<strong>Shock</strong> Absorber FunctionVirtually all manufacturing processes involve movement of some kind.In production machinery this can involve linear transfers, rotary indexmotions, fast feeds etc. At some point these motions change directionor come to a stop.Any moving object possesses kinetic energy as a result of its motion andif the object changes direction or is brought to rest, the dissipation of thiskinetic energy can result in destructive shock forces within the structuraland operating parts of the machine.9Kinetic energy increases as the square of the speed and the heavier theobject, or the faster it travels, the more energy it has. An increase in productionrates is only possible by dissipating this kinetic energy smoothlyand thereby eliminating destructive deceleration forces.Older methods of energy absorption such as rubber buffers, springs,hydraulic dashpots and cylinder cushions do not provide this requiredsmooth deceleration characteristic – they are non linear and producehigh peak forces at some point during their stroke.The optimum solution is achieved by an ACE industrial shock absorber.This utilises a series of metering orifices spaced throughout its strokelength and provides a constant linear deceleration with the lowestpossible reaction force in the shortest stopping time.ACE Controlled Linear DecelerationACE demo showing a wine glass droppingfree fall 1.3 m.

Comparison of Damping Systems10Stopping Force (N)ComparisonHydraulicDashpotPneumaticCylinderCushionsSprings - orRubber Buffers1. Hydraulic Dashpot (High stopping force at start of the stroke).With only one metering orifice the moving load is abruptly slowed downat the start of the stroke. The braking force rises to a very high peak at thestart of the stroke (giving high shock loads) and then falls away rapidly.2. Springs and Rubber Buffers (High stopping forces at end of stroke).At full compression. Also they store energy rather than dissipating it,causing the load to rebound back again.ACE Industrial <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong>3. Air Buffers, Pneumatic Cylinder Cushions (High stopping force at end ofstroke). Due to the compressibility of air these have a sharply rising forcecharacteristic towards the end of the stroke. The majority of the energy isabsorbed near the end of the stroke.Stopping Stroke4. ACE Industrial <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong> (Uniform stopping force through theentire stroke). The moving load is smoothly and gently brought to restby a constant resisting force throughout the entire shock absorber stroke.The load is decelerated with the lowest possible force in the shortestpossible time eliminating damaging force peaks and shock damageto machines and equipment. This is a linear deceleration force strokecurve and is the curve provided by ACE industrial shock absorbers.In addition they considerably reduce noise pollution.Energy Capacity Reaction Force (Stopping Force) Stopping TimeACE <strong>Shock</strong> AbsorberHydraulicDashpotACE <strong>Shock</strong> AbsorberForce(N)Force(N)Qv(m/s)tHydraulicDashpotACE <strong>Shock</strong> AbsorbertHydraulicDashpotQStopping Stroke Stopping Stroke Stopping TimeAssumption:Same maximum reaction force.Result:The ACE shock absorber canabsorb considerably more energy(represented by the area underthe curve).Benefit:By installing an ACE shockabsorber production rates canbe more than doubled withoutincreasing deceleration forces orreaction forces on the machine.Assumption:Same energy absorption(area under the curve).Result:The reaction force transmittedby the ACE shock absorber isvery much lower.Benefit:By installing the ACE shockabsorber the machine wear andmaintenance can be drasticallyreduced.Assumption:Same energy absorption.Result:The ACE shock absorberstops the moving load in amuch shorter time.Benefit:By installing an ACE shockabsorber cycle times are reducedgiving much higher productionrates.Issue 9.2004 Specifications subject to change10Stoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com

