Editorial
Dear Reader,
This catalogue presents all aspects of damping and deceleration methods you need to reduce
harmful and destructive energies effectively. ACE offers coordinated deceleration systems that help
you to attain increased productivity, longer service life, greater power and speeds for your drives,
motors, or systems.
ACE maintains its position as the Market Leader in motion control technology and sets the trend 3
towards smaller and higher performance control components.
Please note the ”A” of ACE throughout the catalogue. It will point out advantages,
characteristics and new products which we consider important for you.

Shock Absorber Function
Virtually all manufacturing processes involve movement of some kind.
In production machinery this can involve linear transfers, rotary index
motions, fast feeds etc. At some point these motions change direction
or come to a stop.
Any moving object possesses kinetic energy as a result of its motion and
if the object changes direction or is brought to rest, the dissipation of this
kinetic energy can result in destructive shock forces within the structural 9
and operating parts of the machine.
Kinetic energy increases as the square of the speed and the heavier the
object, or the faster it travels, the more energy it has. An increase in pro-
duction rates is only possible by dissipating this kinetic energy smoothly
and thereby eliminating destructive deceleration forces.
Older methods of energy absorption such as rubber buffers, springs,
hydraulic dashpots and cylinder cushions do not provide this required
smooth deceleration characteristic – they are non linear and produce
high peak forces at some point during their stroke.
The optimum solution is achieved by an ACE industrial shock absorber.
This utilises a series of metering orifices spaced throughout its stroke
length and provides a constant linear decelerationwith the lowest
possible reaction force in the shortest stopping time.

characteristic towards the end of the stroke. The majority of the energy is
absorbed near the end of the stroke.

by a constant resisting force throughout the entire shock absorber stroke.
The load is decelerated with the lowest possible force in the shortest
possible time eliminating damaging force peaks and shock damage
to machines and equipment. This is a linear deceleration force stroke
curve and is the curve provided by ACE industrial shock absorbers.
In addition they considerably reduce noise pollution.
