Ensure the effective dampening of impacts with this shock absorber from Festo. The unit uses compressed air or oil to provide soft cushioning and stop the movement of a load smoothly and slowly by converting and dissipating kinetic energy. Self-adjusting cushioning provides optimal absorption every time, even if parameters like frictions and pressures change. It resets at between 0.2 and 1 second to ensure the efficient channelling of jolts in high-impact and fast-moving equipment.
• Moderate corrosion stress and high tensile strength ensure it won't crack or break when exposed to external impacts and pressures • High alloy steel composition for durability and longevity • Operating temperature range of -10°C to +80°C enables use in harsh environments
Applications
• Suspension systems • Automation control • Robots • Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
What are the benefits of using shock absorbers with machinery?
Because shock absorbers reduce the effects of impacts and vibrations on machinery, they extend the lifespan of the equipment. By preventing equipment damage, they limit production downtimes and maintenance costs. You can also increase the operating speeds of machinery when you fit shock absorbers.