The dynamic piston forces the hydraulic oilto escape through the metering orifices.The displaced oil is absorbed by the accumulator.A static seal system containing a U-cup and a wiperseals the shock absorber internally.The outer body and the pressure chamber are fullymachined from solid with closed rear end.ACE Design for Higher DemandsACE Piston Tube Technology:The increased volume of displaced hydraulic oil provides200 % more energy absorption capacity in comparisonwith the standard design. The wider effective weightrange enables these dampers to cover a much widerrange of applications. The piston and inner tube arecombined into a single component.ACE Rolling Diaphragm System:By the proven dynamic ACE rolling diaphragm sealsystem the shock absorber becomes hermetically sealedand provides up to 25 million cycles. The rolling diaphragmseal allows direct installation into the end coverof pneumatic cylinders (up to 7 Bar).These technologies are used separately or combined onthe MC 150 M to MC 600 M and SC 2 25 M to SC 2 650 Mmodel ranges.General Functionv = 2 m/s v = 1,5 m/s v = 1 m/s v = 0,5 m/s v = 0 m/snIssue 9.2004 Specifications subject to changennnnnnnn*4 *3*2*1*0P = 400 bar P = 400 bar P = 400 bar P = 400 bar P = 0 bar* The load velocity reduces continuously as you travel through the stroke due to the reduction in the number of meteringorifices (*) in action.

Built – in Safety12 Industrial shock absorbers and automobile braking systems havetwo crucial functional similarities:1. Both should bring a moving mass quickly and safely to restwithout any recoil or “bounce back”.2. Both must never suddenly fail without warning.ACE industrial shock absorbers are built to the highestquality. <strong>Shock</strong> absorber bodies and inner pressurechambers are fully machined from solid high tensilealloy steel. This gives a completely closed endone-piece pressure chamber with no seals orcirclips being necessary.The advantage of this design conceptis that the ACE shock absorber is ableto withstand much higher internalpressures or overload withoutdamage, giving a very high safetymargin. The chance of a suddenfailure due to overload etc.is effectively ruled out.Piston Rod hightensile steel hardenedand corrosion resistant.Bearing maintenance free,and self-lubricating.<strong>Shock</strong> Absorber Body massively builtone-piece body with closed rear end.Fully machined from solid steel to ensuretotal reliability.Seals only one dynamic seal.Hermetically sealed rolling diaphragmsealing system.Piston made from powdered metal,self-lubricating and friction free,with integral piston check valve.Serving as integral positive stop.Pressure Chamber made from high tensilesteel, hardened and nitrided. Fully machinedfrom solid with closed rear end to withstandinternal pressures up to 1000 Bar.Self-Compensating Industrial <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong>are maintenance free, self-contained hydraulic deviceswith multiple metering orifices which extend through thecomplete stroke length.After the moving load contacts the shock absorber thepiston moves gently back creating an immediate pressurerise in the pressure chamber. The hydraulic oil behind thepiston can initially escape through all the metering orifices.The number of metering orifices in action decreasesproportionally to the distance travelled through the stroke.The impact velocity of the moving load is smoothly reduced.The internal pressure and thus the reaction force (Q)remain essentially constant thoughout the complete strokelength providing a constant deceleration rate or:Linear DecelerationIssue 9.2004 Specifications subject to change12Stoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com

<strong>Miniature</strong> <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong>Application ExamplesACE <strong>Miniature</strong> <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong> have a distinctlybetter damping characteristic than air cushions.This pneumatic linear module for high precision, highspeed motion intentionally abandoned pneumaticend-of-travel damping. The compact miniature shockabsorbers of the type MC-25MH-NB decelerate thelinear motion safer and faster when reaching the endof-travelposition. They accept the moving load gentlyand decelerate it smoothly throughout the entire strokelength.Additional advantages: simpler construction, smallerpneumatic valves, lower maintenance costs as well asreduced compressed air consumption.Constant resisting force33<strong>Miniature</strong> <strong>Shock</strong> Absorber in linear pneumatic moduleIssue 9.2004 Specifications subject to changeSoft end-of-travel dampingon rotary movementsACE <strong>Miniature</strong> <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong> optimise productionwith minimum expenditure.The cycle rate for an assembly line producing electroniccomponents was increased to 3 600 units/hr by usingACE shock absorbers. <strong>Miniature</strong> shock absorbers typeSC-190M1 decelerate the rapid transfer movements onthe production line and using soft damping methodsoptimise the pick up and set down of the components.This soft deceleration technique has increased productionand reduced maintenance on the portal and rotaryactuator modules. The optional side load adaptor protectsthe shock absorber from high side load forcesand increases the operating lifetime.Using ACE shock absorbers reduces maintenancecosts by 50 % and running costs by 20 %, diminishingenergy consumption.Optimalised production in the electronics industryStoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com 33

