Structural damper TUBUS axial damping, high force absorption

Axial Damping
Energy capacity 2 Nm/Cycle to 2,951 Nm/Cycle
Maximum stroke 5 mm bis 48 mm
Very efficient energy guzzlers: The TA profile dampers from the ACE TUBUS-Series are maintenance-free and ready to install. They consist of co-polyester elastomer; a material that only heats up slightly and ensures consistent damping. The TA models absorb a lot of energy at the start of the stroke.
The TA family has been specially developed for maximum energy absorption within a range of 2 Nm to 2,951 Nm. The minimum height is thanks to the space-saving shape with Ø 12 mm to Ø 116 mm. The dampers can be very easily and quickly fixed with the provided special screw.
These compact, cost-effective machine elements are ideal as end position dampers in linear axes, in toolmaking and tool machines, in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, handling equipment and other applications.

Type TA37-16 Energy-Stroke Characteristic (dynamic) (with impact velocity over 0.5 m/s)		Type TA37-16 Force-Stroke Characteristic (dynamic) (with impact velocity over 0.5 m/s)

With the aid of the characteristic curves above you can estimate the proportion of the total energy that will be absorbed.
Example: With impact energy of 50 Nm the Energy-Stroke diagram shows that a stroke of about 8.8 mm is needed.
On the Force-Stroke diagram you can estimate the proportion of absorbed energy to rebound energy at this stroke length.
Dynamic (v > 0.5 m/s) and static (v ≤ 0.5 m/s) characteristics of all types are available on request.

The calculation and selection of the most suitable damper should be carried out or be approved by ACE.
