The ACE hydraulic dampers are similar in appearance to our industrial gas springs but are adjusted in the end position and work differently to the DVC family with individual speed adjusters for the push and pull direction. This provides users with the maximum flexibility.
Whether used as drive compensation or safety element, the retraction and extension speed of these ACE solutions can always be precisely set. This means that the speed of movement can be controlled, synchronization regulated in both directions and pivoting loads can be compensated. Depending on the model, the push and pull forces are between 6.75 lb to 2,023 lb (30 N and 40,000 N). These maintenance-free, ready-to-install products are available in body diameters of 0.47 in to 2.75 in (12 mm to 70 mm) and in stroke lengths up to 31.50 in (800 mm).
Hydraulic Dampers from Ace Controls, Inc. Product Families
Hydraulic Dampers DVC-32 and DVC-2 to DVC-6: Multi-directional speed adjustment
Adjustable, Without Free Travel
Compression and extension force 9.44 lbs to 450 lbs
Stroke 2.00 in to 6.00 in
Separately regulated in any stroke position: The hydraulic dampers of the product family DVC-32 and DVC-2 to DVC-6 are the first dampers to provide precise, independent, external adjustment of in-and-out speeds. With their individual adjustments for the push and pull direction as well as the bi-directional action, these are suitable as safety or control elements.
The great number of mounting accessories makes assembly of these ACE hydraulic dampers easier and allows these maintenance-free, ready-to-install and self-contained systems universally applicable. Qualitatively high grade, and at the same time simple to use; one of their uses is to absorb swinging loads.
These velocity controllers are used in the automotive sector, automation and machine building as well as in the electronics industry.
Hydraulic Dampers HBD-15 to HBD-40:Regulation at the highest level
Adjustable
Compression and extension force 8 lbs to 2,248 lbs
Stroke 0.98 in to 31.5 in
ACE Controls HBD hydraulic dampers are maintenance-free, self-contained and sealed units. They are available with body diameters from 0.59““ to 1.57““ (15 mm to 40 mm) and with stroke lengths of up to 31.5““ (800 mm). Unlike standard hydraulic dampers that include free travel up to 20 % of stroke, these dependable units have no free travel and are ideal for applications that require this level of performance. Double-acting hydraulic dampers are standard. However, a single acting design is available. Adjustment is easily achieved by pulling and turning the rod until the desired damping speed is achieved. The travel speed is adjustable and remains constant throughout the stroke.
The single acting version is controllable in one direction only, with free-flow in the opposite direction. A built-in antilock guard allows adjustment to be made at any damping rate without unit lock up. These reliable units offer long life-cycle performance. A variety of end fittings are available for ease of operation and installation, and are included.
HBD hydraulic dampers are use for process control, machine guards, lids, hatches, fire safety doors, arms for medical equipment, conveyors, swinging loads, machine tools, lift gates, drill feed control, amusement park rides, and more.
Hydraulic Dampers HB-12 to HB-70:Linear motion control
Adjustable
Compression and extension force 4 lbs to 11,240 lbs
Stroke 0.98 in to 31.50 in
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 and piston rods with wear-resistant surface treatment 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. The control segment on the piston makes adjustment at the end position child’s play. Thanks to a broad selection of end fittings the assembly is easy to mount, so that the damper can be universally deployed for damping swinging masses, such as in power or free conveyors.
On automotive, automation and machine building, oil & gas, amusement, medical technology or the electronics and furniture industry, these machine elements are found in a number of different areas.
Hydraulic Dampers SOL-28 - Solar Dampers:Perfect replacement for Nextracker and OMCO fields
Linear motion control, non-Adjustable, progressive damping rate
Compression and extension force 2,230 lbs
Stroke 14.88“ and 15.00“
High quality and long service life: The hydraulic dampers of the SOL family can be used to provide support for minimizing the negative effects of weather anomalies (i.e. vortex shedding, wind galloping) to PV Solar Tracking systems. Its wear-resistant surface coating provides a long-lasting, high quality appearance. The heat-treated rod delivers exceptional performance and life expectancy.
Hydraulic Dampers MOD 28:Linear motion control
Non-adjustable, speed dependent
Compression and extension force 14 lbs to 2,252 lbs
Stroke 1.97 in to 11.81 in
High quality and long service life: The hydraulic dampers of the MOD family can be used as single or double acting brake. Its wear-resistant surface coating provides a long-lasting, high quality appearance. The heat-treated rod delivers exceptional perfromance and life expectancy.
The maintenance free, ready-to-install and closed systems provide a constant feed rate. Thanks to many add-on components the assembly is easy to mount. The damper can be mounted vertically for damping items such as doors, hatches and large masses.
