Selection steps
■Shock Absorbers Selection Steps
1. Calculate the inertia energy (E1)
Calculate the energy based on the collision material mass (m) , collision velocity (V) , moment of inertia (I) , and collision angle velocity (u) , according to the selection calculation example.
↓
2. Temporarily select the absorber stroke
Determine the temporary stroke (S') according to Fig.1.
↓
3. Calculate the addition energy (E2')
Verify the existence of thrust force (F) and calculate the addition energy according to the selection calculation example.
↓
4. Calculate the total energy
Calculate the total energy by adding inertia energy (E1) and addition energy (E2') together.
↓
Fig.1 Determine the temporary stroke (S') based on the inertia energy (E1) (adjustable / fixed type)
5. Check the equivalent mass
Calculate the equivalent mass according to the selection calculation example to check if it is less than or equal to the maximum equivalent mass (me') shown in the catalog.
↓
6. Select the absorption property structure from the energy ratio.
Temporarily select the orifice type according to Fig.2.
↓
7. Check the max. absorption energy per minute
Calculate the energy per minute (ET) based on the operating cycle (times/min) and the total energy to confirm that it is within the operating range.
Fig.2 Select the orifice type based on the energy ratio (addition energy (E2') / inertia energy (E1))

Technical calculations
- ■Shock Absorber Energy Calculations
- Selection example: Horizontal collision with air cylinder thrust
-
- m = 30kg
- V = 0.6m/s
- N = 20 times/min
- Air Cylinder
- I.D.: Ø40, Operating pressure: 0.5 Mpa
-
●Inertia energy E1 (J)
-
●Temporary stroke S' (mm)
S' = 15 mm according to Fig.1
(See the shock absorber selection steps for Fig.1)
-
●Addition energy E2' (J)
Cylinder thrust is F = 628.4N
E2' = F x S' = 628.4 x 0.015 = 9.4 J
-
●Total energy E' (J)
E' = E1 + E2' = 5.4 + 9.4 = 14.8J
-
Equiv. mass me' (kg)
-
Temporary selection
Select the adjustable type
Select the medium speed M from the collision velocity
Select MAC2016M from E' and me' (stroke S = 16mm)
-
Re-calculate
E2 = F x S = 10.1J
E = E1 + E2 = 15.5J
Energy per minute ET
ET = E x N = 15.5J x 20 = 310J/min
