Shock Absorbers
Parker shock absorbers can help increase production, extend machine life and reduce energy costs. They are available in two different types, non-adjustable and self compensating. They assist in bringing a moving load to rest, quickly and safely, without rebound or backward movement. Shock absorbers convert the kinetic energy generated by the deceleration of the load into thermal energy. Optimum operating conditions are achieved if the energy is dissipated almost uniformly. Self compensating shock absorbers decelerate movement smoothly while requiring no adjustment. These versatile performers offer wide effective weight ranges for handling a wider range of applications and increased velocities.

Actuator Accessories – Shock Absorbers
Adjustable shock absorbers have a multiple-orifice design principle that includes a series of orifices machined along the length of a fixed inner tube. The inner tube rotates upon adjustment, allowing for easy product selection and design flexibility.
- Effective Weight Ranges up to 450,000 lbs.
- Stroke Ranges up to 16”
- Multiple Mounting Options
- Side Load Adapters Available
Using shock absorbers can help increase production, extend machine life, and reduce energy costs.
Adjustable Type Multi-orifice Model:AS-06
The Dyna-Softer AS-06 series is a shock absorber that can process up to 353J of absorbed energy. Since it is a variable orifice type, it can be easily adjusted according to changes in collision load energy by operating the adjustment dial. There are 2 types of strokes, and the mounting style can be selected from front flange, rear flange, and clevis type.
