Automation control equipment manufacturer Ace Controls International (UK) introduces a new miniature shock absorber that is suitable for mounting in pneumatic cylinders and rotary actuators.The new MC 30M-Z fully threaded, shock absorber features Ace’s stretch seal design which prevents air from being ingested and oil from escaping in these high pressure applications and because it is a self-compensating unit it can handle changing energy conditions without the need for adjustment. With an overall length of 75mm, the three models available offer a weight range from 0.45 to 15kg, operating temperatures between 0 and 66C and all have an integral mechanical stop built-in. Application areas include small linear slides, material handling and packaging equipment, small robotics, medical equipment and instrumentation.
