Shock absorbers
are designed to absorb shocks and applications. They are used not only in
automotive industries but are also used in various other manufacturing and
processing industries. Some of the other applications of the shock absorbers
can be summarized as follows:
Automotive robotics
OEM shock absorbers are used for controlling high drive forces for precise
robot positioning and improved assembled product quality.
Foundry –conveyor line
The shock absorber reduces the velocity of the metal flasks traveling on a
conveyor line thereby eliminating the risk of damaging the flask.
Rolling Door
The shock absorbers used in automatic rolling doors protect precision
mechanical components and prolong door life.
Glass forming equipment
Adjustable shock absorbers can be used for cushioning the high velocity
motion of the take out-out, take out-in, and blow head positions of a glass
forming machine.
Air cylinder
Cylinder cushion often becomes ineffective because operating velocity of
the cylinder is high. However the use of shock absorber not only
accommodates high impact forces but also results in noise free operations
and increase production rates.
Printing
The shock absorber used in the printing machines, assists in paper
positioning and prevents the equipment from damage during printing press
test runs.
Paper rolls
Shock absorbers reduces the rate of transfer of large paper rolls moving
through production on inclined planes. This minimizes machinery damage and
paper wastes and increases the productivity.
Automotive – transfer line
In automated assembly plants usually large shock absorbers are used for
decelerating and protecting shuttle/ transfer line systems.
Packaging machinery
The shock absorber in packaging industry controls rapid movement of a table
transportation of loaded packages to an automated case packer sealing
station.
Woodworking equipment
The shock absorbers are often used in wood cutting machines for uniform and
proper wood cutting and for reducing the vibrations during operations.
Overhead cranes
Trolley movement of the crane is decelerated quickly by the shock absorber
thereby serving as safety stops when mounted at each end of an overhead
crane bridge.
Transport equipment
Shock absorber when installed at the end of the cable and other transport
systems. Eliminates the Jarring of passengers.
