Slowing down moving masses in a quick, safe and precise manner: RINGFEDER® Friction Springs are indispensable, mainenance-free safety components in all technology and industry sectors where suddenly occurring forces have to be taken up and kinetic energies must be absorbed, or when damping systems are required for enormous forces at relatively small dimensions – whether as customized special design or proven, readily available standard version. RINGFEDER® Friction Springs consist of precisely machined outer and inner rings which are assembled to complete spring columns according to the individual requirements of the user. These are 100% tested and loaded several times before delivery, which guarantees absolute functional reliability. Product Characteristics Your Benefits RINGFEDER® Friction Springs have a number of superior advantages compared to conventional damping solutions: High spring work at low weight and volume – As RINGFEDER® Friction Springs make full use of the spring material, dimensions and weight are reduced to a minimum. The decisive factor here is the spring work. High damping capability – The damping of the RINGFEDER® Friction Springs is 66% as standard, which means that the energy introduced is quickly absorbed and resonance effects are suppressed completely. Variations in damping between 33% and 66% are possible by using other lubricants specific to the customer and application. Spring work and damping effect independent from load speed – The force-stroke diagram of the RINGFEDER® Friction Springs applies for all operating conditions.
