Introducing our revolutionary Stop and Stay, as well as the Stop and Stay+, products. These cutting-edge Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts are designed to elevate your level of control and precision.
By precisely counterbalancing the weight of your application throughout the entire stroke, our products revolutionize multi-position positioning. Unlike standard gas struts, when expertly set, they provide unwavering support to your object in its existing position. This empowers you with complete authority over its placement and movement at all times. No more uncontrollable shifts or unexpected displacement.
Built on the principle of counterbalancing, our Stop and Stay range ensures the even distribution of weight, offering you unparalleled stability throughout the gas strut's full stroke. With this innovative design, you can achieve precise positioning in multiple configurations, unrestricted by concerns of your object shifting out of place.
What do the friction locking compression gas struts range ‘Stop and Stay / Stop and Stay+’ do?
Introducing our Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts – the ultimate solution for precise and effortless positioning of screens or other appliances. With an internal pre-set friction control valve, these innovative gas struts counterbalance the weight of your application, enabling multi-position holding without any manual adjustment required. Experience the freedom to place your screens or appliances exactly where you need them, for as long as you desire.
Our Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts feature a specially-designed internal friction valve that is pre-set to the weight of your specific application, making installation quick and easy. With this advanced technology, you can achieve optimal positioning without the hassle of constant adjustments.
But that’s not all. Our remarkable range of Stop and Stay products takes control to the next level. Designed to provide total control over position, they allow you to effortlessly raise, lower, and set your application in any desired position, requiring minimal effort and time. Unlike locked-in position mechanisms like the Blocklift product, our Stop and Stay gas springs simply hold the position until you decide to move them again.
The versatility of Stop and Stay gas springs is unmatched. Ideal for a wide variety of applications such as canopies, monitor arms, acoustic hoods, delicatessen counters, sunbeds, and many more, they offer reliable and customisable positioning solutions for any project.

How does the Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts (External & Internal) – Stop and Stay / Stop and Stay+ work?
Experience the effortless installation and precise adjustability of our Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts. With a straightforward fitting process and simple adjustments, you can easily determine the optimal level of support for your application. Once installed, enjoy fingertip control, allowing you to effortlessly position your object anywhere you desire.
Our Stop & Stay product takes it a step further. By adjusting the locknut to match the weight of your application, a ‘stick-slip’ friction is applied to the rod, providing additional stability and control.
For those seeking an internal locking mechanism, our Friction Locking Compression Gas Struts are the perfect choice. With the locking mechanism conveniently factory set, these gas struts are specifically designed for installation in volume manufacturing environments, offering efficiency and reliability.
Trust Camloc for gas spring solutions that are not only easy to fit but also offer precise adjustability and reliable stability. Our products are designed to meet the demands of various industries, ensuring your projects achieve the highest levels of performance and efficiency.
