Industrial Shock Absorbers
Industrial shocks are a superior alternative to springs and rubber bumpers
for energy absorption and linear deceleration. As a load impacts the shock's
piston rod, the plunger forces hydraulic fluid through strategically-placed
orifices, converting kinetic energy into heat. The heat dissipates into the
environment, thus eliminating the "bounce-back" seen when using a spring
or rubber bumper. The steady, gradual deceleration allows faster cycle rates,
increased life of equipment, and reduced maintenance expense resulting in
a boost to production's bottom line.
Efdyn shock absorbers are used in many applications and fields. From the Minibuffer line to Heavy Duty models, Efdyn products are synonymous with quality and reliability. It is not uncommon to find large-bore shocks in the field that have operated without failure for over 20 years.
Efdyn energy absorbers range from miniature shocks used on pick and place machines to massive 8" bore, heavy duty models, capable of over 13,000,000 in-lbs per cycle. As a leader in deceleration devices, Efdyn produces the most rugged, durable shock absorbers on the market coupled with unmatched deliveries.
Offered in adjustable, self compensating, and custom orificed models, with a wide variety of mounting configurations and piston rod return methods, Efdyn's shock absorbers cover all your unique deceleration needs. For more corrosive environments, Efdyn provides stainless steel and epoxy coated options.
Efdyn's excels in fast deliveries. Efdyn will get you the shock you need WHEN you need it. Many shocks are stock items, and our larger bore models (including most custom units) have a standard lead time of 4 weeks. Not fast enough?
