Automated machinery and manual designs alike must exhibit minimal vibration and should gently and precisely slow and moving masses on (or engaged with) the design. Our 2020 Design World Trends survey of industry experts indicates an uptick in new applications for shocks, damping, gas springs, and kinematic holding that were previously done manually or run […]

FAQ: Where and why are miniature hydraulic shock absorbers useful?
Recently, I sat down with our editorial director Paul Heney to explore how shock absorbers improve industrial and consumer designs for warehouse storage and retrieval; conveyor and steel-mill end stops; packaging and plastic-bottle machinery; and various robotic and crane setups. We reviewed three small hydraulic shock absorbers from ITT Enidine: Unlike vibration (those small oscillations from […]
Shock and vibration mitigation by design not by mistake
Design engineers and equipment operators often view shock absorbers and isolators as nonessential fixit elements to add to original equipment only if it shows vibration or shock problems. Here we debunk this and other common misconceptions. By Christopher Kudla, Product Manager | ITT Enidine Engineering design is always evolving. With its progress comes a need to […]
