Shock Absorber

Shock Absorber – Product Description

A shock absorber is a component that extends equipment life and improves safety and comfort by absorbing vibration and impact loads in machinery, line equipment and automotive applications. It is produced from materials such as EPDM, NBR, neoprene and polyurethane.

• Load Capacity: 5–5,000 kg
• Frequency: 5–50 Hz
• Temperature: −30°C ~ +120°C (depending on material)

Why a Shock Absorber?

• Vibration control: Reduces wear on bearings and joints.
• Noise reduction: Lowers dB levels to improve working comfort.
• Safety: Dampens shock loads to protect equipment and operators.
• Efficiency: Improves process stability and product quality.

Shock Absorber Applications

• Industrial machinery, presses and line equipment
• Generator, compressor and pump systems
• Elevators and conveying systems
• Automotive and heavy vehicles
• Construction and mining machinery
• Energy and process plants

Technical Selection Criteria

1. Load / Carrying capacity: Evaluate static and dynamic loads separately.
2. Frequency range: Choose natural frequency to avoid resonance.
3. Operating environment: Consider oil, chemicals, UV/ozone and humidity.
4. Material: EPDM (air/ozone), NBR (oil), Neoprene (general purpose), PU (high impact).
5. Mounting: Bolted, threaded pin, flanged or adhesive types.
