C USHIONS Cushions are designed to provide smooth deceleration, external energy absorption and noise reduction, over the last 15º of rotation. Cushions trap air at the end of stroke by blocking or restricting the discharge port. The trapped air is diverted through a small needle valve which generates a back pressure on the discharge side of the piston. This back pressure resists the forces exerted on the internal parts of the rotary actuator, thus causing a slowing of the external mass. Stroke adjustors are screw-type adjustable stops at end of rotation. They should be used when the exact final...