Mounting Hints and Operation Details46Mechanical StopThe MAGNUM Series units have a built in stop collar(mechanical stop) which also serves as the frontadjuster.If using a shock absorber without a stop collar it isimportant to install a mechanical stop 0.5 to 1 mmbefore the end of the stroke.Stop Collar +Front Adjuster*Rear Aduster**MA and ML onlyGeneralFor optimum heat dissipation do not paint the shock absorber. For applications in environments with acids, dusts orpowders, abrasives, steam or water please protect the shock absorber and/or consider the special accessories on page43. The shock absorber should be securely mounted onto a flat and smooth surface of adequate strength.Self Compensating ModelsThe MC family of shock absorbers are self compensating. Providing the effective weight on the application remains withinthe band given in the capacity charts then no adjustment is necessary for changes in weights, speeds or propellingforce. These units are available with five standard operating bands (me min. – me max.) and are identified by the suffixnumber after the model which goes from -0 (very soft) up to -4 (very hard).The optimum deceleration is achieved when there is no abrupt change in the load velocity at the beginning or the endof the shock absorber stroke.If there is a hard impact at the start of stroke f use the next softer version (i.e. lower suffix number).If there is a hard setdown at the end of stroke f use the next harder version, or mount two units in parallel.Alternatively change to a larger bore size unit. Contact ACE for further advice.Adjustable ModelsThe adjustment has a graduated scale from 0 to 9. The adjuster in the body of MA/ML 64 has a side mounted lockingscrew which should be loosened (1/2 turn max.) with a hex. key before commencing adjustment. The MAGNUM Seriesunits can be adjusted by the hex. socket at the rear of the body – or by rotating the front stop collar. Both adjusters areinternally connected and will show the same adjustment value on the scales as they are turned. After installation cyclethe equipment a few times and turn the adjustment until optimum deceleration is achieved (i.e. no abrupt change in theload velocity observed at the beginning or at the end of shock absorber stroke). The shock absorber is delivered set at 5.If there is a hard impact at start of stroke f adjust the unit softer i.e. towards 9 on the scale.If there is a hard setdown at end of stroke f adjust the unit harder i.e. towards 0.Adjustment approaching “0” means: a) Impact velocity is too low: consider changing to Model type ML or:b) <strong>Shock</strong> absorber selected is too small: use next larger size or mount 2 unitsin parallel.Mounting OptionsBasic Model Flange Mounting Side Foot Mounting Clevis MountingRemoving Rod End ButtonPress fit(screw loctited for security).Clamp button in vice andloosen screw 3 or 4 turns.Drive out piston rodwith punch as shown.Issue 9.2004 Specifications subject to changeRepairsIt is possible to overhaul ACE shock absorbers in M 33 sizes and larger.

Installation Examples5412ACE <strong>Shock</strong> absorbers forpneumatic cylindersFor: • optimum deceleration• higher speeds• smaller cylinders• reduced air consumption• smaller valves and pipeworkExample: MA 3350 M-Z-Z = cylinder mountingSide load adapter for highside load anglesSeal with Teflontape or sealantStroke sWith heavy loads or high velocitiesnormal cylinder cushions are oftenoverloaded. This causes shock loadingleading to premature cylinder failureor excessive maintenance. Usingoversized cylinders to withstand thisshock loading is not the best solutionsince this considerably increases airconsumption and costs.The side loading is removed fromthe shock absorber piston rod leadingto considerably longer life.Wherever possible mount shockabsorber so that impacting face isperpendicular to shock absorberaxis half way through stroke.See pages 31 and 33 for more details.3Undamped free travel withdamped end position3Free travelThe lever 1 swings with the pin 2 ina slotted hole around pivot point 3.The lever is smoothly decelerated atthe extreme end of its travel.214One shock absorberfor both ends of travelPivot point of leverIt is possible to use only one shockabsorber for both end positions byusing different pivot points as shown.Tip: Leave approx. 1.5 mm of shockabsorber stroke free at each end oftravel.<strong>Shock</strong> absorber stroke<strong>Shock</strong> absorber stroke56Double acting shock absorberAir bleed collarWith a little additional work a normalunidirectional shock absorber can beconverted to work in 2 directions byusing a mechanism as shown.By using this Air Bleed adaptor theoperating lifetime of shock absorbersin aggressive environments can beconsiderably increased.The adapter protects the shockabsorber seals from cutting fluids,cleaning agents, cooking oils etc.by using a low pressure air bleed.Issue 9.2004 Specifications subject to changeFor more details see page 32.54Stoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com

