Miniature: up to 136 Nm

 ACE Miniature Shock Absorbers are maintenance free, self-contained hydraulic components. The model range MC 9 to MC 75 have a very short overall length and a low return force. The shock absorber is filled with a temperature stable oil and has an integrated positive stop. They are ideally suited for small, fast handling equipment, rotary actuators, pick and place mechanisms and similar small automation equipment. A wide choice of metering hardnesses enable these units to cover applications with effective weights ranging from 0.3 kg to 36 kg effective weight. The MC 30 M-Z model enables direct installation inside a pneumatic pressure chamber (up to 7 Bar), due to the innovative ACE stretch membrane.

The SC-Series provide dual performance benefits. They provide “soft contact” deceleration where initial impact reaction forces are very low with the advantages of self-compensation to cope with changing input energy conditions without adjustment. They have long stroke lengths to provide smooth deceleration and low reaction forces. They have an integral mechanical stop and are ideal for use on handling equipment, linear transfers, rodless cylinders and pneumatic pick and place systems etc. The overlapping operating ranges enable the SC Series to handle effective weights ranging 0.7 kg up to 2088 kg. With the optional side load adaptor fitted they can cope with side loads up to 25°. The SC series units are fully interchangeable with the adjustable MA range providing customer choice.
