Shock absorbers for extreme-operating
conditions
SKF Engineering Products has released the innovative Perret range of shock absorbers that are able to operate reliably in high temperatures of up to 180C.

SKF Economos' new seals can be quickly and simply found with standard metal detection equipment should any small pieces fall into the product being processed.
The progressive and linear series are available with strokes of between 8 to 50mm and threads M10 to M36.
A further range of adjustable shock absorbers, with strokes of 12 to 50mm and threads M14 to M36, can be adjusted for progressive or linear use.
The capacity of the Perret units to absorb loads provides an extended lifetime in both extreme-operating conditions and under normal running.
Furthermore, Perret shock absorbers allow a load to be braked with minimum resistance effort and with a linear deceleration speed, whilst providing an increasing braking force in order to protect fragile loads.
They are suitable for most applications, where mechanical energy has to be absorbed in a short stroke distance.
Such applications include materials handling, paper and packaging and robotics.
Options include steel, nylon or polyurethane buffers and a stop to control the damping stroke, which can be screwed onto the external thread of the shock absorber.
A further option is a slide plate that can be fixed to the mass being braked.
This allows the shock absorber to withstand an impact even under a sliding force with a slope of up to 15C to its axis. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
