The World's Most Effective Deceleration Technology to...
|
Virtually all manufacturing processes involve movement of some kind. In production machinery this can involve linear transfers, rotary index motions, fast feeds etc. At some point these motions change direction or come to a stop.
Any moving object possesses kinetic energy as a result of its motion and if the object changes direction or is brought to rest, the dissipation of this kinetic energy can result in destructive shock forces within the structural and operating parts of the machine.
Older methods of energy absorption such as rubber buffers, springs, hydraulic dashpots and cylinder cushions do not provide this required smooth deceleration characteristic – they are non linear and produce high peak forces at some point during their stroke.
The optimum solution is achieved by an ACE industrial shock absorber. This utilizes a series of metering orifices spaced throughout its stroke length and provides a constant linear deceleration with the lowest possible reaction force in the shortest stopping time
