FLUID DAMPERS

Open the catalog to page 12

INDIVIDUAL DAMPERS FLUID DAMPERS PRINCIPLE OF FUNCTION ► In a closed housing a piston is moving back- and forward. A food-safe silicon-oil can flow in both directions through small channels. The viscosity of the oil, as well as the modification of the cross-section of the channels, leads to the friction needed to reduce the speed. The friction-heat will be channeled outside through the cylinder-wall. Return spring ► Highest energy-consumption on smallest cross section ► Different damping-characteristics possible DAMPER WITH AND WHITOUT RESET-FUNCTION Damper without reset-function needs a coupler...