Stacker Crane <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong> SCS-38 to 6360ACE Stacker Crane <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong>are self-contained and maintenancefree and are designed for emergencydeceleration of equipment such asautomated storage and retrieval systems.During normal operation theyprovide only minimal resistance butunder a higher speed emergency impactthey provide smooth controlleddeceleration thus preventing equipmentdamage.The SCS Series units are availablewith operating strokes up to 1200 mmand are specially orificed to provide asmooth constant deceleration throughouttheir complete stroke length. Theinternal hydraulic pressure and thusthe braking force, is maintained at aconstant safe level to bring the fastmoving load gently to rest in an emergency.Optional rod sensor availablefor indicating the complete extensionof the piston rod.Rod ButtonPiston RodPositive StopMain BearingGas ChamberBladder AccumulatorOuter BodyPressure ChamberMetering Orifices60In the normal “ready” condition the piston rod is fullyextended. When the impacting load strikes the absorberthe hydraulic oil behind the piston is forced out througha series of metering orifices. The number of meteringorifices in action reduces proportionally though the strokeand the load velocity is thereby smoothly reduced to zero.The internal pressure and thusthe reaction force (Q) remainsconstant throughout the entirestroke length. The displaced oilis stored in the bladder accumulator.The integrated gas chamber,containing low pressurenitrogen, provides the returnforce to reset the rod to its extendedposition and functionsas an accumulator for thehydraulic oil displaced duringoperation.Issue 9.2004 Specifications subject to change

Industrial Crane Buffers CB-63 to 16064ACE Industrial Crane Buffers are selfcontained,maintenance free and aredesigned for the emergency decelerationof heavy industrial cranes. Theprimary oil seals are protected insidethe main body and only a wiper seal isnecessary on the piston rod. Dirt orcontamination on the piston rod doesnot cause oil leakage or failure as isoften the case with conventional buffers.The integrated gas chamberenables the CB Series crane buffers toprovide return forces of up to 63 kN.This high return force is necessary formultiple – bridge cranes where thebuffers must separate the bridges afteran emergency collision. Normal bufferswould remain compressed aftersuch a collision and would not becapable of accepting further impacts.The robust, large dimensioned pistonrod bearing system, is designed forvery heavy duty use and is equivalentto that used in other buffers 80 %larger in size. The CB series units arecustom orificed to suit your specificapplication and provide a smooth constantdeceleration throughout theircomplete stroke length.Positive StopRod WiperRod ButtonPiston TubeGas ChamberMounting FlangeSeparator PistonSealsPistonHydraulic OilMetering OrificesPressure Chamber64In the normal “ready” condition the piston rod is fullyextended. When the impacting load strikes the buffer thehydraulic oil behind the piston is forced through a seriesof metering orifices. The number of metering orifices inaction reduces proportionally through the stroke and theload velocity is thereby smoothlyreduced to zero. The internalpressure and thus the reactionforce (Q) remains constantthroughout the entire strokelength. The displaced oil isstored in the piston accumulator.The integrated gas chamber,containing low pressurenitrogen, provides the returnforce to reset the rod to itsextended position and functionsas an accumulator for thehydraulic oil displaced duringoperation.Issue 9.2004 Specifications subject to change

