Applications of Industrial Shock Absorbers

 

Typical shock absorber applications in this category include:

​

  • CNC rotary index tables that position workpieces for machining

  • Rotary assembly tables moving products between production stations

  • Pneumatically driven index tables in packaging and filling machines

  • High-speed turret heads on automated production equipment

  • Rotary welding fixtures requiring precise end-of-rotation deceleration

  • Small pallet-changing tables in automated manufacturing cells

 

In all these cases, a medium industrial shock absorber must be correctly sized to absorb the kinetic energy from the torque-driven rotation, providing smooth stopping and protecting mechanical parts from impact.

Sizing Industrial Shock Absorbers for
Torque Driven Rotary Index Table

Rotary index tables powered by motors or pneumatic drives rotate parts or fixtures quickly and must stop precisely at set positions. Choosing the right industrial shock absorber is essential to control this motion and avoid damaging mechanical stops. At Shockbuffer, we offer specialized industrial shock absorber selection and precise sizing of shock absorbers for torque-driven rotary index tables. Our medium industrial shock absorbers are designed to handle the rotational kinetic energy generated by motor-driven tables, improving positioning accuracy, reducing vibration, and extending machine life. Using the correct shock absorber for machinery ensures reliable, quiet, and safe operation.

Formulae

E1 = W · v  · 0.25 = 0.5 · I · ω

E2 = (T · s) / R

E3 = E1 + E2

E4 = (E3· c)

vD = (v · R) / L = ω · R

We = (2 · E3) / vD

Example: Sizing Industrial Shock Absorbers for Torque Driven Rotary Index Table.

W = 1000 kg

v = 2 m/s

T = 800 Nm

s = 0.1 m

L = 1000 mm

R = 800 mm

c = 100 /hr

E1 = 1000 · 2  · 0.25 = 1000 Nm

E2 = (800 · 0.1) / 0.8 = 99.3 Nm

E3 = 1000+ 73.9 = 1099.3 Nm

E4 = 1099.3 · 100 = 109930Nm/hr

vD = (2 · 0.8) / 1 = 1.6 m/s

We = (2 · 1099.3 ) / 2  = 858.8 kg
