Applications of Shock Absorber

Shock absorbers are designed to absorb shocks and applications. They are used not only in automotive industries but are also used in various other manufacturing and processing industries. Some of the other applications of the shock absorbers can be summarized as follows:
Automotive robotics
OEM shock absorbers are used for controlling high drive forces for precise robot positioning and improved assembled product quality.

Foundry –conveyor line
The shock absorber reduces the velocity of the metal flasks traveling on a conveyor line thereby eliminating the risk of damaging the flask.

Rolling Door
The shock absorbers used in automatic rolling doors protect precision mechanical components and prolong door life.

Glass forming equipment
Adjustable shock absorbers can be used for cushioning the high velocity motion of the take out-out, take out-in, and blow head positions of a glass forming machine.

Air cylinder
Cylinder cushion often becomes ineffective because operating velocity of the cylinder is high. However the use of shock absorber not only accommodates high impact forces but also results in noise free operations and increase production rates.

Printing
The shock absorber used in the printing machines, assists in paper positioning and prevents the equipment from damage during printing press test runs.

Paper rolls
Shock absorbers reduces the rate of transfer of large paper rolls moving through production on inclined planes. This minimizes machinery damage and paper wastes and increases the productivity.

Automotive – transfer line
In automated assembly plants usually large shock absorbers are used for decelerating and protecting shuttle/ transfer line systems.

Packaging machinery
The shock absorber in packaging industry controls rapid movement of a table transportation of loaded packages to an automated case packer sealing station.

Wood working equipment
The shock absorbers are often used in wood cutting machines for uniform and proper wood cutting and for reducing the vibrations during operations.

Overhead cranes
Trolley movement of the crane is decelerated quickly by the shock absorber thereby serving as safety stops when mounted at each end of an overhead crane bridge.

Transport equipment
Shock absorber when installed at the end of the cable and other transport systems. Eliminates the Jarring of passengers.
