Crash dampers

The easy way to increase safety: With its crash dampers, ACE offers design engineers an extremely effective alternative to conventional system safety in the form of a single-use solution. Each crash element – whether made of custom designed aluminium piping or steel – can absorb high inertia forces almost instantaneously in the event of an impact. When arranged in series or parallel, the crash elements can actually absorb higher energy values in one go.

Further advantages of the crash dampers – which underwent extensive testing during their development – are that they are simple to install, can be easily retrofitted in existing systems, are quick to replace and reduce downtime after a crash. What’s more, the incident can be reconstructed based on the deformation of the crash box and, in a best-case scenario, avoided in the future.

For this reason, the crash dampers are found in many applications, such as the protection of robot linear units and the safeguarding of limit positions in the case of machine tools, conveyor systems and high bay rack feeders. They offer simple and effective protection against unwanted impacts and help to increase safety in various branches of industry.
