TUBUS-Series Type TC Profile Damper for Crane Equipment
The Profile Damper Type TC from the innovative ACE TUBUS Series is a maintenance free, self-contained damping element made from a special Co-Polyester Elastomer. They have been specially developed for Crane equipment applications and fulfill the international Industry standards OSHA and CMAA.
Many crane applications require a spring rate with a high return force. This is achieved with the unique DualProfile Concept of the TC-S models. For Energy-Management-Systems the TC model types provide a cost efficient solution with a high return force capability.
The very small and light package size from ø 64 mm up to ø 176 mm covers an energy absorption capacity ranging from 450 Nm up to 12720 Nm/cycle. The excellent resistance to UV, seawater chemical and microbe attack together with the wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 90°C enables a wide range of applications.
Life expectancy is extremely high; up to twenty times longer than for urethane dampers, up to ten times longer than rubber buffers and up to five times longer than steel springs.
