When selecting an industrial shock absorber, more and more, busy design and production engineers want to have product data at the touch of a mouse!

As much as the Ace team are eager to help with your application problems and industrial shock absorber product selection options, we appreciate the value of an engineer’s time and have therefore made selecting the right Ace industrial shock absorber as simple as possible.

By using the two links below, engineers can input their application data to produce an industrial shock absorber product selection and then download CAD files with the additional option of showing any accessories selected.

 So, doing it yourself is easy, but we’re still here to help if you want.

Industrial shock absorbers manufacturer, Ace Controls International is now supplying its range of industrial shock absorbers with a standard corrosion protection that is 30% better than platinum, armoloy or nickel plate; 67% better than hard chrome and 150% better than black oxide.

Edward Abbott, Ace UK’s general manager says: “Independent laboratory salt-spray tests confirm that our new Weartec Plus coating offers superior corrosion protection to the common industry coatings used today and as part of continuous policy of product improvement, this will become standard on our M12 to M64 body diameter shock absorbers at no additional cost to our customers.”

Weartec Plus provides ideal protection on shock absorbers used in the wash down areas in the food and packaging industries as well as in harsh outdoor environments.

For applications where corrosion resistance and hygiene are paramount, Ace Controls International can now offer a wide range of stainless steel industrial shock absorbers.

Manufactured in V4A stainless steel and using a special oil that fulfils the NSF-H1 requirements of the food industry, the new shock absorbers are ideal for use in the medical, pharmaceutical, food, offshore and marine industries.

The two new stainless steel industrial shock absorbers, developed from existing proven performers in Ace’s shock absorber family, are the MC150-MC600 V4A Series and the Magnum V4A Series.

Both ranges offer high energy absorption in compact packages (MC Series – 86.6mm to 141.9mm and Magnum – 151.7mm to 344mm.), self-compensation, an integrated mechanical stop and a wide range of effective weights – from 0.9kg to 42500kg.

The January 2010 issue of Design Solutions magazine contains an interesting article by industrial shock absorbers manufacturer,  Ace Controls’ applications engineer, Neil Croston explaining the different types of industrial shock absorbers, the technology used and their areas of application.
