Enidine’s Large Capacity HD/HDN industrial shock absorbers are trusted by global industrial operators to protect critical equipment like overhead bridges, trolley cranes and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) from the damage of large impacts. With a deceleration load capacity of 8,000,000 in-lbs. and up to a 60 inch stroke length, the HD/HDN line offers market-leading durability for heavy duty equipment in the harshest of industrial environments.

Heavy duty industrial equipment requires a hydraulic shock absorber that can reliably handle excessive energy impacts. Enidine’s Large Capacity HD/HDN heavy industrial shock absorbers were engineered to do just that without the hassle and constraints of a bulky design.

Large capacity in a small package

The innovative HD/HDN shock absorbers are built to smoothly decelerate loads of up to 8,000,000 in-lbs. per cycle in large, critical manufacturing equipment including trolley cranes, overhead bridge cranes and ASRS. Optional materials and fluids are available to accommodate extreme applications or those that require a custom motion control design in a small footprint.

Despite the ability to withstand large impacts, HD/HDN shock absorbers can have a shorter overall length and reduced weight compared to similar competitive products. That’s because the cutting-edge design of the HD/HDN series includes an internal air/oil accumulator package. HD/HDN shock absorbers are also available in a variety of mounting configurations and accessories that will support most impact conditions for a given application.

Customizable solutions

Enidine understands that not all deceleration needs are the same for a given application. That’s why all product solutions within the HD/HDN line can be customized to a variety of stroke lengths and damping characteristics to increase equipment life and meet a variety of customer-specific requirements. Enidine’s Enisize online sizing tool enables users to configure heavy duty shock absorbers by supplying various input parameters for their specific application, so that their team of dedicated application engineers can get to work configuring a solution specialized to the customer’s unique requirements.

Reliable in harsh environments

Extreme environments can significantly increase the frequency of corrosion and wear and tear to industrial equipment. With this in mind, the engineers at Enidine created the HD/HDN series using zinc plating on all external components and optional epoxy painting for top-of-the-line corrosion protection. In addition, all HD/HDN solutions have optional fluids and seal packages that can expand the standard operating temperature range from -30° F to 210° F.

Protecting operators and the environment

Of course, it’s about protecting more than the products in any given application. At Enidine, the safety of operators and the environment is a top priority when engineering industrial equipment, and the HD/HDN series is no different. Enidine heavy duty shock absorbers in the HD/HDN product line are designed with environmentally friendly materials and fluids, and piston rod extension sensors are available to meet re-use safety requirements. All Enidine solutions meet U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, as well as other global safety specifications such as those of the German Institute of Standardization and the European Materials Handling Federation (FEM).
