to integrators who design covers, access doors or service panels that must be held up or damped in a controlled way.
What do we supply from the Stabilus range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Lift-O-Mat gas springs | Non-lockable gas springs, for the controlled support of covers, doors and access panels, with hydraulic damping or damping using 'groove-in-the-tube' technology and temperature compensation. Available in a wide range of forces and lengths. Applications: car bonnets and boot lids, technical doors, industrial maintenance panels. For a quotation, the customer states the force required, the stroke and the type of end fittings. |
| Lockable gas springs Bloc-O-Lift / Kombi-Lift | Gas springs with elastic or rigid locking, where the position must be fixed firmly — hospital beds, operating tables, swivel chairs, caravan tables. The oil version offers a higher locking force than the elastic one. Kombi-Lift combines the functions of the lockable and the non-lockable spring, through a special channel in the pressure tube that allows selective locking along the stroke, for example on the tailgates of tall vehicles. For a quotation, the customer specifies the locking force, the mounting orientation and the type of release. |
| Stab-O-Shoc dampers | Hydraulic motion, stopping and vibration dampers, in series for low loads (HD 15, GD 15) and high loads (HD 24/29, GD 24/29), with versions dependent on or independent of the mounting position, some with a separating piston. They protect against sudden closing/opening of covers. Application: damping of heavy covers on machinery and commercial vehicles. For a quotation, the customer states the load, the mounting orientation and whether a vibration function is needed. |
| Industrial Powerise electric systems | Electromechanical linear actuation systems, the IPR35 and IPR40 family, with external or integrated (Smart) control and forces of up to 2.5 kN on IPR35 and up to 5 kN on IPR40. The IPR35 Smart version allows synchronous operation of up to four units, and the IPR40 Smart has internal control and EN ISO 13849-1 conformity; CAN bus communication is listed in the manufacturer's technical documentation as available later. For flaps and movement systems where a gas spring does not offer sufficient position control. For a quotation, the customer specifies the force, the stroke and the need for synchronisation. |

How do we supply Stabilus in Romania?
For Stabilus we go strictly by what the manufacturer publishes — we say clearly what we can confirm from the range. We bring in gas springs, dampers and Powerise systems through EU supply channels, to order, usually within 1–4 weeks of placing the order. For a quotation, the customer sends the code from the existing spring (if it is a replacement part) or the force, stroke and type of end fittings for a new application. We do not promise permanent availability from stock — each configuration is checked individually before confirmation.
Electronic configuration of the Industrial Powerise Smart systems (electronic parameterisation) is the responsibility of the integrator or the manufacturer's technical service.
Frequently asked questions about Stabilus
What is the difference between a Stabilus gas spring and a Stab-O-Shoc damper?
The gas spring from the Lift-O-Mat family supports and moves a component, such as a cover or a door, using the gas pressure inside, while a Stab-O-Shoc damper controls the speed of movement of a part without actively supporting it. Many applications combine both functions, a spring that lifts and a damper that reduces speed at the end of the stroke.
What is the Stabilus Powerise system?
Powerise is the manufacturer's electromechanical system, used for the automatic opening and closing of the tailgate or bonnet on motor vehicles, but also in industrial applications where controlled motorised movement is needed. It replaces the classic gas spring where remote actuation or stopping in any intermediate position is wanted.
Do you supply Stabilus gas springs and dampers in Romania?
Yes, Stabilus gas springs and dampers arrive to order, usually within 1–4 weeks, since this is not a range kept on the shelf, given the large number of forces and lengths available. For a correct quotation we need the force required, the working stroke and the attachment points of your application.
How do I request a Stabilus quotation?
Send the Stabilus code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
