What are the benefits of using WDS industrial shock absorbers?

Increased productivity through raised machine speeds, smoother operation and operator comfort.

Smooth deceleration of moving parts leading to reduced wear, lower noise and extended equipment life.
Reduced maintenance, vibration and noise with benefits to health, safety and the working environment.
WDS Industrial Shock Absorbers are maintenance free hydraulic deceleration devices, sealed for life.

Shock Absorbers are commonplace in industrial equipment where objects or components need to be decelerated or change direction. The kinetic energy in a moving body should be controlled and dissipated to avoid damage and wear to the equipment or excessive noise pollution. There are many device types to counter these issues but none can match the energy absorption characteristics of the hydraulic shock absorber when matched to the application.

What is the difference between an adjustable and self compensating shock absorber

Choosing the most appropriate shock absorber depends on how predictable is the velocity, mass, propelling force and frequency of the object to be decelerated. Adjustable shock absorbers are ideal for situations where these factors remain constant as they can be set to match the Effective Mass (me) thus minimising any spike reaction force. Conversely, Self-compensating shock absorbers will function within a range of Effective Mass (me). There are selection options for high, medium and low speed applications but no other adjustment is required for changes in mass, velocity or propelling force.

Installation and Mounting

Physical stop

WDS advise the use of a physical stop for the load, usually set at 90-95% of the shock absorber stroke. This will prevent shock absorber damage caused by bottoming and provide a final rest position for the load.

Mounting

WDS shock absorbers are all supplied with two locknuts to facilitate secure mounting to the application. Take care when designing the mounting arrangement to adequately support across the shock absorber piston centreline to avoid repeated bending or possible fatigue failure of the mount.

Cushion Caps

WDS shock absorbers are supplied with urethane rubber cushion caps installed as standard. The cap can be simply removed by pulling with suitable hand tools or in the case of a metal supported cap the application of heat to the cap support will ease removal with hand tools.

Painting and Covering

Due to the heat generated and the need to dissipate heat to atmosphere the shock absorber should never be painted or covered which would prevent heat loss.

In Parallel and Centre

Always install shock absorbers as close as possible to the centre of the load to be decelerated. Only mount shock absorbers of the same rating and stroke in parallel and always evenly spaced to spread the load.

Why our shock absorbers superior to other deceleration or damping technologies?

When considering deceleration technologies, shock absorbers emerge as a superior choice compared to alternatives such as dashpots, springs, rubber stops, and pneumatic devices. Dashpots, with their single unmetered orifice, introduce high shock loads to the machine upon initial impact, potentially causing stress and damage. Springs and rubber stops transfer loads to the machine and store energy, leading to undesirable rebounds. Pneumatic devices exhibit sharply increasing force profiles and store energy, which can result in rebound effects as well. In contrast, industrial shock absorbers leverage the viscosity of hydraulic oil passing through small orifices to generate motion resistance. This approach efficiently converts energy into heat, which is then dissipated into the atmosphere, preventing rebounds and minimizing impact stress. The outcome is heightened efficiency and reduced noise, making shock absorbers the optimal choice for controlled deceleration and enhanced machine performance.

Materials

Steel is a highly versatile and durable material that offers numerous benefits in various industries. One of the key advantages of steel is its exceptional strength, making it suitable for applications requiring structural integrity, such as in construction and engineering projects. Moreover, steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to withstand harsh environments and maintain its integrity over time. Additionally, steel is a sustainable choice as it is 100% recyclable, reducing the need for new production and minimizing environmental impact. The versatility of steel is evident in its ability to be fabricated into different shapes and sizes, enabling its use in a wide range of applications. Whether it's used in automotive manufacturing, infrastructure development, or everyday household items, steel's reliability and durability make it an ideal material choice.
