Technical Details for the VS-BALR
The VS-BALR viscoelastic shock absorbers from ACE Controls offer energy capacities from 100,000 Nm to 400,000 Nm per cycle and strokes from 400 mm to 850 mm. Utilising hydrostatic compression principles, they combine the functions of shock absorbers and a spring for high damping efficiency, minimal sensitivity to temperature changes, and enhanced safety through integrated static preload. Ideal for heavy industry, they are widely used in material handling, rolling mills, defence, waterways, and paper production