Safety <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong>ManualManual and Maintenance Instructions for Safety <strong>Shock</strong> <strong>Absorbers</strong> Type SCS and CB68ACE security shock absorbers are high-quality products.To achieve long-lasting and trouble free operating lifeplease read the following instructions before installation.Inner Pressure Tube CharacteristicsThe inner pressure tube is individually designed andmanufactured for each specific application.When several safety shock absorbers of the same size butwith different metering orifice patterns are used in onesystem it is important that the mounting positions are notmixed up. Safety shock absorbers have individuallydesigned orifice patterns depending upon application andtherefore must only be installed in correct position.The calculation and selection of the correct safety shockabsorbers should be performed or checked by ACE.MountingTo mount the shock absorber, we recommend the use oforiginal ACE mounting accessories shown in catalogue.The mounting of each shock absorber must be exactly positionedso that the reaction force (Q) can be adequatelytransmitted into the mounting structure.ACE recommends installation via the front flange – Fmounting style that ensures the maximum protectionagainst buckling.The damper must be mounted so that the moving loadsare decelerated with the least possible side loading to thepiston rod. The maximum permissable side load anglesare detailed in our current catalogue.The entire stroke length must be used for decelerationbecause only using part of the stroke can lead to overstressingand damage to the unit.Mounting style front flange – FSafety <strong>Shock</strong> Absorber SCSSafety <strong>Shock</strong> Absorber CBEnvironmental RequirementsThe permissible temperature range for each shockabsorber type can be found in our current catalogue.CAUTION: Useage outside the specified temperaturerange can lead to premature breakdown and damage ofof the shock absorbers which can then result in severesystem damage or machine failures.Trouble free operation outdoors or in damp environmentsis only warranted if the dampers are coated with a specificcorrosion protection finish.Initial Start-Up ChecksFirst impacts on the shock absorber should only be triedafter correctly mounting and with reduced impact speedsand – if possible – with reduced load. Differences betweencalculated and actual operating data can then be detectedearly on, and damage to your system can be avoided. Ifthe shock absorbers were selected on calculated data thatdoes not correspond to the maximum possible loading(i.e. selection based on drive power being switched off orat reduced impact speed) then these restricted impactconditions must not be exceeded during initial testing orsubsequent use of the system. Otherwise you risk damagingthe shock absorbers and/or your machine by overstressingmaterials. After the initial trial check that thepiston rod fully extends again and that there are no signsof oil leakage. Also check that the mounting hardware isstill securely tightened up.You need to satisfy yourself that no damage has occurredto the piston rod or the body or the mounting hardware.Fixed Mechanical StopSafety shock absorbers do not need an external mechanicalstop. The stroke of the safety shock absorber is limitedby the contact of the rod end button onto the front body ofthe shock absorber (with type SCS 33 to SCS 64 by theload contacting the integral or additional stop collar).What Needs to be Checked after a Full Load Impact?Safety shock absorbers that were originally checked onlyat reduced speed or load need to be checked again after afull load impact (i.e. Emergency use) has occurred.Check that the piston rod fully extends to it's full out position,that there are no signs of oil leakage and that themounting hardware is still securely fixed.You need to satisfy yourself that no damage has occurredto the piston rod or the body or the mounting hardware.If no damage has occurred, the safety shock absorber canbe put back into normal operation (see initial start-up).MaintenanceSafety shock absorbers are sealed systems and do notneed special maintenance. Safety shock absorbers that arenot used regularly (i.e. that are intended for Emergencystop systems) should be checked within the normal timeframe for safety checks, but at least once a year. At thistime special attention must be paid to checking that thepiston rod resets to its fully extended position, that thereis no oil leakage and that the mounting brackets are stillsecure and undamaged.

