Heavy Industrial Shock Absorbers
Deceleration of heavy loads and progressive adjustment
Adjustable
Energy capacity 21,000 in-lbs/Cycle to 390,000 in-lbs/Cycle
Strong and adjustable: Also in ACE's product range of units are adjustable heavy duty industrial shock absorbers. The models from the A1 1/2 to A3 range, which weigh between 16.6 lbs and 105.8 lbs (7.55 and 48 kg), are extremely robust, ready-to-install hydraulic machine components with impressively high energy absorption levels and a wide range of damping rates.
Their special aspect is the flexibility, as all the absorbers can be adjusted using a socket on the absorber base and be perfectly adapted to the application. The A models cover a range of effective weights from 0.66 lbs to 449,743 lbs. (0.3 to 204,000 kg) and can absorb up to 389,433 in-lbs. (44,000 Nm) energy.
These heavy duty, adjustable ACE industrial shock absorbers are the first choice in heavy duty applications and generally in heavy industrial maching design when the usage data has not been exactly determined.
