Air Cylinders

Why Choose one of our Dashpots/Shock Absorbers over other Damping Devices?

Starting and running friction are almost identical which prevents jerky, uncontrolled starts.
They have a life span of multi-millions of cycles.
They are made of self lubricating materials.
No seals are required and tehre are no loquids to leak.
They are precise, accurate, and allow fine adjustments by hand at installation.

What is a Dashpot?

A Dashpot is a motion damping device that reduces velocity, vibration, and oscillation in dynamic mechanisms.

This is accomplished by using a piston to force ambient air through an orifice at a controlled rate to dissipate kinetic energy.

Stiction is the problem that causes air cylinders to stick at the start of the stroke - resulting in erratic breakaway motion. Technically it's the difference between static friction and moving friction when static friction is higher. Our Anti-Stiction Air Cylinders do away with any perceptible stiction and reduces running friction to exceedingly low levels. This gives them the unique ability to impart super smooth motion, smoother than any other air cylinder.
