Enidine’s (HD/HDN series) heavy duty shock absorbers are engineered to buffer impacts where a soft, controlled deceleration is required, protecting industrial equipment such as overhead bridge and trolley cranes and automated storage and retrieval systems from damage commonly associated with these types of applications. The company’s engineers created the HDN series shock absorber to extend the service life of critical equipment while keeping operators safe.

Not only does this versatile line of heavy-duty industrial shock absorbers smoothly decelerate loads of up to 3,000,000 in-lbs (330 000 Nm), but its stroke lengths are also offered in sizes up to 60 inches (1,524 mm). Also, by using optional fluids and seal packages, customers can expand its standard operating temperature range to meet unique operating requirements. Enidine’s HDN series shocks are designed with an internal air/oil accumulator to provide shorter overall length and reduced weight, making them an ideal compact solution to applications where the surrounding structure or a limited mounting location exists.

When it comes to safety, the HDN series meets OSHA, AISE, CMAA, DIN and FEM specifications, ensuring that customers have a product that meets these critical standards and will work as hard as their equipment. Enidine believes that utilizing innovation to improve safety should extend to the environment. That is why this series of heavy-duty industrial shock absorbers are designed with environmentally friendly materials and fluids and Enidne’s piston rod extension sensors are available for re-use safety requirements.
