Profile Dampers
TUBUS TS

Compact size and smooth deceleration

Axial Soft Damping
Energy capacity 17.7 in-lbs/Cycle to 7,983 in-lbs/Cycle
Maximum stroke 0.28 in to 2.20 in

Energy absorption in a compact and uniform way: The TS (TUBUS soft) profile dampers are also manufactured from co-polyester elastomer. Due to the almost linear damping characteristic curve, the maintenance-free, ready-to-install components softly absorb the energy with minimum stress on the machine. Consistent damping is helped by the low temperature increase of the material during operation.

The TS product family impresses with maximum energy absorption within a range of 17.7 in-lbs to 8,549 in-lbs (2 Nm to 966 Nm) within a minimum height. The space-saving design has been implemented from Ø 0.55““ to Ø 4.21““ (Ø 14 mm to Ø 107 mm). The special screw supplied is used to simply and quickly secure the profile dampers in place.

Suitable for emergency stop and permanent applications, the cost-effective, durable TUBUS TS can be used as end position dampers in linear axes, in tool making and tool machines and in hydraulic, pneumatic and handling equipment.

Application Examples

Profile Dampers - TUBUS TS
The maintenance of wind turbines in open seas has long resulted in damage to maintenance boats. Because of impact velocity and swell, an increase in the boat's mass of up to 20 % must be taken into account when landing on a rigid mooring...
Profile Dampers - TUBUS TS
When training in zero gravity, a harness with bungee cords is used to ensure that trainees do not become disengaged. Three ACE profile dampers with a linear-working facility are utilized in this case. One TUBUS is positioned in the pneumatic...
