Hydraulic Dampers add Safety and Durability to Orchard Tractors
Key Dollar Cab began looking for a way to provide smooth, controlled motion when opening orchard tractor doors. They came in touch with ACE from a local distributor and worked with our team to find the perfect solution.
A custom HB15 damper solved this unique problem for Key Dollar Cab, they needed a damper that would provide an adjustable resistance for the opening swing of the door. The door only needed to be gently slowed at the end of the swing to prevent it from slamming open and causing damage to the tractor cab. The damper has no resistance when closing to eliminate undue stress on the operator and to allow the door to close easily and tightly.
Adjustable
Compression and extension force 20 N to 50,000 N
Stroke 10 mm to 800 mm
High quality and long service life: The hydraulic dampers of the product family HB can also be used as single or double acting brake. Its coated body in a slim gas spring design and the piston rods with wear-resistant surface coating are features of high quality and long service life.
The maintenance free, ready-to-install and closed systems provide a constant feed rate and are adjustable, and the control segment on the piston makes adjustment at the end position child’s play. Thanks to many add-on components the assembly is easy to mount, so that the damper can be universally deployed for damping back and forth swinging masses, such as in power or free conveyors.
On automotive or industrial applications, mechanical engineering, medical technology or the electronics and furniture industry, these machine elements are found in a number of different areas.
