Theory of Energy Absorption ITT Enidine Inc. Overview Theory of Energy Absorption As companies strive to increase productivity by operating machinery at higher speeds, often the results are increased noise, damage to machinery/products, and excessive vibration. At the same time, safety and machine reliability are decreased. A variety of products are commonly used to solve these problems. However, they vary greatly in effectiveness and operation. Typical products used include rubber bumpers, springs, cylinder cushions and shock absorbers. The following illustrations compare how the most...

Theory of Energy Absorption ITT Enidine Inc. Overview Shock Absorber Performance When Weight or Impact Velocity Vary When conditions change from the original calculated data or actual input, a shock absorber’s performance can be greatly affected, causing failure or degradation of performance. Variations in input conditions after a shock absorber has been installed can cause internal damage, or at the very least, can result in unwanted damping performance. Variations in weight or impact velocity can be seen by examining the following energy curves: This is explained by observing the...

Shock Absorber Sizing Examples Typical Shock Absorber Applications Shock Absorber Sizing Examples Overview SHOCK ABSORBER SIZING RATE CONTROL SIZING Follow the next six steps to manually size Enidine shock absorbers: STEP 1: Identify the following parameters. These must be known for all energy absorption calculations. Variations or additional information may be required in some cases. A. Weight of the load to be stopped (lbs.)(Kg). B. Velocity of the load upon impact with the shock absorber (in./sec.)(m/s). C. External (propelling) forces acting on the load (lbs.)(N), if any. D. Cyclic...
