    Corrosion-Resistant Self-Adjusting Shock Absorbers

    Made from stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance in damp environments. Install shock absorbers in gantry systems, presses, and at stops along conveyors—they counteract the energy of moving objects to prevent damage to equipment and material. Use Mounting Blocks for Shock Absorbers (not included) and Mounting Nuts for Shock Absorbers (not included) for mounting.
