Operating Principle
The HLS series shock absorbers operate with two chambers filled with hydraulic oil and nitrogen. The piston rod acts as a gas accumulator. Upon impact, the piston rod is pushed into the cylinder, displacing the oil through throttle orifices into the pressure tube, moving the separator piston towards the steel cap and compressing the nitrogen. When the mass is released, the nitrogen pressure returns the piston rod to its original position.

Overview of WES-F Series Elasto-Fluid Springs
The WES-F series elasto-fluid springs are designed to utilize the compressibility of pre-tensioned elastomers. These springs are adaptable to customer needs based on standard models. When an axial force is applied, the piston rod penetrates the elastomer, increasing pressure. Upon force reduction, the elastomer relaxes, returning the piston to its initial position. This technology is commonly used in cold and hot rolling mills to support upper rollers with 2 or 4 springs, allowing hydraulic leveling and maintaining roller position.
Functional Principle
The elasto-fluid springs function by compressing the elastomer with an axial force, which increases pressure. When the force is reduced, the elastomer relaxes, returning the piston to its original position. This principle is applied in various industrial settings, including roller bending and as pistons.

Grundlagen · Fundamentals Informations de base · Informazioni di base · Fundamentos D Hochautomatisierte Maschinen mit kürzestmöglichen Zykluszeiten stellen immer höhere Anforderungen an die moderne Dämpfungstechnik. Die Verwendung von Federn (1), Gummipuffern (1) und Luftdämpfern (2) gewährleistet keinen ausreichenden Schutz, weil sie Bewegungsenergien nur speichern und kaum eine Regulierung zulassen. Highly automated machines with the shortest possible cycle times are placing increasingly high demands on modern shock absorber technology. The use of springs (1), rubber buffers (1) and air dampers...

Stoßdämpfer · Shock Absorbers Amortisseurs · Deceleratori · Amortiguadores D Industriestoßdämpfer sind in sich geschlossene, nach dem Verdrängungsprinzip arbeitende Bauelemente. Wird die Kolbenstange durch äußere Krafteinwirkung eingedrückt, verdrängt der Kolben das Öl durch die vorhandenen Drosselbohrungen , die sich proportional zum gefahrenen Hub verringern. Als Folge wird die Einfahrgeschwindigkeit zwangsläufig geringer. Das durch die Kolbenstange verdrängte Öl wird durch einen Speicher kompensiert. Shock absorbers are closed hydraulic components which operate on the basis of oil displacement....
