Installation Recommendations and TipsMounting Structure Considerations<strong>Enertrols</strong> <strong>shock</strong> absorbers should be rigidly bolted to a non-flexing mounting structure. Refer to <strong>the</strong> "MountingStrength Required" column in <strong>the</strong> Energy Capacity table for <strong>the</strong> model you have selected.Avoid side loads of more than 5º (3º for miniature models) and align <strong>the</strong> centerline of <strong>the</strong> piston as closely aspossible to <strong>the</strong> impacting object's center of gravity. When using more than one <strong>shock</strong> absorber for a direction,be sure to balance <strong>the</strong> load as equally as possible between <strong>the</strong> <strong>shock</strong> absorbers.Rotary Installation RequirementsThe <strong>shock</strong> absorber should be mounted so that it is perpendicular to <strong>the</strong> pivot at mid stroke. This allows <strong>the</strong>maximum 5 degrees on <strong>the</strong> first 1/2 stroke and <strong>the</strong> maximum 5 degrees for <strong>the</strong> second 1/2. Miniature <strong>shock</strong>absorbers only are limited to plus or minus 3 degrees. Poly pads should not be used with rotary applications.Rs (Radius to Shock Absorber)Plus 5 degrees Maximum at ImpactPerpendicularat Mid-StrokeMinus 5 degrees Maximum at Set-DownaaStrokeFormulaS < *No. = aRsExternal Stop Recommendations+/- MaximumMounting Angle.0175 = 1/2º.0349 = 1º.0524 = 1-1/2º.0699 = 2º.0875 = 2-1/2º+/- MaximumMounting Angle.1051 = 3º.1228 = 3-1/2º.1405 = 4º.1584 = 4-1/2º.1763 = 5º*Miniature models; 3 degrees maximum, all o<strong>the</strong>rs 5 degrees maximumGeneral rule of thumb for minimum <strong>shock</strong> mount radius is a 6:1 ratio (Rs to S). For example with1 inch (25mm) of <strong>shock</strong> absorber stroke, <strong>the</strong> minimum “Rs” mount radius is 6 inches (150mm).Every type of automation equipment requires some form of external stop for two reasons; (1) to provide a firmwork positioning point and (2) to prevent <strong>the</strong> <strong>shock</strong> absorber from bottoming out. All <strong>shock</strong> absorber manufacturersrecommend to use an external stop to prevent damage to <strong>the</strong>ir product. <strong>Enertrols</strong> recommends <strong>shock</strong>absorber installations to use full stroke minus .06" or 1.6mm from <strong>the</strong> bottom of stroke.<strong>Enertrols</strong> "Positive Stop Systems" are easy to use and <strong>the</strong> most economical answer in new applications. ThePositive Stop Options provide a substantial, hardened steel work position stop (.06" or 1.6mm from bottom ofstroke) as well as <strong>shock</strong> absorber mounting arrangements. They are available for Gold Line ® , SILVERLINE ® ,Mid-Size, HPM, in Primary and Fixed Flange models.General InformationHow Short Stroking Affects a Shock Absorbers Performance<strong>Enertrols</strong> recommends choosing a <strong>shock</strong> absorber with <strong>the</strong> proper stroke and using <strong>the</strong> full stroke for deceleration.Short stroking a <strong>shock</strong> absorber produces undesirable, results, that may permanently damage <strong>the</strong> <strong>shock</strong> absorberas well as <strong>the</strong> equipment it is mounted on.Short stroking changes <strong>the</strong> intended function of a <strong>shock</strong> absorber so that it cannot be adjusted easily or properly.There will be a hard impact at <strong>the</strong> beginning of stroke. Velocity will not be dissipated sufficiently through stroke,allowing for a hard impact set down. The last problem incurred is overheating and or damage from excessiveinternal pressures produced by <strong>the</strong> energy and not using all <strong>the</strong> internal orifices as designed.23435 Industrial Park Dr., Farmington Hills, MI 48335 • p: 734-595-4500f: 734-595-6410 • customerservice@enertrols.com • www.enertrols.com26
