Standard Shock Absorbers

Standard Shock Absorbers
Gold Line Series (SALD, ALD)
Gold Line adjustable shock absorbers are recommended for most deceleration applications, especially where it is desirable to use
the same model on a number of different installations. They perform well under a very wide window of conditions. For example,
the weight range of these units is approximately 250:1, meaning maximum weight capacity can be as much as 250 times greater
than minimum weight capacity. The adjustable fine-tuning feature provides maximum performance on virtually any application with a
velocity ranging from 1-15 fps. By keeping impact forces to a minimum, they provide the softest stop, especially when critical and precise
work-positioning is required.

All mounting options for the Enertrols Gold
Line and SILVERLINE Primary-Mount
Series are shown here. From left to right
they are: Front Flange, Clevis, Basic
Primary unit, Lug (Foot Mount) and
Rear Flange.
PRIMARY MOUNTING TYPE 1 /2", 3 /4" & 1 1 /8" BORE SIZES
This larger series also features versatility of mounting through use of optional
accessories that are threaded on either end of the shock absorber body
and securely locked against a machined shoulder. Primary series
units are heavily used in environments that require a number of
different style mountings of the same basic bore size and stroke
length shock absorbers. See pages 34 & 35 for complete
dimensional data, Capacity Ratings and “How to Order” information.
FIXED FLANGE MOUNTING TYPE 3 /4" THROUGH 3" BORE SIZES
Conventional Fixed Flange Enertrols shock absorbers have permanently
attached front or rear flanges plus lug and clevis mount options. They
are ideally suited for use by cost-conscious OEM’s using the same
basic shock absorber in large volume. Positive set-down
positioning when changing units is a major feature of
this type. For complete dimensional data, Energy
Capacity Ratings and “How to Order” information
see pages 40, 41 & 43.
HEAVY-DUTY 4" BORE ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBERS
These high-capacity Enertrols models combine the features of both the
Primary and Fixed-Flange Series to offer an extremely versatile unit. It
offers all standard mounting styles through the use of flanges that bolt
onto the ends of the body. Lug mounting bars are shown installed. With
6", 8" and 16" strokes, this model can handle energies up to 1,600,000
in.-lbs/cycle.These units are ideal for foundry, steel mill and similar
heavy-duty applications. See page 42 for dimensional data, page 43
