Small shock absorbers offer higher energy capacity

Rino Industries has launched a new range of innovative shock absorbers, branded Magnum, that are said to have a higher energy capacity in a smaller body size than competing units.

Rino Industries has launched a new range of innovative shock absorbers, branded Magnum, that are said to have a higher energy capacity in a smaller body size than competing units.

This has been achieved by increasing the size of the inner and metering-tube diameters which also increases the operating range of effective weights.

The units have a threaded outer body for easy mounting and are available in both adjustable and self-compensating versions.

An integral stop collar mechanically seals around the wiper-seal and rod, and they are said to have a superior length-to-diameter ratio for the rod bearing.

Shock-absorber adjustment has been made easier by offering two methods of adjustment.

The stop collar doubles as an adjuster with a second adjuster at the back of the unit for increased access.

A new rod-and-seal design with unsymmetrical U-cups protects the shock absorbers in dirty environments, and the latest seal technology is said to extend operating life.

Design Engineers can now select smaller shock absorbers for the same energy capacity with reductions in required space and cost.
