Guided rodless cylinder with shock
absorber
When specifying Hepco's HPS Powerslide-2 guided rodless cylinder system, surprisingly few designers consider the incusion of a shock absorber - until now.

Linear motion enables 3D prototyping in chocolate
ChocALM is a novel process that can produce a 3D object of any shape in chocolate from a computer design.
Screw jacks resist moisture and chemicals
The Z-series of screw jacks is available in a variety of sizes for lifting requirements up to 25kN and in four standard variants.
System life can be doubled or even trebled and operating speeds increased to enhance productivity.
It is to provide machine builders with these advantages as standard that Hepco is now supplying HPS Powerslides and SH Shock Absorbers as ready-to-mount packages.
The HPS Powerslide-2 is available in 10 sizes and combines Hepco's proven slide technology with an extensive range of high quality, pneumatic rodless cylinders.
The result is a lightweight prime mover which can take loads in any direction and perform well in harsh environments; corrosion resistant components are optionally available.
The SH shock absorbers are the ideal complement to this linear guidance system.
They ensure that energy is dissipated at a uniform rate and that moving objects are brought to rest far faster than by other damping methods.
The cushioning that the new HPS/SH combination provides, effectively prevents any impact forces damaging the internal elements of the pneumatic cylinder and reduces wear on the guide system itself.
It also reduces stress on associated parts such as fixings, ensures quieter operation and lessens design and fabrication costs.
Furthermore, as well as generally extending system life, HPS/SH provides a cost-effective method of machine protection in case of control system failure. Request a free brochure from HepcoMotion ...
