This shock absorber from Festo stops fast-moving loads without causing a rebound or transmission of possibly damaging shocks to equipment. It features self-adjusting cushioning with a 10mm length to reduce the internal impact force of the rod and to limit vibrations moving to the rest of the machine. The housing and rod are made of high-alloy steel for reliable strength and long-lasting performance. This device will prevent damage from impact and extend the life of your pneumatic system.

• Stroke size of 10mm for versatile use
• Maximum impact speed of 3m per second allows for powerful impact absorption
• Accommodates single-action pneumatic systems with single ports

• Robotics industry
• Agriculture
• Manufacturing assembly lines

Pneumatic systems use gas or air pressure to force the movement of a rod and piston, generating motion. A hydraulic system uses water or fluids instead of gas to achieve the same outcome. Hydraulic systems can generally accommodate greater forces, but because gasses are cleaner, pneumatic systems are often preferred where power can be sacrificed in favour of lower maintenance needs and greater durability.
