Miniature Shock Absorbers: Compact Solutions for Precision Engineering

ACE's miniature shock absorbers, ranging from the MC5 to MC75 series, offer a high-performance solution for applications requiring compact, efficient designs. These shock absorbers deliver optimal energy absorption while maintaining a small form factor, making them ideal for industries such as mechanical engineering, robotics, medical technology, and electro-technology.

Key Features:

• Self-Compensating: These shock absorbers automatically adjust to varying forces, ensuring consistent performance across cycles.
• Energy Capacity: The energy capacity ranges from 0.68 Nm/Cycle to 9 Nm/Cycle, providing flexibility for different applications.
• Stroke: Available in stroke lengths from 4 mm to 10 mm, the shock absorbers cater to various compact setups.
• Minimal Resetting Force: After braking, the absorbers exhibit low resetting forces, which is crucial for designs requiring minimal motion resistance.
• Temperature Stability: The oil-filled bodies maintain performance across a wide operating temperature range from -10 °C to +66 °C.

Technical Data:

• Energy Capacity: 0.68 Nm/Cycle to 9 Nm/Cycle
• Stroke Length: 4 mm to 10 mm
• Impact Velocity Range: 0.15 m/s to 4 m/s
• Operating Temperature Range: -10 °C to +66 °C
• Mounting: Can be mounted in any position, providing flexibility for various designs.
• Integrated Positive Stop: Prevents over-travel, ensuring the shock absorber operates within its designed limits.

Materials:

• Outer Body: Steel with corrosion-resistant coating
• Piston Rod: Hardened stainless steel for durability
• Rod End Button: Steel with elastomer insert for certain models (MC25 and MC75)
• Locknut: Steel for MC25, MC75; aluminum for MC5 and MC9 models

The damping medium is a temperature-stable oil that ensures consistent performance throughout its operating temperature range.

Applications:

These miniature shock absorbers are designed for use in a variety of industries and applications, including:

• Mechanical Engineering: Ideal for integration into machines, systems, and automation processes.
• Medical and Electro-Technology: Provides precision damping in sensitive equipment.
• Robotics: Useful for shock absorption in compact robotic components.
• Other Applications: Suitable for pneumatic cylinders, handling modules, copiers, measuring tables, locking systems, and more.
• Stop Collar: For precise end-position datum, consider using the optional stop collar type AH.
• Safety: Care should be taken to avoid external materials that may degrade the seals, potentially reducing the service life of the shock absorbers. ACE offers recommendations for suitable materials.
• Customization: Special finishes and increased corrosion protection are available upon request, with models available without rod end buttons.

ACE’s miniature shock absorbers from the MC5 to MC75 series provide an efficient, compact solution for applications requiring reliable energy absorption and shock damping. With a broad range of energy capacities and versatile mounting options, these absorbers are ideal for both industrial and high-tech environments where space and performance are critical.