TUBUS-seriesOverview of Profile DampersPhysical Properties of TUBUS Profile DampersEnergy Capacity Operating Lifetime Energy Capacityper unit weightper unit volumePUR 80A PUR 90A Rubber 80A TUBUSACE TUBUS Profile Dampers are high performancedamping elements made from a special Co-PolyesterElastomer.They have a high energy absorbing capacitycompared with other materials.The TUBUS-series comprises 5 main types with over80 individual models.The excellent damping characteristics are achieved asa result of the special elastomer material and theworldwide patented construction design. This enablesus to change the characteristics of the elastomermaterial so that individual and distinct damping curvesare possible.TUBUS dampers offer a considerable performanceadvantage when compared to other materials such asrubber, urethanes and steel springs.A further advantage compared to other damping elementsis the operating life expectancy – up to twentytimes longer than with urethane dampers, up to tentimes longer than with rubber dampers and up to fivetimes longer than with steel spring dampers.80ForceComparison of Damping CharacteristicsTATSStrokeTR/TR-LCharacteristics of dynamic energy absorption for impactvelocity over 0.5 m/s. For impact velocities under 0.5 m/s,please request a static characteristic curve.The innovative TUBUS dampers absorb energy whileexhibiting the following damping characteristics:Model Type TA: Degressive characteristic with max.energy absorption (coloured area) with min. stroke.Energy absorption: 40 % to 66 %.Model Type TS: Almost linear characteristic with lowreaction force over a short operating stroke.Energy absorption: 26 % to 56 %.Model Type TR/TR-L: Progressive characteristic withgradually increasing reaction force over a long stroke.Energy absorption TR: 17 % to 35 %Energy absorption TR-L: 14 % to 26 %The material does not absorb water or swell and it is highlyresistant to abrasion. Products of the TUBUS-series willwork at temperatures of -40°C up to 90°C and are resistantto grease, oil, petroleum fluids, microbe and chemicalattack and sea water. They also have good UV and ozoneresistance. The very long service life of up to one millioncycles, the compact size and the low unit weight differentiatethe TUBUS profile dampers from all other types ofelastomer damping elements.If you are looking for an economic damping solution wherethe load does not need to be decelerated to an exactdatum position and you do not need 100 % absorptionof the impact energy then TUBUS dampers are a real alternativeto hydraulic end position damping. They are thepreferred solution for end stop dampers in robotic systems,high bay warehouse systems and all similar automatedplant and machinery.For the crane industry we manufacture special highcapacity crane buffers that have an ideal decelerationcharacteristic with high return force for this type of applicationand energy capacities from 450 to 12 720 Nm. Thismeans you can have a TUBUS crane buffer capable ofproviding up to 900 kN of braking force in a package onlyweighing 3 kg and absorbing up to 50 % of the energy.Special DampersBesides the standard product range of the TUBUS-seriesthere are also a large number of special products availableupon request for customer-specific applications.Issue 9.2004 Specifications subject to change80Stoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com

Rotary DampersACE Rotary Dampers are sealed maintenancefree units. They are availablewith fixed or adjustable dampingrates. The damping can be clockwise,anticlockwise or in both directions.The outer body is either plastic or metaldepending upon model size. The outputconnection can be direct onto thekeyed output shaft or indirect via aplastic gear (available with 4 standardmodules). Plastic rack with modules of0.5 to 1 are also available.Applications include office machinery,lids and flaps, floppy disc drives, pianolids, CD players, auto glove-boxes,vending machines, medical equipment,furniture industry anda multitude of others.Keyed Output ShaftDamping VaneDamping OrificePressure ChamberOuter Body8282ACE Rotary Dampers guarantee the smooth controlledopening and closing of small lids, covers and flaps. Theycan be mounted directly on the pivot axis or can be usedto provide linear damping by using a plastic gear and rack.They enable mechanisms to operate with a smooth controlledmotion giving that ”touch of quality“ to whateverproduct they are used on. ACE rotary dampers are filledwith a special high viscosity fluid (silicone type) and sealedfor life. The fluid is passed through an orifice or groove bya rotating vane to provide damping resistance. The dampingtorque generated is determined by the fluid viscosityand by the orifice configuration.Lifetime: With a max.rotational speed of 50revs/min and a maximumof 10 cycles/min(12 cycles/min withthe FDT/FDN types)the rotary dampersstill provide more than80 % of their dampingtorque after a run of50 000 cycles.Issue 9.2004 Specifications subject to change

This results in jagged edges rather thana smooth clean hole and also causes tool breakage.By installing an ACE VC Feed Control it is possible toprecisely control the rate of drill advance. As a resultthe drilled holes are clean and consistent and drillbreakage is considerably reduced.ProfileSaw BladeVarying material types, hardness and wear on thesaw blade causes the cutting pressure to vary greatly.However the saw advance speed should remain constantas changes cause breakage of the material beingcut or of the saw blade.An ACE VC Feed Control fitted directly to the cuttinghead provides a simple and low cost solution. Thecutting speed remains constant and can be easily preset.95Stoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com 95

