Shock Absorber for Extreme Temperatures

August 30, 2023

The MC64M-LT industrial shock absorber from ACE Controls Inc. is designed for use in extreme temperatures.

Special seals and fluids enable the self-compensating shock absorber to withstand temperatures ranging from -58 to 150 F. (Self-compensating shock absorbers react to changing energy conditions without adjustment.) It has an energy capacity of 16,550 inch-pounds and can cycle to 50,000 inch-pounds per cycle. Stroke length ranges from 1.91 to 5.91 inches.

Like all of ACE Controls Magnum shock absorbers, the MC64M-LT is made from one solid piece, so it can safely and reliably damp masses and absorb 100 percent of the kinetic energy.

These ready-to-install machine elements are recommended for even the most unfavorable conditions. Additional benefits are their robust sealing technology; high energy absorption in a compact design; fixed positive stop; and a wide damping range. 

The MC64M-LT is one of many energy-absorbing products manufactured by ACE Controls. The company offers shock absorbers for every industrial purpose. More than 200 models are available. The smallest has a stroke of just 4 millimeters. The largest has a stroke of 406 millimeters. ACE products can decelerate effective weights of 500 grams to 204 tons.

For more information on shock absorbers, gas springs, hydraulic dampers, metal-rubber machine  mounts and other motion control components, click www.acecontrols.com or visit the company’s booth at The ASSEMBLY Show. ATI is one of many robotics suppliers that will be exhibiting at the show, which will take place Oct. 24-26 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Besides suppliers of test systems, you’ll find 225 suppliers of automation, motion control technology, parts feeders, fastening tools, software and other assembly technologies.
