FORKARDT - Industrial shock absorbers SDC

General

Increased automation in all branches of industry has resulted in higher handling and working speeds. The resultant kinetic energy, however, rises with the square of the speed.

High kinetic energy can result in:

• damage
• destruction
• production stoppages
• repairs
• noise
• as weIl as costs
arising from these causes. Costs arising from uncontrolled kinetic energy can however be avoided.
FORKARDT industrial shock absorbers absorb kinetic energy and stop moving objects gently and reliably. The retardation forces are thereby reduced, and can be calculated.

FORKARDT has created an entirely new generation of shock absorbers, based on its wide experience in this field. The SDC series consists of “self adjusting“ shock absorbers which automatically compensate the effects of mass, speed and actuating force during the retardation process. SDC shock absorbers can achieve linear retardation with a constant retarding force under favourable loading conditions.

In practice this means:

• low retardation forces
• improved dynamic performance
• higher productivity
• simpler designs
• simpler controls
• noise reduction
• less power consumption
• greater economy
• cost reduction

With the SDC series FORKARDT offers an at present unsurpassed, comprehensive and high performance range of “self adjusting" industrial shock absorbers, i. e. a range of high grade, long lasting and yet low cost hydraulic dampers.

Advantages:
All series SDC
shock absorbers are:
• self adjusting
• universally applicable
• cost effective
and feature:
• high energy absorption
• high safety margins
• high reliability
• prolonged service
• metric dimensions
• product quality to traditionally high German standards

FORKARDT shock absorbers are outstandingly versatile, irrespective of whether it is necessary to arrest masses of a few
grammes or many tons, or whether they are used in laboratories or rolling mills.
