Miniature shock
absorber is a small size shock absorber having low return force. It is a
self-contained hydraulic units which is utilized for high energy absorption
in confined spaces. The shock absorber can accommodate variety of load
conditions with its effective weight ranges. The outer bodies in many
miniature shock absorbers are threaded and they contains different types of
accessories due to which they can be mounted in numerous configurations.
Filled with a temperature stable oil, the miniature shock absorber has an
integrated positive stop.
Applications
Miniature shock absorber is used in various types of applications which are
as follows:
- Small robotics
- Material handling
- Packaging equipment
- Small linear slides
- Office and medical equipment
- Instrumentation
- Automation equipment
- Rotary actuators
