Industrial shock absorber
Industrial damping technology plays a crucial role in machines and systems. As mechanical components, industrial shock absorbers increase working speed, precision and safety in automated assembly systems, conveyor systems and more.
From 100 to 0 with a damper
State-of-the-art damper technology: PowerStop is the hydraulic industrial shock absorber created by the Zimmer Group that slows down the kinetic energy to zero. Due to its optimal capacity, PowerStop achieves maximum energy absorption in the smallest installation spaces: With unique spiral groove technology – low-vibration and without sacrificing its precision.
OUR EXPERTISE – YOUR ADVANTAGE
- Low-vibration and precise braking: Due to the continuous tapering of the spiral groove.
- Long service life: Thanks to reduced wear due to hydrostatic piston guide and built-in oil reserve.
- Corrosion protection: From using stainless steel.
Continuous damping thanks to spiral groove technology
With the introduction of the High Energy series, the PowerStop industrial shock absorbers’ commitment to quality has been the highest standard in performance for 30 years. Their proven features have been enhanced even further with the underlying optimization. The shock absorbers use an innovative, organic oil that can be used in the food industry with H1 certification and is even biodegradable. The highest level of corrosion protection is achieved thanks to the use of stainless steel for the housing and piston rod. In addition, a new fixed stop with a longer piston rod guide length has been developed to increase the PowerStop’s well-known robustness even more. The product line is completed by an extensive range of accessories.
THROTTLE MECHANISM – Conventional solution
Spiral groove technology – THE HIGH-END SOLUTION OF THE ZIMMER GROUP
Oil reserve
The shock absorbers of the High Energy series are filled with oil accordingly so that the volume compensation spring is under pre-load. Automatic readjustment of the spring compensates for oil loss, which results in a long service life.
Mini Energy – The slender one
The Mini Energy provides a high rate of energy absorption when it comes to precision damping in miniature areas.
Product advantages
- Highest performance in a minimal space
- Integrated oil volume reservoir
- Increased guide length
Standard Energy – The economical one
The number one among standard dampers. Efficient damping at common energy absorption levels. This makes the Standard Energy series the winner in price/performance value.
Product advantages
- Price/performance winner
- Low-vibration damping thanks to spiral groove
- Low support load
High Energy – the powerful one
The high-end damper for the highest demands. Thanks to the spiral groove in combination with the pressure sleeve and the oil reserve, the High Energy series achieves a cycle count that exceeds everything else on the market, with extreme energy absorption levels. All this with minimal space requirements.
Product advantages
- For the highest demands and maximum energy absorption
- Integrated oil reserve
- Hardened and precision-ground guide
- Cycle counts that exceed anything else on the market
Adjustable Energy – the adjustable one
Can the High End series be surpassed? Yes, with the new adjustable series, the high energy absorption levels can be precisely adjusted to the entire stroke. This reduces the force and the damping is even softer.
Product advantages
- Optimally adjustable damping across the entire stroke
- Reduced supporting force – decreased load on the design
- For the highest demands and maximum energy absorption
- Hardened and precision-ground guide
