DAMPTAC can provide customers with professional solutions for energy absorption and damping control.
Selecting the most suitable buffer model requires five basic parameters:
1. Weight of moving load: m (kg)
2. Impact speed: v (m/s)
3. Impetus: F (N)
4. Number of buffers installed in parallel: n (pcs)
5. Impact frequency: c (1/h)
Here are some practical examples:
1. Horizontally moving objects with no additional thrust
m= 100 kg
v =1.5 m/s
c = 500 /h
n =1
Impact kinetic energy: w1 = 0.5*m*v*v = 112.5 Nm
Thrust work: w2 = 0
Total impact energy : w3 = w1 + w2 = 112.5 Nm
Effective weight : we = 2 * w3 / (v * v) = 100 kg
After the calculation, the comparison in the product specification table, DTK2525-B is most suitable for this application.
2. Horizontally moving objects with cylinder thrust
m= 100 kg
F = 2000 N
v = 1.5 m/s
c = 500 /h
n =1
Impact kinetic energy: w1 = 0.5*m*v*v = 112.5 Nm
Thrust work: w2 = F*s = 70 Nm
Total impact energy : w3 = w1 + w2 = 182.5 Nm
Effective weight : we = 2 * w3 / (v * v) = 171 kg
After the calculation, the comparison in the product specification table, DTK3035-B is most suitable for this application.
3. Free fall movement
m= 60 kg
h = 1 m
c = 500 /h
n =1
Impact speed: v = sqrt(2*g*h)= 4.4 m/s
Impact kinetic energy: w1 = 0.5*m*v*v = 588 Nm
Thrust work: w2 = F*s = 44 Nm
Total impact energy: w3 = w1 + w2 = 632 Nm
Effective weight: we = 2 * w3 / (v * v) = 65.3 kg
After the calculation, the comparison in the product specification table, DTK3035-B is most suitable for this application.
