Self-compensating Energy capacity per stroke 21,000 to 1,120,000 in-lbs/cycle Stroke 2 to 16 inch
Powerful: The weight of these high capacity absorbers are between 12.8 and 146 kg (28.2 lbs and 322 lbs). They complement ACE's product range of self-compensating shock absorbers. All models from this product family are designed for applications where robustness and large energy absorption are important.
ACE uses our proprietary custom calculation program to design each shock absorber for the specific customer application. Customization helps reduce the risk of crashes and incorrect product sizing. The CA models can absorb up to 126,500 Nm (1,119,620 in-lbs) of energy and can be used in the area of effective weights between 700 kg and 326,000 kg (1,543 lbs and 718,707 lbs). The combination of being extremely solid, absorbing high levels of energy and having a large damping range makes them invaluable. Self-compensating shock absorbers react to changing energy conditions, without adjustment.
These heavy duty self-compensating industrial shock absorbers are primarily used in heavy industrial engineering e.g. on lift bridges and steel structures or for damping sluice systems.

Technical Notes
Note
For emergency use only applications and for continous use it is possible to exceed the published max. capacity ratings. In this case, please consult ACE.
Safety instruction
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. Do not paint the shock absorbers due to heat emission.
On request
Special oils, nickel-plated, increased corrosion protection or other special options are available on request.
