Technical Details for the MA30EUM
The MA30EUM is a compact, adjustable miniature shock absorber designed by ACE for applications with low precision requirements. With a 3.5 Nm energy capacity per cycle and an 8 mm stroke, it offers soft damping characteristics and flexibility for a variety of applications. Ideal for use in handling modules, linear carriages, and situations with changing application data.
The MA30EUM provides stepless adjustment for tailored damping performance and is maintenance-free, with an integrated positive stop for reliable operation. Constructed with a nitride-hardened steel outer body and a steel piston rod featuring a black oxide finish or nitride hardening, it ensures durability. The damping medium is a temperature-stable oil, ensuring consistent performance even under varying conditions.
