Small Shock Absorbers with Greater Potential

September 10, 2012 9:22 am

Cooling lubricants, cutting fluids or cleaning agents can have damaging effects on the working life of a shock absorber. These types of fluids attack the seals of the shock absorber and cause rapid failure of the damping elements. Preventing this is the task of the new PF25 special protective shroud from the ACE Controls
While in the normal case, shock absorbers from ACE can reliably slow down moving masses even in the case of the smallest machine loads, it can occur for example when used in machining centres, that the seals of the damping elements are damaged if these are used in close proximity to the above-designated fluids. Now, with the PF25 special protective shroud, ACE presents miniature shock absorbers with the PF shroud as the first completely protected machine element for machine tools and other similar applications. This attachment is designed for areas where the small shock absorbers of the MC600 Series are used in difficult environmental conditions. The PF25 innovation provides protection in such cases due to the high level of non-reactivity of its material, familiar in many markets as Teflon. Whether used as a windproof and weather-resistant coating, or in the kitchen or of course also in industrial applications, the products coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) provide great advantages compared to uncoated products. Now the material also finds advantages in shock absorber technology.
