Overview
The Enertrols SNALD 600 shock absorber is a non-adjustable, self-compensating miniature unit engineered for industrial machinery requiring precise impact energy absorption and vibration control. This compact design converts kinetic energy into thermal energy through controlled linear deceleration, protecting equipment and extending service life.
Key Features
- Self-Compensating Design: Automatically adjusts to varying impact loads without manual tuning, ensuring consistent deceleration across the operating range.
- Wide Velocity Range: Handles 0.2–12.0 foot-per-second impact velocity, accommodating both low and high-speed applications.
- Miniature Form Factor: 0.97 inch stroke in a compact 3/4″ body diameter with 5/16″ shaft diameter for space-constrained installations.
- Sealed Hydraulic Construction: Delivers reliable, maintenance-free operation across a broad range of industrial machinery and equipment.
- Lightweight Design: 0.66 lbs weight simplifies installation and reduces mechanical load.
