Camloc Motion Control is adding a range of hydraulic damping units to its product portfolio of high-quality gas struts, springs, brackets and end fittings. Cam-Shoc Dampers, as they are known, are self-contained, maintenance-free, hydraulic damping units. They are designed and engineered to absorb, meter and control kinetic energy with the movement of the piston through the oil creating the damping characteristic. The range, available in a variety of sizes, includes:
The Cam-Shoc range provides damping products suitable for arresting and controlling a wide variety of applications, from a few kilos in weight - such as lids, cabinets and ladder racks on vehicles - through much heavier weights, such as armoured doors and specialist blast mitigation systems for use on military vehicles and other highly demanding applications.
Available in carbon steel and stainless steel, these compactly designed, reliable units operate at a temperature range from -40degC to +100degC, making them highly durable and maintenance free.
Camloc's Engineering Manager, Matt Warne explains: "Generally, dampers are designed to influence the characteristics of movement by providing the controlled stoppage of a weight or lid, for example. With our new Cam-Shoc Dampers, we'll work closely with our customers to either choose the most appropriate damper for their specific application, or even custom-design the units to achieve their particular damping or mounting needs."
Using the latest CAD/CAE techniques, Camloc Motion Control's expert design engineers provide this highly praised and sought-after service, creating and manufacturing prototypes within 14 days for testing on applications.
Matt Warne adds: "We recognise that no two applications are the same, so it's important we provide our customers with this bespoke service. Whether they're used in velocity control, deceleration control or momentum change, we'll choose or create a high-quality Cam-Shoc Damper that will meet our customers' exact requirements."
