Technical Details for the VS-BXLR


The VS-BXLR viscoelastic shock absorbers from ACE Controls offer energy capacities from 6,000 Nm to 100,000 Nm per cycle and strokes from 150 mm to 400 mm. Utilising hydrostatic compression principles, they combine the functions of shock absorbers and a spring for high damping efficiency, minimal sensitivity to temperature changes, and enhanced safety through integrated static preload. Ideal for heavy industry, they are widely used in material handling, rolling mills, defence, waterways, and paper production
