How to Use Shock Absorber Selection Curves
What catalog selection curves mean and how they support model or adjustment-setting checks.
Réponse directe
Selection curves compare impact velocity with total energy for a model or adjustment setting. A point outside the allowed curve means the absorber may be overloaded; for adjustable models, the usable setting range is limited by the impact velocity and damping curve.

Étapes de calcul
- 1
Locate impact velocity
Find the velocity value on the model or setting curve.
- 2
Locate total energy
Find the calculated total energy per cycle and compare it with the curve boundary.
- 3
Stay inside the curve
Choose a model or adjustment range where the velocity-energy point sits inside the safe operating envelope.

Notes source catalogue
- The full product catalog p.18 explains adjustable setting range by shock velocity and damping curves; p.28, p.29 and p.34 show EN selection curves using total energy and impact velocity.
