A3 and CA3 series

Efficient and adjustable: the ACE brand also offers industrial shock absorbers with heavy loads, which can be adjusted. The A3 range models, weighing between 7.55 kg and 48 kg, are extremely robust hydraulic elements, ready to be installed with extremely high energy absorption levels and high damping capacity. The special feature that sets them apart is their flexibility. In fact, all shock absorbers can be adjusted using the hexagon socket at the base of the shock absorber, so they can be perfectly adapted to the required data. The A-models cover a weight range from 0.3 kg to 204,000 kg and can absorb up to 44,000 Nm of energy. These adjustable ACE industrial shock absorbers are the right solution for applications with heavy loads and, in particular, in heavy mechanics where the operating data is not precisely determined.

Capacity: 2,350 Nm/Cycle to 44,000 Nm/Cycle
Impact speed: 0.1 m/s to 5 m/s. Other speeds on request.
Operating temperature: -12 °C to +66 °C. Please consult us for different temperatures.
Mounting: optional
Fixed stop: external fixed stops to be provided from 2.5 mm to 3 mm before the end of the stroke.
Adjustment: hard impact at the beginning of the stroke, adjustment of the ring towards 9. Hard impact at the end of the stroke, setting of the ring towards 0.
Materials: Outer body: Corrosion-resistant coated steel; piston rod: hard chrome-plated steel; end stop: hardened, corrosion-resistant coated steel; return spring: chrome-plated steel.
Damping fluid : Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) 

Note: For emergency stop applications and continuous operation, the specified maximum capacities may be exceeded. In this case, consult us.

Safety instructions: External materials in the immediate environment may attack the sealing components and shorten the service life. Please contact us for proposals for suitable solutions. Do not paint the shock absorbers due to heat emission.

Special oils, nickel plating, increased corrosion protection or other special options are available on request.

The mass of the CA3 voluminous shock absorbers is between 12.8 kg and 146 kg. They complement ACE's range of self-compensating shock absorbers. All models in this product family are designed for applications where robustness and high energy absorption are important. The shock absorbers are specifically designed for each customer's application with the help of ACE's calculation program. Thus, the risk of collisions and inaccurate adjustment is eliminated. The CA models can absorb up to 126,500 Nm of energy and can be used for effective masses between 700 kg and 326,000 kg. They are indispensable due to their combination of high strength, high energy absorption and a wide damping spectrum. These self-compensating industrial shock absorbers for heavy loads are mainly used in heavy mechanical engineering, e.g. on lift bridges and steel structures or for the damping of lock systems.
