About Selecting Shock Absorbers
To select the best shock absorber for your application, you need to find the energy capacity your application requires. Use this formula to calculate the energy capacity required to stop a horizontal-moving load. For example, if you have a 250-lb. load moving at 25 inches per second, your calculation is (250 lbs. ÷ 772) × 252 = 202.4 in.-lbs. energy capacity.
Note: Choose a shock absorber with a higher energy capacity than you calculated. Factors such as driving force or an inclined surface will increase the energy capacity required.
Energy Capacity (in.-lbs.) = (Weight, lbs./772) × Velocity2 (in. per second)
Adjustable Air Springs
Isolate vibration and absorb shock from moving equipment, even with changing loads. Also for leveling and lifting, use compressed air to adjust air springs to the height and force required for your application. They’re often used with vibratory screen and conveyors; loading and transfer stations; and sensitive testing and measuring equipment. Do not extend beyond height at full stroke.

Light Duty Adjustable Shock Absorbers
Also known as snubbers, use these shock absorbers in low-load, high-cycle applications. They counteract the energy of moving objects to prevent damage to equipment and material. Turn the knob to change deceleration to suit varying loads and speeds. Through-wall shock absorbers have a stud and nut under the removable knob for mounting through a panel or bracket.

Adjustable Extreme-Force Bolt-Down
Vibration-Damping Mounts with Threaded Hole
Connect these mounts to your air supply for vibration and shock isolation in compression load applications. They handle the high impact of equipment such as punch presses, blowers, forging hammers, shakers, vibrators, and air compressors. Use the holes in the base to bolt down these mounts to keep your equipment stationary. Neoprene rubber has good resistance to oil and gasoline. You can add or release air for leveling (±1/4" adjustment).
