TUBUS Dampers

ACE’s TUBUS Series – High-Performance Damping Solutions

The ACE TUBUS profile dampers are high-performance damping elements, ideal for both continuous use and emergency stop scenarios. They are also a perfect alternative in applications where the stopping point doesn’t need to be ultra-precise. Designed for demanding environments with limited installation space, these dampers help safely decelerate moving masses.

Their use varies based on model:

• For continuous deceleration, models include: TUBUS TA, TS, TR-H, TR-L, TR-HD
• For emergency stop applications only: TUBUS TC, TC-S
• And for single-use emergency stops: TUBUS TI
  
  

These dampers are made from a co-polyester elastomer, a material that generates minimal heat during use and delivers consistent damping performance. All models are suitable for both emergency stops and continuous-duty applications.

 

Benefits of TUBUS Profile Dampers:

• Excellent price/performance ratio
• Long service life
• Highly durable material
• Seawater resistant
• Maintenance-free and ready-to-install
  
  

Mounting is quick and easy using the special screw included with each unit. These compact, cost-effective elements are ideal for end-of-travel damping on linear axes, in tool and machine manufacturing, pneumatic and hydraulic equipment, material handling systems, and other industrial applications.
