About Selecting Shock Absorbers
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)
Self-Adjusting Shock Absorbers
Accommodate changing loads and energy without manual adjustment. Shock absorbers counteract the energy of moving objects to prevent damage to equipment and material. They're often used in gantry systems, presses, and at stops along conveyors. Mounting nuts are included. Mounting Blocks for Shock Absorbers are sold separately.
Nylon and urethane rubber bumpers are nonmarring.

Adjustable Shock Absorbers
Turn the knob on these shock absorbers to change deceleration to suit varying loads and speeds. They counteract the energy of moving objects to prevent damage to equipment and material. They're commonly used in gantry systems, presses, and conveyor stops. Threaded-body shock absorbers include mounting nut. Mounting Blocks for Shock Absorbers are sold separately.
Nylon and urethane rubber bumpers are nonmarring.
