197 catalog models are grouped into product families so you can narrow the suitable range faster.

Tunable deceleration

Adjustable Shock Absorbers

Tunable hydraulic shock absorbers for lines where payload, speed or mounting conditions change from one machine setup to the next.

45 models in catalog7 to 165 mm stroke7 to 7300 Nm/cycle
Fast deployment

Non-adjustable Shock Absorbers

Self-compensating shock absorbers for repeatable machine motion where quick installation and dependable daily operation matter more than manual tuning.

32 models in catalog6.4 to 150 mm stroke4 to 5650 Nm/cycle
High cycle life

Super Long Life Shock Absorbers

Long-life hydraulic shock absorbers for high-frequency equipment where uptime, repeatability and service interval planning directly affect output.

11 models in catalog4 to 19 mm stroke16 to 110 Nm/cycle
Extreme-duty protection

Heavy Duty Shock Absorbers

Heavy-duty hydraulic shock absorbers for crane travel, rail systems, stacker cranes and other severe impact conditions where energy absorption is safety-critical.

77 models in catalog50 to 1830 mm stroke3200 to 329300 Nm/cycle
Large-scale impact control

Heavy Industry Buffers

Industrial hydraulic buffer lines for large machines and transported structures where stopping envelope, mass and ruggedness are the first design constraints.

32 models in catalog50 to 1000 mm stroke3500 to 587000 Nm/cycle
Multi-axis isolation

Wire Rope Vibration Isolators

Wire rope isolators for equipment protection where shock resistance, vibration isolation and corrosion resistance need to work together.
