Ace Controls International announces a major advance in shock absorber design and performance with the introduction of the new Magnum range of shock absorbers.Ace Controls International announces a major advance in shockabsorber design and performance with the introduction of the newMagnum range of shock absorbers. Magnum shock absorbers,available in both adjustable and self-compensating versions, havea larger energy capacity than competing units, all in a smallerfully threaded body for easier mounting. To achieve this greaterenergy capacity the inner and metering tube diameters have beenincreased.
The larger diameter inner tube also gives an increasedoperating range of effective weights.
Two further improvementsare an integral stop collar and a superior length to diameterratio for the rod bearing.
Magnum shock absorbers are protectedin dirty environments with a new rod seal design withunsymmetrical u-cups.
Employing two lip seals, one primary lipwith a backup balancing lip trailing providing longer life.
Ablend of polyurethane seal material, having less compression setand higher tensile strength, extends the seal's cycle life.The integral stop collar mechanically shields around the wiperseal and rod.
Shock absorber adjustment has also been made easierby offering two methods of adjustment.
The stop collar doubles asan adjuster with a second adjuster at the back of the unit forincreased access.
Design engineers can now select smaller shockabsorbers for previously similar applications with reductions inrequired space and cost.
