Ace Controls International has introduced a range of miniature 'high-cycle' shock absorbers to suit the requirements of high-speed assembly and production machines. Three self-compensating models are offered, providing rapid time-through-stroke and repeat-strokes, with effective weights from 2 to 6,350kg. The short stroke and quick rod-ready time of these units gives faster cycling performance - much sought by manufacturers of high-speed packaging and pick-and-place machines.
