The innovative TUBUS profile dampers are a very cost-effective alternative for emergency stop applications.
They are produced from a special Co-Polyester Elastomer.
The excellent damping characteristics are achieved through the material and the worldwide patented construction design.
They constantly decrease energies in areas in which other materials would fail. The excellent damping characteristics are achieved through the material and the worldwide patented construction design.
The profile dampers are versatile and are designed to absorb the rising energy with a degressive (TA-series), almost linear (TS-series) or progressive (TR-series) characteristic.
The TUBUS-series comprises five main types with almost 80 individual models.
Function
For these damping elements, made out of a special Co-Polyester Elastomer, a change of structure during the production process creates a defined initial load, which ensures that the TUBUS during operation converts the friction force into heat.
Thus, a part of the rising energy is absorbed, while the other part is emitted by the resetting of the body to its original position.
The unique structure of the body leads to different characteristics.
TA-series: Degressive characteristic with max. energy absorption with minimum stroke.
Energy absorption: 40 % to 66 %
TS-series: Almost linear characteristic with low reaction force over a short operating stroke.
Energy absorption: 26 % to 56 %.
TR/TR-L/TR-H-series: Progressive characteristic with gradually increasing reaction force over a long stroke.
Energy absorption TR: 17 % to 35 %
Energy absorption TR-L: 14 % to 26 %
Energy absoption TR-H: 39 % to 50 %
