Rotary dampers provide controlled closing rates

Ondrives' bidirectional rotary dampers are supplied with the company's gears as standard.

Rotary dampers are one of the linear motion ranges available from mechanical drive components specialist, Ondrives.

Bidirectional rotary dampers have damping action in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.

They are supplied as standard with gears, but are available without gears on request.

They have a maximum speed of 50rev/min, and operating temperature varies between 0C to 50C.

Other dampers in the range are also uni-directional so customers are free to choose whatever suits their requirements.

Other dampers in the range include another bidirectional FRXA version, which is a vane-operated damper giving high damping torque for a limited rotation angle.

Although it was originally designed to control the closure rates on toilet seats, it has since been found to extremely useful in many other applications.

The FYN-K1 is another vane-operated damper but gives high damping torque for a specific rotational angle.

The reverse lock on the FRL damper is used to hold a door or mechanism in either an open or closed position.

The locking point is infinitely variable without adjustment and can be used with a rotary damper to give both a lock and controlled closure rate.

Other applications include furniture doors on access panels and piano keys or desk lids.

Two different types of adjustable rotary dampers complete the range and are available in bidirectional, left or right hand formats.
