Standard Shock Absorbers - JHBennett.com

Accessories & Special Application Shock AbsorbersSOFT PADSEnertrols Soft Pads (shown installed on a 3 /4"-bore Gold Line Primary Mount shock absorber)are available in five sizes to fit securely over the piston rod button of all 3 /8", 1 /2", 3 /4", 1 1 /8"and 1 1 /2" bore-size models. They are made of tough, long-wearing polyurethane toreduce noise and/or marring of the object impacting on the steel button.STANDARD AIR-OVER-OIL TANKSEnertrols Air-over-Oil Tanks (AOT) are available in the four stock sizes shown foruse with all ALD and ALDS models, 1 /2" through 4"-bore sizes. The three largesttanks are made of high-strength steel, use no soft seals and have easy-to-readsight gauges. See page 47 for detailed dimensions.2 1 /2" BORE TOW BAR SNUBBERSENERTROLS Tow Bar Snubber is a 2 1 /2" bore, non-adjustablepneumatic shock absorber specially adapted for use on highspeedmaterial handling systems. The higher speeds beingused on today’s power and free handling systems greatly increasethe potential for both product and/or system damage due to the rapidacceleration/deceleration speeds generated.The Tow Bar Snubber is designed to absorb and smooth rapid acceleration/deceleration whenstarting and stopping. This prevents stretching and compressing load conditions to reduce maintenanceand increase “up-time” of the material handling system. The unit will handle conveyor speedsup to 80 feet/minute with loads up to 6,000 Ibs, maximum. Tensile load limit is 40,000 pounds.ENERTROLS Tow Bar Snubbers are available in 4" and 6" stroke lengths. They feature hightemperatureseals, extra-long rod bearings and strong chrome-plated piston rods.These units are easily repaired in the field.Reverse SnubberAir/HydraulicThe Enertrols Reverse Snubber (Pat. Pend.) is installed with theclevis end of the piston rod fastened to a fixed point. Theopposite end of the body is clevised to the moving load andmoves with the load as the piston strokes. This eliminates pistonrod boots and covers to prevent contamination damage to the rod.SPECIAL-PURPOSE NON-ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBERSEnertrols builds non-adjustable shock absorbers such as this unit for use in a state-of-the-artamusement ride. They feature a self-compensating load capacity, using an inner metering tubeselected for the application. The shock absorbers must safely decelerate the ride, and itspassengers, under constantly changing loads and velocities since the number ofriders may vary widely. Many industrial applications, involving the sameconditions, make use of this custom-orificed, special Enertrols design.14
