TUBUS-Series Overview of Profi le Dampers Physical Properties of TUBUS Profile Dampers Energy Capacity per unit weight Operating Lifetime PUR Rubber Gummi TUBUS Energy Capacity per unit volume ACE TUBUS profile dampers are high performance damping elements made from a special Co-Polyester Elastomer.They have a high energy absorbing capacity compared with other materials. The TUBUS-series comprises main types with over individual models. The excellent damping characteristics are achieved as a result of the special elastomer material and the worldwide patented construction design. This enables us to change the characteristics of the elastomer material so that individual and distinct damping curves are possible. TUBUS dampers offer a considerable performance advantage when compared to other materials such as rubber, urethanes (PUR) and steel springs. A further advantage compared to other damping elements is the operating life expectancy up to twenty times longer than with urethane dampers, up to ten times longer than with rubber dampers and up to five times longer than with steel spring dampers. Force Comparison of Damping Characteristics TA TS TR/TR-L Stroke The innovative TUBUS dampers absorb energy while exhibiting the following damping characteristics: Model type TA: Degressive characteristic with max. energy absorption (coloured area) with min. stroke. Energy absorption: % to %. Model type TS: Almost linear characteristic with low reaction force over a short operating stroke. Energy absorption: % to %. Model type TR/TR-L: Progressive characteristic with gradually increasing reaction force over a long stroke. Energy absorption TR: 17 % to 3 % Energy absorption TR-L: 1 % to % Characteristics of dynamic energy absorption for impact velocity over. m/s. For impact velocities under. m/s, please request a static characteristic curve. The material does not absorb water or swell and it is highly resistant to abrasion. Products of the TUBUS-series will work at temperatures of - up to 9 and are resistant to grease, oil, petroleum fluids, microbe and chemical attack and sea water. They also have good UV and ozone resistance. The very long service life of up to one million cycles, the compact size and the low unit weight differentiate the TUBUS profile dampers from all other types of elastomer damping elements. If you are looking for an economic damping solution where the load does not need to be decelerated to an exact datum position and you do not need 1% absorption of the impact energy then TUBUS dampers are a real alternative to hydraulic end position damping. They are the preferred solution for end stop dampers in robotic systems, high bay warehouse systems and all similar automated plant and machinery. For the crane industry we manufacture special high capacity crane buffers that have an ideal deceleration characteristic with high return force for this type of application and energy capacities from to 1 7 Nm. This means you can have a TUBUS crane buffer capable of providing up to 9 kn of braking force in a package only weighing 3 kg and absorbing up to % of the energy. Special Damper Besides the standard product range of the TUBUS-series there are also a large number of special products available upon request for customer-specific applications.

TUBUS-Series Application Examples ACE TUBUS profile dampers protect the integrated loading station on a new high speed machining centre. The ACE TUBUS damper is designed to prevent overrun on the high speed loading station of a Camshaft machining centre used in the automobile industry. In the event that the drive train fails during operation or incorrect data is inputted the ACE TUBUS damper absorbs the impact preventing costly damage to the machine. The TA-9- TUBUS damper impressed engineers with this exceptionally long service life in operation. When used as an emergency stop the TUBUS damper can absorb up to 3 % of the impact energy. Safe end position damping Safety with ultra high speed operation Issue 9.7 Specifications subject to change Safe reliable cycling ACE TUBUS profile dampers prevent impact problems between the different directions of motion on a weigh feeder. The illustrated weigh feeder is a critical production component and must always function correctly. A previous history of machine damage caused by the crossing of different motions in operation was eliminated by the use of TUBUS type TA -1 profile dampers. Due to the copolyester construction of TUBUS dampers a degressive damping curve could be engineered to suit the application. The combination of superior damage protection, small size and economic cost made the TUBUS damper the ideal solution for this critical application. 7 Consistent, safe operation of a weigh feeder Stoßdämpfer GmbH PO Box 11 D-7 Langenfeld Tel. +9-173-9- Fax +9-173-9-9 E-Mail: info@acecontrols-int.com 7
Rotary Dampers ACE rotary dampers are sealed maintenance free units. They are available with fixed or adjustable damping rates. The damping can be clockwise, anticlockwise or in both directions. The outer body is either or metal depending upon model size. The output connection can be direct onto the keyed output shaft or indirect via a gear (available with standard modules). Plastic racks with modules of. to 1 are also available. Applications include office machinery, lids and flaps, floppy disc drives, piano lids, CD players, auto glove-boxes, vending machines, medical equipment, furniture industry and a multitude of other uses. Keyed Output Shaft Damping Vane Damping Orifice Pressure Chamber Outer Body Function: ACE rotary dampers guarantee the smooth controlled opening and closing of small lids, covers and flaps. They can be mounted directly on the pivot axis or can be used to provide linear damping by using a gear and rack. They enable mechanisms to operate with a smooth controlled motion giving that touch of quality to whatever product they are used on. ACE rotary dampers are filled with a special high viscosity fluid (silicone type) and sealed for life. The fluid is passed through an orifice or groove by a rotating vane to provide damping resistance. The damping torque generated is determined by the fluid viscosity and by the orifice configuration. Note: With a max. rotational speed of revs/min and a maximum of 1 cycles/min (1 cycles/min with the FDT/ FDN types) the rotary dampers still provide more than % of their damping torque after a working life of cycles.
