Optimised steering behaviour and increased performance for off-road toboggans
In this innovative tobogganing vehicle called Pistenbock-Cross rotation dampers from ACE come into action. These help to effectively damen unexpected steering turns and smooth the overall process to improve driving comfort and safety. Two FDT rotary dampers are mounted counter-rotating with the use of spacers underneath the steering stool. A square square engages in the rotary dampers, thus enabling the steering behavior to be optimized. The design prevents sudden tearing of the steering in the event of a collision with larger obstacles and offers the driver greater safety on impassable stretches of road.
Matching Applications
Profile Dampers - TUBUS TR
Running board damping for electric scootersTUBUS profile dampers make driving an e-scooter a real experience. The footboard of an electric scooter should be dampened to enable the driver to experience a comfortable ride even over potholes and other bumpy surfaces. Ideally, the characteristic line should be furnished with a soft increase in force over a long stroke. The elegant look of the scooter as well as the folding mechanism designed to save space have not allowed the use of feasible damper solutions up to now. Inferior alternatives such as rubber dampers made of polyurethane or simple steel springs could not be considered from the start. The TUBUS profile damper TR52-32H offered the perfect solution with its compact construction design paired with progressive damping action.
Profile Dampers - TUBUS TR-H
Profile dampers make excellent electric scooters even betterFor the second generation of their unique, because foldable and three-wheeled e-scooter, the engineers of scuddy GmbH & Co. KG aimed for even more individual damping than the previous model. This electric scooter already uses our TUBUS profile dampers and SLAB cut-to-size shock absorption plates. After consultations with us and successful sampling, scuddy now uses TUBUS of the basic types TR64-41H-OS, TR68-37H-OS or TR79-42H-OS in the new e-scooter Premium V2, depending on the weight class of the owners.
Industrial Shock Absorbers - MC33 to MC64
Carriage constructions for sport robotsServing a similar purpose, several ACE dampers are installed in Jada, the triple-axis, free-moving badminton robot. In order for the badminton robot to be capable of playing, it must be able to change direction in the shortest time possible. Jada is designed therefore to brake at a maximum of 30 m/s². For this task, linear modules are limited by the use of the industrial shock absorbers MC4575. Miniature shock absorbers and profile dampers are also installed at the location of the ““racket hand““. In all cases, the modern ACE machine elements serve to protect the end positions of the construction.
Industrial Gas Springs – Push Type - GS-8 to GS-70
Movement support for collapsible Team sheltersThe Weatherscape™ Team Shelter, created by Sportsfield, is designed to have a collapsible roof that can be lowered to the ground when not in use. The unique parameters of this design made it difficult to determine the needed spring force and ideal placement for the mounting of the gas spring. Sportsfield wanted the roof panel to be able to be lifted and lowered by a single user, the panel weighed well over 90 kg and was over 6.1 meter long.<br/>ACE in-house prototyping and calculation tools helped them zero in on the perfect gas spring for this application. In the end, ACE was able to provide the winning combination of quality product and a strong platform of services and support.
Hydraulic Dampers - HB-12 to HB-70
Steering stabilisation for cargo bikes and E-TrikesThe delivery of goods has become very popular with supermarkets. This has increased the demand for bicycles to avoid congestion and contribute to environmental protection. For this type of transport and fast deliveries, a customized small series of cargo bikes in underfloor construction was designed and equipped with electric drive and hydraulic dampers. The dampers supplied by ACE are variably adjustable in compression or traction force from 30 N up to 3,000 N. They soothe the chassis of the E-Trikes, serve for safety and increase driving comfort.
Industrial Gas Springs – Push Type - GS-8 to GS-70
Gas springs support lifting forces of stand-up wheelchairsThe developers of the PR Biolution stand-up wheelchair from PARAVAN avoid even the smallest jerky movements for the benefit of rehab patients. Therefore, they designed the aid, which was developed according to the strict guidelines of medical technology, with machine elements for maximum stability and safety. This was achieved, among other things, by integrating industrial gas pressure springs from ACE, which perfectly regulate the running and acceleration forces of the electric motor.
Rotary Dampers - FRT-G2
Damping system for moving parts in playing card shufflersACE rotary dampers ensure the quiet shuffling of playing cards. Software controlled playing card shuffling machines such as this one are used throughout the world and are equipped with rotary dampers from the FRT-G2 product family .Maintenance-free and ready for installation, they ensure a low-noise stop of a plastic wedge located in the device and moving upwards before inserting the card set. The dampers can be applied to suit your requirements; clockwise, anticlockwise or in both directions; and they are just as reliable as the open and close slides in high qualitiy DVD or CD players.
