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.
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 inch
Technical Notes
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

Protection systems for motor-driven cooker hoods
For ergonomic handling, modern cooker hoods can be driven by a motor into an up position and then down again. When driven downwards, an AC load can result in a total loss through current being fed back into the voltage source. One of the tasks of ...
