Shock Absorbers
Fast assembly, safe installation
- Shock absorbers
Shock absorbers decelerate loads smoothly and securely using the least possible force and in the shortest time, enabling significantly higher cycle times in automated operations.
Some commonly used stopping devices such as springs, rubber buffers or dashpots actually increase shock loading instead of reducing it – they do not dissipate energy at a uniform rate.
For smooth dissipation of the kinetic energy we recommend the use of hydraulic
shock absorbers.
Pneumatic Division Europe - Origa shock absorbers convert the kinetic energy generated by the deceleration of the load into thermal energy.
Optimum operating conditions are achieved if the energy is dissipated almost uniformly, i.e. if the moving mass is brought to a halt in the shortest distance, in the shortest time and without sudden peak loads during the stroke.

Virtually all manufacturing processes involve movement of some kind. Any change in direction or stopping of a moving object requires the dissipation of kinetic energy, which can result in destructive shock forces being applied to the equipment.
Many common methods of absorbing kinetic energy such as springs, rubber buffers, dashpots and cylinder cushioning, can actually contribute to shock loading by not dissipating the energy at a uniform rate. The ideal solution is to linearly absorb the energy of the moving object. This can be achieved using ORIGA Shock Absorbers which provide uniform deceleration over the entire stroke length.
ORIGA Shock Absorbers eliminate shock loading by stopping moving loads smoothly and safely with the lowest possible force, in the shortest possible time.
