For long, soft braking action: The TUBUS TR models deliver linear damping forces. These maintenance-free, ready-to-install elements are made of co-polyester elastomer, which only heats up slightly during operation and therefore provides consistent damping.
The radial loading enables a very long and soft deceleration with progressive energy reduction at the end of the stroke. The TR product family has been specially designed for maximum stroke with a minimum height, producing energy absorption per stroke extending from 10.6 in-lbs to 1,292 in-lbs. (1.2 Nm to 146 Nm). The dampers are available in compact formats of Ø 1.14““ to Ø 3.94““(Ø 29 mm to Ø 100 mm) and are supplied with a special screw for simple, quick assembly.
The TUBUS TR products are suitable as end position dampers in linear axes, in tool making and tool machines, in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, handling equipment and other applications.
