ECO Series Adjustable Shock Absorbers
Frequently Asked Questions
Enidine Incorporated offers a full assortment of accessories that include stop collars, jam nuts, cylinder clevises, foot mounts and cap pads. Not all accessories are available with all models.
Yes. These shock absorbers can be orifice to provide specific damping for a particular application. When the shock absorbers are custom orifice they are referred to as CBOEM shock absorbers.
No, the design incorporates an air charged bladder accumlator.
The small series OEM shock absorbers can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment knob at the back of the shock absorber.
The maximum side-load angle allowed by Enidine Incorporated is 10° (+5°). For a rotating arm, door, lid or circuit breaker for example, the moving load should be perpendicular to the center-line of the piston rod when it is halfway through the stroke.
Generally the shock absorber's energy capacity per hour can be increased by 20%.
Locate the applications impact velocity on the Y-axis and the selected model graph line. Follow the impact velocity horizontally until it intersects the selected model graph line. Follow the intersection point vertically down to the X-axis. The value at the X-axis is the maximum allowable adjustment setting.

The Interchange link located above, it will assist you in upgrading from the current product to the new ECO series product.
Yes. With the Enicote II surface finish and elimination of other materials used on internal components, the ECO series shock absorber is fully RoHS Compliant.
DA stands for double acting non-adjustable hydraulic damper. Applications range from doors and lids to amusement rides and conveyor systems.
Longer Life - It significantly reduces shock and vibration to machinery.
Higher Operating Speeds - Machines can be operated at higher speeds because of the Shock Absorber control or gently stop moving objects.
Improved Production Quality - Harmful side effects of motion, such as noise and vibration and damaging impacts are moderate or eliminated, so the quality of production is improved.
Safer Machinery - Protects machinery and operators by offering predictable, reliable and controlled deceleration.

Dampers, Buffers, Dashpost, Snubbers and Isolators.
The OEM small series shock absorbers are a series of adjustable shock absorbers that have bore siezes of 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch in diameter and stroke lengths of .28 inches to 2 inches depending on model.
HD is the name of Enidine Incorporated's Heavy Duty series of shock absorbers.
A specially designed DA which dampen abrupt starts and stops of power and free conveying systems.
CBOEM is a custom orifice non - adjustable unit, which meets specific application requirement.
Allows linear deceleration by providing a constant shock force over the entire stroke.
This provides the largest shock force at the beginning of the stroke when the impact velocity is highest.
Enicote II is our new surface finish used on all external components. This coating is RoHS compliant and provides a better corrosion resistant coating than our legacy nickel plating and competitive products.
This provides deceleration with a gradually increasing shock force. The initial minimal resistance at impact protects delicate loads and machinery from damage.
The OEM small bore series shock absorbers have an adjustment range of 0 minimum damping to 8.0 maximum damping .
Typically the HD models are charged at the factory to between 30 and 40 psi.
100 PSI
The standard operational temperature range is 15 to 180°F (-10 to 85°C).
The OEM .1 through .5 provide dashpot type damping. The OEM 1.0, OEM 1.25 x 1 and OEM 1.25 x 2 provide conventional type damping.
A. When the application's energy per hour exceeds the maximum rating for self contained units.
B. When the piston rod sequence must be controlled.
B. When the piston rod sequence must be controlled.
This decision was made in order to simplify our product lines by offering fewer models. This will also enable us to deliver the product quicker with a reduced number of part numbers to build.
RoHS is an environmental initiative putting restrictions on potentially hazardous materials. By making all of the modifications to eliminate any potentially hazardous metal or coating, we have added to this by including the change to bio-degradable hydraulic fluids. All of these changes are done with the environment in mind, thus, we decided to go with an environmental name like ECO – for ECOlogical. Additionally, ITT Corporation has many initiatives designed at improving our environment – including our people, facilities, packaging and now our products.
