Exceptionally high endurance and with the lowest resetting force
Self-Compensating, Rolling Diaphragm Technology Energy capacity 175 in-lbs/Cycle to 1,200 in-lbs/Cycle Stroke 0.50 in to 1.00 in
Tried-and-tested and durable: With a hermetically sealed rolling diaphragm in each absorber, the MC150 to MC600 product family is suitable for an exceptionally high lifetime of use with up to 25 million cycles. The rolling diaphragm technology perfected by ACE ensures complete separation of the damping fluid from the surrounding air. This makes it possible for direct installation in a pressure chamber to provide end stop damping in pneumatic cylinders up to approximately 100 psi (7 bar).
The rolling diaphragm delivers very low return forces for these maintenance-free, ready-to-install absorbers. An integrated positive stop and progressive energy capacities, with a wide range of effective weight, make these miniature shock absorbers a winner. Furthermore, the use of a side load adapter allows impact angles of up to 25°. Stainless steel options are available for greater environmental compatibility. Self-compensating shock absorbers react to changing energy conditions, without adjustment.
These self compensating miniature shock absorbers are capable of universal mounting even inside a cylinder. These shocks are ideal for use in multitude of applications including material handling equipment, packaging equipment, medium robotics and machine tools.
