Technical Innovations
The document highlights the unique spiral groove technology in PowerStop shock absorbers, which distinguishes them from conventional options.

Specifications and Features

PowerStop shock absorbers utilize a constantly tapering spiral groove for precise, low-vibration shock absorption, achieving maximum energy absorption in minimal space.
Key benefits include high energy absorption, low vibration, reduced wear, operational safety, corrosion protection, and customizable configurations.
The spiral groove allows for unique damping characteristics, enabling progressive, linear-constant, or diminishing force curves.

Functionality

Shock absorbers convert kinetic energy into heat through hydraulic damping, with the force curve influenced by impact velocity and throttle characteristics.
The Adjustable Energy series includes an integrated bypass for adaptable energy absorption and impact velocity adjustment.

Design and Mechanism

The spiral groove technology ensures jerk-free damping and reduced wear through hydrostatic piston movement, maintaining an anti-friction film between moving parts.
Conventional shock absorbers use throttle bores, leading to inconsistent damping and potential machine damage due to vibrations.

Modular System and Variants

The PowerStop series offers modular configurations with options for stroke variants, speed ranges, and protective features.
Long stroke versions provide softer damping by extending the damping stroke, reducing counterforce.

Protection and Accessories

Various protective options are available, including wipers, felt rings, and bellows, to suit different environmental conditions.
Accessories such as stop sleeves, sensor stop sleeves, side load adapters, and clamping flanges enhance functionality and adaptability.

Conclusion
PowerStop industrial shock absorbers offer advanced damping solutions with customizable features, ensuring high performance and reliability in various industrial applications.

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Use and advantages of shock absorbers Machines carry out increasingly complex tasks today. The systems are also pushed to their limits in order to increase productivity and profitability. For the machinery this means that, in addition to the number of moving parts, their velocities and thus their kinetic energy also increase. However, in order to avoid collisions, high impact forces and strong vibrations, which could lead to damage and consequently to the reduction of the service life, the surplus energy must be removed from the system. The solution lies in the use of...
