Tubus dampers are just one of the safety options for sub-zero working environments with heavy moving parts.

Choosing the right safety fittings for spaces that spend much of their time below freezing can be difficult, as some materials perform differently when they are extremely cold.

With tubus dampers, though, you can rest assured that temperatures as low as -40C are still within the rated range for safe operation.

What’s more, these dampers use friction – and heat – to help dissipate the energy of an impact, making colder surroundings ideal.

Depending on what goods you work with, you can choose from three different damping profiles within our range of tubus dampers.

The TA series has the highest total energy absorption, at up to 66%, and absorbs that energy as quickly as possible over a short stroke distance.

In the TS series, absorption maxes out at around 56% over a short operating stroke.

With fairly low reaction force, these particular tubus dampers are suitable for more delicate goods that would be prone to damage if exposed to a large stopping force.

Finally, the TR range is something of a compromise, with a longer operating stroke.

This allows it to gradually increase the resisting force, bringing loads of all kinds to a halt with no more impact than is necessary to stop them.
