ACE shock absorbers are characterizedby the useof themost recent and innovative technolo- gies such as thepiston tube, stretchor rolling diaphragm seals. Thus, the shock absorbers offer the longest service life inhighenergy absorption. ACE industrial shock absorbers aremachine components that areeasy touse and also flexible inusewith theirmultitudeof optional accessories. Safetyshockabsorbers areused toprovide security inemergency stop applications. Auto warehouseunits, conveyors, or craneequip- ment, they are an inexpensive alternative to in- dustrial shockabsorbers.Safetyshockabsorbers aremaintenance-free, self-contained and con- structedwith an integratedpositive stop. They feature an integrateddiaphragm accumulator or workwith a compressednitrogenbladder. ACE offers safety shock absorberswith strokes from 23 to1200mm. Followingmodel selectionwe calculate the layout of thedampingorifices for your individual requirements. The innovative TUBUSbumpers are a cost-efficient alternative for emergency stop applications and continous use. They aremade from a special co-polyester elastomer. They constantly absorbenergies in areas inwhich othermaterials fail. Theexcellent damping characteristics are achieved as a result of the special elastomermaterial and theworld-wide- patenteddesign. Thebumpers are constructed to absorbenergywith adamping curve that is declining (TA-series), almost linear (TS-series) or progressive (TR-series). The TUBUS series comprises7main typeswithover 140 individual models. HydraulicDampersand FeedControls Feedcontrols are infinitely adjustable and provide accurate feed rate control. They are ideal for sawing, grinding andboringmachines. Hydraulicdampers areused to control traverse rates. They can control theparallel feed inboth directionsor beusedasacompensatingelement formoving loads. As a security element, they prevent the sudden retractionof devices. IndustrialGasSprings Gassprings (push type) canbeusedwithall applications inwhich the liftingand loweringof loadsmust becontrolled. Theysupportmanual forcesandareused tocontrol the liftingand loweringof lids, flaps, hoodsetc. Theyaremain- tenance-free, self-containedanddeliverable from stock. Their integral greasechamber providesa lower breakaway force, reduced frictionand extremely long life. Industrial tractiongassprings areeffective in thepullingdirection. Both types are fittedwith a valve. This allowsmatching to the required force for any application.
