To select the best shock absorber for your application, you need to find the energy capacity your application requires. Use this formula to calculate the energy capacity required to stop a horizontal-moving load. For example, if you have a 250-lb. load moving at 25 inches per second, your calculation is (250 lbs. ÷ 772) × 252 = 202.4 in.-lbs. energy capacity.
Note: Choose a shock absorber with a higher energy capacity than you calculated. Factors such as driving force or an inclined surface will increase the energy capacity required.
Energy Capacity (in.-lbs.) = (Weight, lbs./772) × Velocity2 (in. per second)
Also known as snubbers, use these shock absorbers in low-load, high-cycle applications. They counteract the energy of moving objects to prevent damage to equipment and material. Turn the knob to change deceleration to suit varying loads and speeds. Through-wall shock absorbers have a stud and nut under the removable knob for mounting through a panel or bracket.
