Profile dampers Tubus Special

The ACE Controls Tubus series consists of high-performance dampers made from durable polyester elastomer, providing significantly better damping than traditional rubber buffers. The Tubus Special product group is specially developed for different types of press tools in the automotive industry. With proper sizing, Tubus dampers can absorb up to 70% of the kinetic energy, making them an effective and reliable choice for many applications. The unique material properties of polyester elastomer combine flexibility, strength, and wear resistance, making Tubus dampers a long-term solution for many industrial needs. Rubber buffers are more commonly used for emergency stops rather than continuous operation because they do not provide an exact stop position like hydraulic shock absorbers, and they exhibit some rebound since they do not absorb all the movement energy. They are a more cost-effective alternative to traditional shock absorbers and are easier to integrate into different systems. Unlike mechanical shock absorbers, which usually contain hydraulics or gas and may require adjustment or maintenance, rubber buffers are completely solid and have no moving parts, making them robust and virtually maintenance-free.

Robust and durable – ideal for demanding environments

Tubus dampers are made of a resistant material that withstands stresses such as saltwater, large temperature variations, and UV radiation, making them ideal for outdoor and harsh industrial environments where other materials would quickly wear out. The elastic properties of the material allow rubber buffers to effectively absorb shocks and vibrations, providing a simple but efficient damping solution in situations where precise control of movement energy is not critical. Additionally, Tubus dampers are very compact and lightweight, making them perfect for installation in tight spaces where space is limited but high damping capacity is still required. They are particularly suitable in environments where cost and ease of installation are prioritized over high precision or adjustability.

Better damping than traditional rubber buffers

A conventional rubber buffer can often be insufficient in terms of energy absorption and durability. Tubus dampers offer significantly better performance and, with their high energy absorption, can improve both machine function and the work environment by reducing noise and vibrations. Tubus dampers are ideal for applications where the load does not need to stop at an exact point but where high quality and reliable damping are essential.

Simple installation and maintenance-free operation

Installing Tubus dampers is straightforward and done easily with a single screw, saving time and simplifying maintenance. Since the material is durable and maintenance-free, no regular inspections or replacements are required, reducing downtime and costs over time.

Safety function – Tubus as emergency stop damper

In addition to their damping properties, Tubus dampers can also be used as safety dampers for emergency stops. If control systems or other safety functions fail, Tubus can act as a final protective barrier, reducing the risk of serious damage to machinery and personnel. Installing Tubus as part of your safety solution is strongly recommended to prevent accidents during unexpected or uncontrolled stops.
