Shock absorbers and oil brakes ensure reliable and smooth deceleration of moving masses. During any movement, unwanted shocks and vibrations occur, which, without proper damping or braking, can lead to rapid wear or damage to the affected system. Industrial shock absorbers reduce impacts, lower operational noise, and contribute to the sustainable protection of industrial equipment by preventing heavy impacts and excessive rebound.
Hydraulic shock absorbers are used for a variety of purposes. Our range includes a wide selection of products suitable for diverse requirements. Options range from self-adjusting shock absorbers with stroke-controlled throttle functions—offering either a rapidly increasing damping force curve with a short stroke or a gently increasing damping force curve with a long stroke—to shock absorbers with manually adjustable damping hardness.
Our products are generally suitable for linear applications, while, for instance, the DYSD shock absorber is designed for rotary applications.
Hydraulic cushioning cylinders are the ideal choice for ensuring a slow, consistent braking speed over the entire stroke. The braking speed can be individually adjusted, allowing optimal adaptation to the specific industrial application. Slow feed speeds are possible, reaching as low as 0.1 m/s.
The YSR-C shock absorber is a hydraulic shock absorber that is fully screw-in and self-adjusting. It features a stroke-controlled throttle function with a short stroke. The damping force curve increases rapidly. The YSR-C is suitable for both linear and rotational drives
The DYSW shock absorber is a fully screw-in, self-adjusting hydraulic shock absorber. It features a metallic fixed stop and a soft characteristic curve thanks to a stroke-controlled throttle function. The damping force curve increases gently, providing uniform and smooth damping in combination with a long damper stroke. This hydraulic damping element is particularly suited for low-vibration applications and ensures short cycle times.
The DYSC shock absorber is a fully screw-in hydraulic shock absorber. It features a metallic fixed stop and a stroke-controlled throttle function with a short stroke. The damping force curve increases rapidly. The DYSC shock absorber is suitable for both linear and rotational drives.
The DYSD shock absorber is a hydraulic shock absorber featuring a continuous mounting thread, a fixed stop on the housing, and an internal hexagon for stroke adjustment. It is equipped with a stroke-controlled throttle function, a short stroke, and a rapidly increasing damping force curve. This hydraulic damping element is designed for rotational operations and is specifically engineered for applications in pressure chambers. For this reason, the DYSD shock absorber includes an additional return spring to compensate for pressure chamber conditions
The YSRW shock absorber is a fully screw-in, self-adjusting hydraulic shock absorber. It features a soft characteristic curve due to a stroke-controlled throttle function. The damping force curve increases gently and is distributed across the entire damper stroke, ensuring uniform and smooth damping.
The YSRW-DGC shock absorber is a fully screw-in, self-adjusting hydraulic shock absorber. It features a soft characteristic curve due to a stroke-controlled throttle function. The damping force curve increases gently and is evenly distributed across the entire damper stroke, ensuring consistent and smooth damping. This hydraulic damping element is specifically designed for use in the DGC linear drive.
The DYSR shock absorber is a screw-in hydraulic shock absorber with a return spring.
The damping hardness can be individually adjusted
The DYHR hydraulic cushioning cylinder is a screw-in cusioning cylinder, which ensures a constant and slow braking speed over the entire stroke. The braking speed can be individually and finely adjusted. The built-in compression spring returns the piston rod to its initial position. It is particularly suitable for slow feed speeds, operating within a range of up to 0.1 m/s.
The YSRG-C shock absorber is a hydraulic shock absorber with a self-adjusting mechanism and a return spring. It features a stroke-controlled throttle function with a short stroke, providing a rapidly increasing damping force curve. The YSRG-C is designed for use in linear drives.
The YSRWJ shock absorber is a self-adjusting, progressive hydraulic shock absorber. Its damping force curve increases gently, ensuring consistent and smooth damping when combined with an adjustable damper stroke.
