“Bad vibrations“ eliminated with VibroChecker
For pristine sound, a manufacturer of hi-fi amplifiers relies on air springs from ACE. This effectively eliminates disruptive ambient vibrations that enter the demonstration room from a neighbouring workshop and disturb the listening experience. The PLM-1 air springs, which have a low natural frequency of 3 Hz, are used as a bearing in the hi-fi rack for decoupling. ACE was able to prove the effectiveness measurably with the company's own app VibroChecker PRO. In the meantime, the manufacturer offers the high-end amplifiers optionally with the air springs and the app from ACE to the end customers.
Profile Dampers - TUBUS TR
Running board damping for electric scooters
TUBUS 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 and compact sliders: sheet metal working up to 1 million strokes
For the forming, folding, punching and cutting of steel sheets, voestalpine Camtec GmbH wanted to realise new compact slides that achieve service lives beyond 1 million strokes. The company was looking for compact dampers that could absorb the greatest possible forces when integrated into the tool as an end stop. After a consultation and sampling process, the choice fell on ACE TUBUS profile dampers.
Profile Dampers - TUBUS TR-H
Profile dampers make excellent electric scooters even better
For 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 robots
Serving 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 shelters
The 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.

Motion control weatherproof furniture
As a specialist in disposal containers for public spaces, ROBI AG from Switzerland offers cities and municipalities high-quality park benches. These remain dry when not in use because the seats fold up automatically. For this solution called “BANKOMAT“, they turned to the ACE gas spring team after internet research. After the design via software on the homepage of ACE and practical tests on site, the industrial gas springs of the type GS-19-250 with an extension force of 100 Newton, which can be filled customer-specifically via valve, proved to be ideal for the speed regulation and optimally suitable for the high-quality construction.

Slide Bar with soft gliding and damping sliding mechanism
Carpenter Dominik Huber has created a “Slide Bar“ as a masterpiece. This is also characterised by the cube that slides upwards and to the side and serves as a bar. To make this function as smooth and safe as possible, he relies on an industrial gas spring from ACE. With a diameter of 28 mm and a stroke of 650 mm, it supports the muscle power of the operator in interaction with a heavy-duty rail, which is also concealed, and contributes to the high-quality impression by gliding smoothly and effortlessly. Dominik Huber and his masterpiece received additional valuable support from the customised service provided by ACE in Austria.
