Heavy Duty Shock Absorbers

HD/HDA Series  -  Enidine Heavy Duty Series (HD/HDA) large-bore hydraulic shock absorbers protect equipment from large impacts in applications such as automated storage and retrieval systems, as well as overhead bridge and trolley cranes. They are available in a wide variety of stroke lengths and damping characteristics to increase equipment life and meet stringent deceleration requirements. HD Series Custom-orificed design accommodates specified damping requirements. Computer generated output performance simulation is used to optimize the orifice configuration. Available in standard bore dimensions of up to 6 in. (150mm)and strokes over 60 in. (1525mm).HDA Series Adjustable units enable the user to modify shock absorber resistance to accommodate load velocity variations, with strokes up to 12in. (305mm). Standard adjustable configurations available. Special bore sizes and strokes for both HD and HDA Series models are available upon request.

Heavy Industry Buffers

HI Series  -  Enidine’s Heavy Industry (HI) Series buffers safely protect heavy machinery and equipment during the transfer of materials and movement of products. The large-bore, high-capacity buffers are individually designed to decelerate moving loads under various conditions and in compliance with industry mandated safety standards. Control of bridge cranes, trolley platforms, large container transfer and transportation safety stops are typical installations. Industry-proven design technologies, coupled with the experience of a globally installed product base, ensure deliverable performance that exceeds customer expectations. The oversize bore area results in optimal energy absorption capabilities and increased internal safety factors. State-of-the-art testing facilities ensure integrity of design and product performance.

Industrial Shock Absorber

Jarret Series  -  The design of Jarret Industrial Shock Absorber utilizes the unique compression and shear characteristics of specially formulated silicone elastomers. These characteristics allow the energy absorption and return spring functions to be combined into a single unit without the need for an additional gas or mechanical spring stroke return mechanism.

Rate Controls

Enidine Rate Controls are designed to regulate the speed and time required for a mechanism to move from one position to another. Adjustable and non-adjustable models are available to accommodate a wide variety of motion control applications. Both single and double acting hydraulic damper designs allow smooth, controllable machine operation by providing rate control for both linear and rotational (hinged) loads. Each product family offers a variety of stroke lengths from which to choose. Adjustable, Double Acting (ADA500 and ADA700 Series) rate controls regulate speed in both tension and/or compression modes independently. ADA products let the user adjust the rate to suit specific application requirements. Fixed orifice interchangeable cartridges are available for the ADA 500 Series, which provide tamperproof operation once the desired rate has been determined. An optional remote adjustment cable provides adjustment control in otherwise inaccessible locations for the ADA 500 Series. The DA Series are non-adjustable, custom-orifice at factory, double acting rate controls which provide smooth, reliable motion control for high load capacities. Tow Bar (TB) snubbers are specially designed DA’s which dampen the abrupt starts and stops of power and free conveying systems.

Wire Rope Isolators

Standard Wire Rope Isolators are comprised of stainless steel stranded cable threaded through aluminum alloy retaining bars that are mounted for effective shock and vibration isolation. With their corrosion resistant, all-metal construction, Enidine Wire Rope Isolators are environmentally stable, high-performance shock and vibration isolators that are unaffected by temperature extremes, chemicals, oils, ozone and abrasives. Featuring a patented crimping pattern, versatile mounting options and a variety of sizes, these helical isolator products can help ensure that your systems can effectively meet performance requirements in Commercial, Industrial, and Defense industries.

For the best in vibration isolation capabilities, choose Enidine’s Compact Wire Rope Isolators. Smaller than traditional wire ropes, these unique isolators provide cost-effective, simultaneous shock and vibration attenuation where package space is at a premium. Enidine Compact Wire Rope Isolators feature an easy, single-point installation, which allows them to be installed in virtually any application. Their small size also permits the isolation of individual system components, making them ideal for use in sensitive equipment and electronics. Just as with our standard Enidine Wire Rope Isolators, Enidine Compact Wire Rope Isolators feature a patented, all-metal design and components that ensure maximum reliability, regardless of temperature or substrate requirement, and that can help meet MILSPECS similar to those of our Wire Rope Isolator series

The HERM isolator incorporates the use of a traditional Enidine helical wire rope isolator encased in a proprietary elastomeric compound. The stainless steel cable of the mount provides for a rugged construction, while the elastomer provides additional damping and stiffness. This unique design results in a fail safe mount with a higher stiffness and energy absorption capacity. The mount is readily scalable and performance easily tuned by varying the wire diameter, loop size, number of loops and elastomeric properties. The HERM isolator has proven particularly strong in low natural frequency “soft deck” applications of 12-16 Hz, reducing output G’s to below 15G’s. Its sealed nature of construction also provides for easy NBC washdown. Since the mounting size of the HERM isolator is virtually identical to that of standard wire rope isolators used in many shipboard applications, equipment upgrades are both simple and seamless with drop-in replacement capability.

WEAR™ (Wire Energy Absorbing Rope)

WEAR™ pipe restraints are uniquely packaged wire rope isolators designed to protect structures from steady state vibration and isolate them from seismic and dynamic loads. These new generation energy absorbing restraints feature simple construction. There are no oils, seals or complex moving parts required to perform their function. The design has eliminated the problems often associated with hydraulic or mechanical restraints which are complex and prone to failure.

Viscous Dampers & Governors

Rotary Viscous Dampers provide smooth control in applications that require continuous or intermittent positioning, forward, reverse and fixed path motion. The RVD design combines low breakout friction with viscous damping to control bi-directional rotary motion in numerous applications.

Rotary Viscous Damper (924kB)

The Viscous Speed Governor’s controls rotation of shafts and hinged loads by using silicone-based viscous shearing technology. An inner rotor is surrounded by silicone fluid within the stationary housing. As the shaft rotates, the inner rotor shears the silicone fluid providing resistance and smooth motion.
