Adjustable, Without Free Travel Compression and extension force 6.74 to 674.43 lbs Stroke 1.97 to 15.75 inch
Damping either in one or both directions: The hydraulic dampers of the product family HBS are made in a slim gas spring design and are compact and high performance. Maintenance-free and ready-to-install they allow precise setting of retraction and extension speeds without any free travel when changing direction.
These hydraulic dampers offer constant feeding rates and can be finely tuned via the screw adjustment. A control segment on the piston makes the adjustment at the end position child’s play. Thanks to many add-on components the assembly is easy to mount, so that the damper can be universally deployed for damping back and forth swinging masses, such as in power and free conveyors.
In addition to the automotive sector, the application areas are automation and machine building, the electronics and furniture industry and medical technology.
Compression and extension force 6.74 to 674.43 lbs
Stroke 1.97 to 15.75 inch
Outer body diameter 1.1 inch
Piston rod diameter 0.31 inch
Lifetime Approx. 250,000 cycles
Operating temperature range -4 to 176 °F
Adjustment Achieved by turning the piston rod in its fully extended or fully compressed position., Clockwise rotation = increase of the damping, Anti-clockwise rotation = decrease of the damping, Damping force adjustable before installation. The adjustment can add a max. of 5 mm to the L dimension.
