ACE Controls, a leading supplier of deceleration and motion controls, has launched a suite of engineering tools related to industrial shock absorbers, vibration control, gas shock size and safety. These tools are part of a new ACE Controls website relaunch.
The site’s calculation program makes sizing ACE product easy. By entering some basic technical information into the calculator, engineers can select the right vibration control, shock absorber or gas spring for their application. Engineers can also calculate shock absorber safety levels by entering the direction of movement, type of application and technical specifications. More after the jump.

In addition to the calculation program, the new site has several other helpful engineering resources. Users can access informational videos with tips, tutorials and demonstrations relating to ACE products. Also available on the website is ACE’s VibroChecker application software, an easy and efficient way to measure vibration. The site also includes an extensive library of CAD models and product catalogues.
Visit the new website at www.acecontrols.com or call ACE at (800) 521-3320.

Motion systems application examples: Shock + vibration-damping components
Edited by Mary C. Gannon, Senior Editor
Shock and vibration-damping components are as varied as the designs in which they work. That ranges from heavy-duty machine tools to delicate designs that assemble semiconductor components. Addressing these oscillations lets machines run faster, for more throughput and higher-quality (more accurate) moves.
For example, the automotive manufacturing and packaging industries make copious use of mid-bore and smaller-bore hydraulic dampers.
Consider how bottle-blowing machine builders use adjustable shock absorbers instead of rubber bumpers or springs to increase glass and plastic bottle production. The shock absorbers protect the bottle’s neck and opening against stress fracture during manufacturing, even in hot and dirty environments.
The shock absorbers in this application sport reinforced bodies to withstand more energy per second as well as Teflon-coated piston rings and piston rod seals formulated to withstand heat …
