selection curve explanation

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. 1

    Locate impact velocity

    Find the velocity value on the model or setting curve.

  2. 2

    Locate total energy

    Find the calculated total energy per cycle and compare it with the curve boundary.

  3. 3

    Stay inside the curve

    Choose a model or adjustment range where the velocity-energy point sits inside the safe operating envelope.

Erreurs fréquentes

  • Reading only energy and ignoring velocity.
  • Using an adjustment setting beyond the velocity limit.
  • Using selection curves as a replacement for energy-per-hour checks.

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.
