Dampers and shock absorbers are integral parts of almost every automation application. From simple damping of sliding doors on CNC mills, to end stops on linear slides, to dampers on conveyor pallets preventing impacts, to PET blow molding machines, selecting the right damper for your application can be of the most important choices when designing a machine.
Proper sizing of a damper that can handle the demands of your application can be the difference between a smoothly operating, long lasting machine and a machine that breaks down due to harsh impacts, vibrations, and crashes.
