DC-Type / Double-Acting Shock Absorber

Gas Hydraulic Industrial Buffer / COMPENSER®

With the DC-Type (double-acting buffer) LEBEN provides a very space-saving hydraulic industrial shock absorber for various applications.

Double-Acting Industrial Shock Absorber

The COMPENSER® of the DC-series is an ideal hydraulic shock reducing element especially for the application field of storage technology (storage and retrieval machines). As a double-acting buffer, this industrial shock absorber can be used in a space-saving manner due to its design and can be actuated alternately from both sides. The constructive design and function corresponds to the C-Type. Furthermore, due to its low reset force, it can easily be pressed in at creep speed during operation. As optional equipment PU caps as inserts for the impact cap for the reduction of impact noise and a monitoring of the piston rod‘s position (by either magnetic or inductive sensors) are available. If only a slight increase of reset force of the piston rod over the entire stroke is desired, an additional external accumulator can be fitted to the cylinder to increase the gas volume of the gas spring. Hence the reset force decreases in retracted state. Maintenance and simple repairs can be carried out on-site by the customer’s own staff due to the modular design of this damper.

Applications:

  • installation position: horizontal
  • low reset force
  • space saving, double-acting shock reducing element
  • high buckling safety
  • surface: housing galvanized (standard) or painted, piston rod hard chrome-plated (standard)
  • low-viscosity COMPENSOL®
  • foot mounting or flange mounting
  • optionally constant reaction force over the entire stroke or increasing reaction force in the beginning stroke range
  • very short activation time after impact
  • temperature range -40 to +80 °C
  • energy absorption up to 240 kNm
