Rotary damper
ACE

ACE's expanded line of compact rotary dampers promotes smooth mechanical motion that enhances functionality and provides that touch of quality. Additional benefits include increased operational safety and component life, as well as noise reduction.
Rotary dampers minimize kinetic energy by controlling velocity. Designs are available utilizing viscous shear, vane with orifice or piston types, in addition to a locking damper. Models are available as single or bidirectional, continuously rotating or single rotating. Other options include: with or without gears, latching or unlatching, and fixed or adjustable.
Selected applications for rotary dampers include: computer hardware, flip top cell phones, compact disc units, video cameras, tape players, automotive compartment panels, seats, aerospace and medical equipment, furniture, safety covers and machine guards.
