General

FORKARDT crane shock absorbers are suitable tor reliable braking of masses. They are more and more used instead of the conventional limit stops, the performance and operation of which are insufficient.

FORKARDT crane shock absorbers transform inte heat the kinetic energy, which becomes free on the impact of one or more masses. They are thereby in contrast te the traditional elastomere materials, which only store kinetic energies and release them as “repulsion“.

FORKARDT crane shock absorbers limit deceleration loads to a required minimum. They thus avoid er reduce damages, which can arise to uncontrolled kinetic energies.

FORKARDT crane shock absorbers are designed for all applications ranges of transport, storage and conveying technology. Preferably they are used as limit stops on shelf conveyor units, crane bridges and trolleys, container cranes, stripper cranes, pit - furnace cranes, radio - telescopes, hangar gates, transport carriages etc.

 

FORKARDT - crane shock absorbers offer many advantages, such as:

• low definable deceleration loads
• approximately constant deceleration power er linear deceleration
• reduction of stopping load on failures of control or operation errors
• protection of the accompanying operation personnel
• reduction of the risk of accidents

FORKARDT can offer a comprehensive crane shock absorber standard programme, such as:

1. single - acting crane shock absorbers - type SDKNE
2. double - acting crane shock absorbers - type SDKNZ

Particular advantages of the double - acting design:
• one shock absorber only is required for decelerating bilaterally moved masses
• one shock absorber is less expensive than two
• low construction length increases the effective surface in elevated storage racks.

The most comprehensive standard programme with many various sizes and possibilities of variation will not always be sufficient tor solving all shock absorbing problems. For this reason, we design and manufacture - in addition to the standard programme - special shock absorbers tor any uncommon purposes.
