Profile Dampers
TS68-36

Compact size and smooth deceleration

Axial Soft Damping
Energy capacity 2,009 in-lbs/cycle
Stroke max. 1.42 inch

Energy absorption in a compact and uniform way: The TS (TUBUS soft) profile dampers are also manufactured from co-polyester elastomer. Due to the almost linear damping characteristic curve, the maintenance-free, ready-to-install components softly absorb the energy with minimum stress on the machine. Consistent damping is helped by the low temperature increase of the material during operation.

The TS product family impresses with maximum energy absorption within a range of 17.7 in-lbs to 8,549 in-lbs (2 Nm to 966 Nm) within a minimum height. The space-saving design has been implemented from Ø 0.55"" to Ø 4.21"" (Ø 14 mm to Ø 107 mm). The special screw supplied is used to simply and quickly secure the profile dampers in place.

Application Examples

Profile Dampers - TUBUS TS

Damping for offshore landing structures

The maintenance of wind turbines in open seas has long resulted in damage to maintenance boats. Because of impact velocity and swell, an increase in the boat's mass of up to 20 % must be taken into account when landing on a rigid mooring structure...

Profile Dampers - TUBUS TS

Protective structures for treadmill drives in space research

When training in zero gravity, a harness with bungee cords is used to ensure that trainees do not become disengaged. Three ACE profile dampers with a linear-working facility are utilized in this case. One TUBUS is positioned in the pneumatic cylin...

Application Areas

Linear slides
Pneumatic cylinders
Handling modules
Machines and plants
Swivel units
Electro-mechanical drives
Crane systems
Conveyor systems

Suitable for emergency stop and permanent applications, the cost-effective, durable TUBUS TS can be used as end position dampers in linear axes, in tool making and tool machines and in hydraulic, pneumatic and handling equipment.
