TheACE TUBUSbumper is designed toprevent overrunon the high speed loading stationof aCamshaftmachining centreused in the automobile industry. In theevent that thedrive train fails during operationor incorrect data is inputted theACE TUBUSbumper absorbs the impact preventing costly damage to themachine. The TA98-40 TUBUSbumper impressedengineerswith this excep- tionally long service life inoperation. Whenused as anemergency stop the TUBUSbumper can absorb up to73%of the impact energy. TUBUSbumpers safeguardhydraulic cylinders. In a testing facility for vehicle tanks, the test specimens arepulled out of thewater with a support arm. Ahydraulic cylinder carries out the swingingmovement and is attenuated in theendposition by two TUBUS TR85-50 . Even if thiswork couldbe takenover by other absorber solutions, theenergy balance clearly speaks for thebenefits of the TUBUS bumpers– they are inexpensive, they save space, they are freeof leaks due to solid construction and are suitable for underwater functions in the test pool.
