TUBUS TI Safety Dampers

Single-Use Emergency Stop Dampers for Maximum Impact Protection

In applications where safety and precision are paramount, ACE’s TUBUS TI safety dampers offer an intelligent solution for emergency stop scenarios. Designed for single-use, these compact, irreversible dampers are ideal for protecting equipment in critical impact conditions—such as linear axes, tool machines, and electro-mechanical drives. With energy capacities ranging from 562 Nm to 10,953 Nm per cycle and strokes of 25 mm to 80 mm, they are built to withstand intense force while offering exceptional performance in confined spaces.

What sets the TUBUS TI apart is its energy absorption efficiency of up to 96%, significantly reducing rebound and eliminating recoil. Unlike traditional elastomer dampers, it absorbs the force and retains the deformation, making it a single-impact solution that ensures absolute deceleration in emergency situations.

Made of high-grade co-polyester elastomer or polymer with an internal metal guide sleeve, these units are maintenance-free, easy to install, and resistant to lubricants and many chemicals. However, due to their specific material properties, they are not UV-resistant and must be replaced after each impact.

Typical use cases include high-speed servo drives, test rigs, and automated portal systems, where stopping power must be immediate and reliable. With sizes ranging from 32 mm to 63 mm and maximum dynamic force up to 204,127 N, these dampers deliver a powerful yet compact solution for emergency energy absorption.

For situations requiring dependable, non-reusable emergency damping, TUBUS TI stands as an affordable and robust alternative to hydraulic safety absorbers—ensuring equipment protection when it matters most.
