A Low-Energy Shock Absorber for Slow, Light, Fragile Loads

Series RJ

Confronted by low energy applications for small conveyance equipment such as our MY3B rodless, MXP slides and MSQ rotaries in which the RB shock is too resistant for optimal damping? SMC introduces the new soft type RJ shock absorber. RJ is optimized for speeds below 2m/s and masses below 40 kg. Compared to our higher-energy RB, RJ offers 25% less resistance and up to a 30% shorter stroke duration. The design also offers improved durability, extending life to 3 million cycles! The design features a pre-load generator and a synthetic rubber accumulator that work together to ensure a constant supply of damping oil throughout the shock’s useful life. Also, a patented spiral groove replaces the common fixed orifice mechanism to smooth the damping curve. If you have a fragile load that is sensitive to pulsing during the damping stroke, RJ offers your desired solution.