Hydraulic DampersApplication ExamplesHydraulic dampers provide a clean cut.This profile saw was designed to produce cut-outs inaluminium profiles without generating the stick-slipeffect that can often be observed when using pneumaticcylinders. This uneven motion can cause impreciseedges due to jammed saw blades or slight movementof the work-piece during cutting. Fitting the hydraulicdamper type HB 28-400-EE enabled this machine tomove smoothly along the cutting line to produce 50precision cut workpieces per hour.Clean-cut edgesProfile saw delivers perfectly clean-cut edgesIssue 9.2004 Specifications subject to changePrecise unreelingHydraulic dampers bring the sled movement of thistextile machine to a gentle stop.At the turning point of 130 kg reeling spools, a sledshould move up and down smoothly without causinga collision at the end of stroke position. The solutionwas provided by the hydraulic damper DVC-32-100.A self-contained sealed unit, ready to install and maintenancefree these units are ideal for precise controlof speeds in both directions of travel. The travel speedis maintained throughout the entire stroke and can beindependantly adjusted in each direction of travel.Thanks to their compact design and wide choice ofmounting accessories, these dampers could be easilyintegrated into this machine.105Textile machine unreels threads even betterStoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com 105


Industrial Gas Springs GS-8 to GS-70106106The ACE Gas Spring range includesPush Type, Pull Type (traction) andLockable Gas Springs all designed forthe industrial environment.ACE Industrial Gas Springs are maintenancefree and self contained. Theyare available with body diameters from8 mm up to 70 mm, and forces from10 N up to 13 000 N ex. stock. The newACE Gas Springs offer a high servicelife with a hard ceramic coating on thepiston rod. Also an integrated lowfriction bearing with a grease chamberwhich provides a very low break awayforce. All of which are superior to aconventional gas spring. It also allowsthem to be mounted in any orientation,although rod downwards is preferableif you want to take advantage of thebuilt-in end position damping. Theoptional valve allows the force to beadjusted to your specific requirements.A wide variety of interchangeable endfittings makes installation easy andversatile. They are universally applicablewherever you have lifting andlowering. They remove the need for”muscle power“ and provide controlledmotion for lids, hoods, machineguards etc. The ACE Selection Softwarequickly specifies the correct gasspring for your individual applicationand we can deliver, usually within24 hours. ACE Traction Gas springswork in the pull direction and areavailable with body diameters of19 mm and 28 mm. ACE LockableGas springs can be locked or unlockedanywhere through their strokelength.

