Associated Spring RAYMOND's line of force and motion control products expands beyond gas struts (or gas springs), mechanical struts, and collection of dampers. In addition to those products, a line of high-quality shock absorbers is available.

Industrial shock absorbers from Associated Spring RAYMOND are hydraulic instruments that use oil to damp out shock impulses and decelerate mass. They work by changing kinetic energy into thermal energy and then radiate it out through the threads to redistribute without jolting the system.

Using 135 years of expertise in force and motion control, the line of shock absorbers is designed, tested, and approved for Associated Spring RAYMOND. Additionally, they are manufactured to a detailed specification to ensure engineering requirements for consistency and quality. Shock absorbers are the ideal solution for controlling motion within an application because of their ability to transfer energy and displace it effectively. Other damping products don't compare.

• Available using imperial and metric units of measurement
• Pre-engineered for quick prototyping

How are shock absorbers different?

Not to be confused with gas struts and dampers, shock absorbers are meant to stop a movement. If there is shaking, rattling, or vibrating, a shock absorber is needed, whereas gas struts provide a force assistance and dampers slows and controls a motion.
