Adjustable Compression force 6.74 lbs to 787 lbs Stroke 0.59 in to 4.92 in
Precise adjustment for any type of application: Hydraulic feed controls of the product family VC are ideally suited for the precise tuning of constant feed rates. The thread of the outer body of this closed hydraulic element allows simple assembly. Smooth outer bodies can also be supplied.
As the hydraulic oil is forced out through the throttle opening, a constant feed rate is achieved on the stroke. In the models up to 2.17““ (55 mm) stroke, the tried and tested rolling diaphragm, known from ACE shock absorbers, serves as a dynamic seal, as volume compensation of the piston rod and as a reset element.
Precision hydraulic feed controls of the product family VC are used in automotive and industrial applications as well as in mechanical engineering and the electronics industry.
Impact velocity range At speeds of 0.98 ft/sec the maximum allowed energy is approx. 8.85 in-lbs for units up to 2.16 in stroke and approx. 17.70 in-lbs for units 2.95 in to 4.92 in stroke. Where higher energies occur use a shock absorber for the initial impact. Avoid high impact velocities.
Adjustment Infinitely adjustable
Positive stop External positive stops 0.04 in to 0.06 in before the end of stroke provided by the customer.

Technical Notes
Note
Nylon button can be fitted onto piston rod. Unit may be mounted in any position.
Safety information
Do not rotate piston rod, if excessive rotation force is applied rolling seal may rupture. External materials in the surrounding area can attack the seal components and lead to a shorter service life. Please contact ACE for appropriate solution suggestions.

Inclination compensation for handbike sports sleds
Usual handbike sport sledges have problems in the curves even on wet roads. In order to be able to make speed on ice not only on the straights, a Dutchman further developed his special construction for this special vehicle. With standard gas sprin...