Function, Calculation and Mounting TipsGas springs are universally accepted, wherever you want topush, pull, lift, lower, or position covers, lids or other componentsby hand without using an external energy source.ACE gas springs are individually filled to a predeterminedpressure to suit a customer’s requirement (extension Force F1).The cross-sectional area of the piston rod and filling pressuredetermines the extension force F=p*A. During the compressionof the piston rod, nitrogen flows through an orifice in thepiston from the full bore side of the piston to the annulus.The nitrogen is compressed by the volume of the piston rod.As the piston rod is compressed the pressure increases, soincreasing the reaction force (progression). The force dependson the proportional relationship between the piston rod andthe inner tube diameter, which is approximately linear.Gas Spring Force-Stroke CharacteristicsStandard Gas Spring (Push Type)5F3einfahrendcompressionausfahrendextensionF1Nutzhub mmTotal Gesamthub Stroke mmF4F25F RWhen compressing the piston rod, there is an additionalfriction force caused by the contact pressure of the seals(this only occurs during the compression stroke) F RF3 = force at the beginning of the compression strokeF4 = force at the end of the compression strokeModel Progression* FrictionF R **approx.% approx. in NGS-8 28 10GS-10 20 10GS-12 25 20GS-15 27 20GS-19 36 - 42*** 30GS-22 39 - 50*** 30GS-28 60 - 95*** 40GS-40 47 - 53*** 50GS-70 25 50GBF-28 50 60GBS-28 50 60** depending on the filling force*** depending on the strokeF1 = nominal force at 20°C (this is the pressure figure normally used when specifying the gas spring)F2 = force in the complete compressed positionTraction Gas Spring (Pull Type)Model Progression* Friction F R **approx.% approx . in NGZ-19 10 30GZ-28 20 405F4F2outward strokeauszieheninward strokeeinziehenF3F1Nutzhub mmTotal Gesamthub Stroke mm5F RWhen extending the piston rod, there is an additionalfriction force caused by the contact pressure of the seals(this only occurs during the extension stroke) F RF3 = force at the beginning of the extension strokeF4 = force at the end of the extension strokeF1 = nominal force at 20°C (this is the pressure figure normally used whenspecifying the gas spring)F2 = force in the complete extended position* The Progression (the slope of the force line in thediagrams above) is due to the reduction of theinternal gas volume as the piston rod moves fromits initial position to its fully stroked position.The approx. progression values given above forstandard springs can be altered on request.Effect of Temperature: The nominalF1 figure is given at 20°C. An increaseof 10°C will increase force by 3.4 %.Filling Tolerance on F1 Force: -20 N to +40 N or5 % to 7 %.Service LifeIssue 9.2004 Specifications subject to changeFilling tolerance: -20 N to +40 N or 5 % to 7 %Effect of temperature: An increase in temperature of each10°C will increase force by approx. 3.4%.Temperature range: -20°C to +80°C (special sealsfrom -45°C to 200°C).Mounting: The gas springs should ideally be installed withthe piston rod pointing downwards to use the end dampingduring the extension stroke to smoothly decelerate themotion of the gas spring. Some ACE gas springs have auniquely designed front bearing with an integrated greasechamber allowing the gas spring to be mounted and operatedin any position if required.When fitting the gas springs ensure that the stroke is fullyextended (GZ type fully compressed), this makes assemblyand disassembly much easier. Support the moving mass/flap during assembly or disassembly to prevent accident.To avoid twisting or side loading, it is recommended that balljoints or other pivoted mounting attachments are used.The mounting attachments must always be securely tightenedonto the threaded studs of the gas spring.ACE gas springs are maintenance-free. DO NOT oil or greasethe piston rod!The piston rod must be protected from any hits, scratches or dirtand especially paint. Damage to the surface finish of the pistonrod will destroy the sealing system and cause loss of pressure.The outer body must not be deformed or mechanically damaged.ACE gas springs can be stored in any position. Experience hasshown that long storage periods do not result in loss of pressure.However you may experience some ”stiction” requiring ahigher effort to move the gas spring for the first time after along storage period.Generally, ACE gas springs are tested to 70 000 to 100 000complete strokes (the automobile industry requires 50 000strokes). During these tests the gas spring must not lose morethan 5 % of its pressure. Depending upon the application andoperating environment, the service life of these gas springsmay be much longer. In practise 500 000 strokes or more havebeen achieved on some applications.Lifetime traction gas spring see pages 118 and 119.Stoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com 107107

Industrial Gas SpringsApplication ExamplesACE Gas Springs protect samples in an incubator usedin chemistry and biology labs.How can you keep a hood made of Plexiglas, underwhich valuable lab material is placed, secure in an openedor closed position? With two maintenance-free,ready to install ACE gas springs type GS-12-60-AA-X.With 10 mm end-of-travel damping and an extensionforce of between 10 and 180 N, these gas springs willsupport and control the hood weight without difficulty.The hood is always easily opened and the gas springswill support it in this open position. The hood will alsostay securely closed during the incubation period.Secure opening and closingMini incubator fitted with miniature gas springsWith ACE Industrial Gas Springs, everything works.These innovative, foldable ringside stands proved tooheavy to simply fold up by hand. Help came withthe installation of two ACE industrial gas springs typeGS-28-300-CC-V which are fitted with a special adjustmentvalve system. At 28 mm diameter, they have astroke length of 300 mm and can provide an extensionforce of between 150 N and 2 500 N.They thereby provide the muscle power to supportthe deadweight of the seat stand and allow easy handoperated set-up of these ringside seats.128Easier folding systemIssue 9.2004 Specifications subject to changeFoldable, space-saving ringside stands128Stoßdämpfer GmbH · PO Box 15 10 · D- 40740 Langenfeld · Tel. +49 -2173 - 922 680 · Fax +49 -2173 - 922 689 · E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com
