Hinge relief through gently braked, swivelling machine keyboards
ACE rotary dampers protect the keyboard. To provide long term protection in arduous and often dirty industrial applications (and also to protect against unauthorised access) the machine keyboard is installed in a lockable and pivoted housing cabinet. ACE rotary dampers model FRN-F1 were installed on the pivot axis to provide a smooth controlled motion to the keyboard as it is pulled down into its operating position. The damper also prevents overloading the hinge system and prevents damage to the keyboard, the housing cabinet and the hinges.

Securing linear drive units mechanicallyGSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, operates a unique accelerator for heavy ions. Currently, the international accelerator facility FAIR, one of the largest research projects worldwide, is being built there, aiming to produce and research matter in the laboratory that otherwise only occurs in the universe. For the collector ring, which is used to store and cool the ions, the GSI engineers were looking for mechanical rather than electronic components that protect the drive units which are equipped with powerful linear motors. They found what they were looking for when they got in touch with us.
