Rotary motion control models are available with damping in both directions of rotation. Alternatively, certain model sizes are available with the option of uni-directional damping, i.e. damping action only in a clockwise or counter­clockwise rotation and free travel in the opposite rotation. This is achieved by means of an internal one way clutch on the output shaft.

If your application calls for locking in both directions of motion, the versatile ACE Controls bi-directional locking series of rotary dampers can be added to enhance the functionality of your new product design.

Models may vary. See individual specifications or consult factory.
