Vibration damper Airpot
2.2 - 133 N

Dashpot damping applications fall into one of the following generic categories: Velocity Control of Solenoids, Spring Loaded Mechanisms, Falling Mass, Creating Time Delay, Vibration Damping, Valve Damping, Limiting Overaction, or Cushioning Impact. At rest, the dashpot is a passive device and has no force output. In motion, the dashpot offers a resisting force which rises to equal the force of the input load, achieving a zero net force. This results in zero acceleration and constant velocity. Force limits of Airpot dashpots are determined by the direction of damping and the diameter of the piston. In pull damping units, a vacuum is being created in the dashpot as the piston moves outward. Thus, the maximum resisting force limit of the unit is a direct function of atmospheric pressure and the area of the piston (F=PA) Assuming an equal ambient pressure, larger diameter units will have force limits higher than smaller diameter units; the limits being directly proportional to their piston areas. In the push damping (compression) direction, air must be compressed into an ever decreasing space; the force can rise to a level which is higher than is possible in the pull damping direction. Precision Dashpots from Airpot are available in standard or custom designed configurations, depending on your application. Airpot dashpots unique combination of materials, combined with the precision of the parts and their close fits, provides ultra low friction, immediate response and long life without seals or lubricants, even under extreme temperatures, high speed operation, or long periods of non-use.
