Gas Lifts A gas lift is the cylinder that connects the base to the control mechanism and powers the chair’s ability to adjust up and down. Via Seating pneumatic gas lifts are made by the same manufacturer that produces shock absorbers for several luxury car brands. For our gas lifts, we require the same quality & functionality used for their car shock absorbers. This is achieved through three key elements built into every Via Seating gas lift: 1. Strongest Steel : thick & of superior quality; 2. Double Seal : to avoid the number one gas lift failure—gas leaking from the chamber—our gas lifts are double sealed; 3. Clean Deal : produced in a “clean room” where imperfections are smoothed out & dust/impurities that could compromise the seal are avoided.
Hardware When Via Seating connects arms & control mechanisms to our chair, we only use superior hardware from a quality & process perspective: Quality : Surpassing the minimally required, off-the-shelf, grade 3 metallurgy, Via chooses to use grade 8 hardware in our seating. This superior material is designed to not fail and we have tested it extensively all the way up past Heavy-Duty 24/7 requirements in our ISO accredited lab. The result is lasting metal connections that don’t have to be tightened by the customer to maintain our warranty. Process: When connecting arms & mechansisms to our seat wood, we do not use easily breakable wood screws. We only use metal-to-metal connections, which are further reinforced by loctite patches. These liquid threadlocker adhesives create a cured & sealed thermoset bond that lasts.
