Sub-zero performance from Ace

06 October 2011

If your application demands deceleration at extreme sub-zero temperatures, Ace Controls International’s new Magnum 45M-LT (Low Temp) Series industrial shock absorbers will do the job. The 45M-LT Series will continue to decelerate loads, prevent impact damage, reduce noise and improve product performance at temperatures down to -50°C. The fluorosilicone accumulator and MIL5606 fluid help guarantee dependable operation in the coldest environments.

The new shock absorbers, which are either adjustable or self-adjusting, are available with an external thread of M45 x 1.5, and can absorb energy in the range of 340Nm to 1,170Nm.

It is expected that the main market sectors for this product will be in defence applications where many vehicles, rocket launches, drone launch mechanisms and naval equipment are sometimes expected to work at extremes of temperature. In addition, other applications include refrigeration handling plants, particularly with frozen goods and food handling, and oil and gas operations in more unusual locations like the Arctic.
