Hydraulic shock absorbers offer energy capacities from 10 to 10 million in.-lb. They are designed as adjustable and non-adjustable. Standard nickel coating on Platinum series is compatible with washdown environments and provides corrosion resistance protection. Custom orifice technologies provide deceleration with efficient damping characteristics, resulting in low reaction forces. They decelerate loads moving at velocities up to 300 in./sec.
