Gas springs for lift-top & height-adjustable tables

A lift-top coffee table and a height-adjustable pedestal use different mechanisms. Identify the action and whether you need a bare gas spring or a complete column, then compare the relevant reference.

Lift-top & adjustable tables — full furniture model with gas spring position highlighted in red
APPLICATION MODEL · Red highlights the gas spring position. Mounting layout varies by mechanism.
WHERE IT WORKS

Inside the lift-top linkage, or inside the vertical height-adjustment column.

Lift-top mechanisms raise and move a tabletop. A released locking spring or purpose-built column enables controlled height adjustment and holds the chosen position.

Lockable gas spring with cable release and lever; suitable configuration depends on the table mechanism
Lockable gas spring with cable release shown. A lift-top mechanism may instead use a compression support.

Lift-top coffee tables

Swing-up tabletop mechanisms may combine a strut, linkage and closing control.

Side tables & bistro tables

Pneumatic columns combine the internal spring with guides, mounting flanges and release control.

Worktables & lecterns

Match adjustment travel, installation space and release operation to the complete assembly.
