Rotary Dampers
FDN

The flat disc brake for one direction of rotation

Continuous Rotation
Damping torque 2.66 in-lbs to 97.36 in-lbs

The damping direction of the flat, strong FDN rotary dampers with steel body can be either right or left rotation. They can brake directly in the pivot point. ACE rotary dampers are maintenance-free and ready-to-install.

Rotary damper products are built to metric specifications. For precise measurements, please refer to the ACE rotary damper catalog or contact an application expert.

Technical Data

Damping torque 2.66 in-lbs to 97.36 in-lbs

Damping direction right or left

Construction size Ø 1.85 in to 2.76 in

Rotational speed max. 50 rpm

Lifetime 50,000 cycles (1 cycle = 360° left-hand, 360° right-hand). Even after this time, the dampers still produce over approx. 80 % of their original damping moment. The service life may be significantly higher or lower, depending on the application.

Operating temperature range 14 °F to 140 °F

Material Outer body: Steel; Output shaft sleeve: nylon with metal freewheel

Mounting In any position

Information to the shaft FDN-47: Ø 0.24 +0 / -0.001
FDN-57 to FDN-70: Ø 0.39 +0 / -0.001
Hardness > HRC55, surface smoothness RZ < 1µm

Mounting information

Turn the shaft in the opposite direction to the brake direction to avoid damaging the freewheel mount. No axial or radial forces may be induced via the shaft.

Safety information

Do not use rotary dampers as supports. Provide an external guide or support.
