CE-Type / Crash Element

Deformation Tube / COMPENSER®

With the CE-Type, LEBEN provides a maintenance-free deformation tube (so-called crash element) for emergency use, e.g. as fall protection.

Industrial Deformation Tube

The COMPENSER® of the CE-series is a non-reversible maintenance-free shock reducing element which can be used for emergency use, for example as a fall protection. If necessary, several deformation tubes (so-called crash element) can be installed in parallel as end stops.

Applications:

Heavy equipment | STC | Engineering | HRL | Storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) equipment | Crashtest | non reversible | Flight simulator | Special construction | Automated storage and retrieval system | Special machines | Leakage-free | Conveyor system | Actuator | Shuttle | Storage technology | Test device | Automation | Small parts warehouse | Heavy duty | High-bay warehouse
  • installation position: any
  • energy absorption is possible in pull direction & in push direction
  • very short design
  • high buckling safety
  • maintenance-free
  • non-leaking
  • rear flange
  • surface galvanized or painted
  • variable progression of the reaction force over the stroke possible, e.g. optionally constant reaction force over the entire stroke, increasing reaction force in the beginning stroke range, or staggered progression
  • extreme temperature ranges
  • energy absorption up to 700 kNm

The crash element is attached to the support structure using the flange 3. In the event of an impact, the stamp (acting as a mandrel) 1 enters the deformation tube 2 and expands it by up to 20 %. The initiated energy is converted into deformation energy and by means of friction into heat energy. The combination of deformation and friction determines the reaction force level. 

The maintenance-free CE-series crash element is a cost-effective irreversible shock reducing element for emergency use. However, it can only be used for a one off impact, e.g. as a fall protection.
If necessary, many crash elements can be provided in parallel.
