Product damage causedby high-speed accel- eration anddeceleration is virtually eliminated by controlling reaction forces through the tow bar. TheACEControls snubber absorbs energy so that noneof theharmful effects from abrupt starts and stops are transferred to theproduct. With the additionof our newmodular design hydraulic units,manymoreopportunities are realized for greatermasses tobe controlled. Theseunits start with a compact cartridge whichutilizes oil that canoperate from freezer toovenenvironments. Theunique cartridge designoffers a simple andeffective solution toproviding a smoothprecise stroke travel. End fittings andoverall snubber length arede- signed to customer specifications for greater freedomof use innontraditional applications. Theseunits come standard ineither 4" or 6" strokes, and canbeofferedwithoptional items such as steel sleeves toprotect the rod from paint, weld slag, andother contamination.
