This design by LEBENDämpfungstechnik GmbH acts as a hydraulic shock absorber in both, pulling and pushing direction. The energy dissipation of this kind of industrial shock absorber is performed in two ways Working principle As a purely hydraulic variant (TwinStroke®) – in push (compression) direction hydraulically reversible by means of damping medium – in pull (tension) direction hydraulically reversible by means of damping medium The TwinStroke® dampens push and pull forces without an additional functional element. A piston system transmits the push and pull forces gashydraulically to different gas and oil chambers. In this way, any load can be absorbed immediately without idle stroke, socalled “slack”, and with minimal wear. The TwinStroke® can absorb changing loads very well. The smaller size and lower weight is advantageous, as only one element is needed to absorb compression and tension forces.

The COMPENSER® of the KL-series is an industrial shock absorber for light mechanical engineering, e.g. handling equipment, small storage and retrieval machines and small crane systems. Due to the low reset force of the compression spring, this buffer of the KL-series is well suited for operational push-in cycles at creep speed. Design & Function: The piston rod 2 pushes the piston 6 into the pressure chamber 7. At the same time, the damping medium flows through the metering grooves placed in the outer tube 8, via the piston 6 and into the volume balance chamber 5. The return spring 3 is tensioned and, after the impact has occurred, pushes the piston rod 2 back to the initial position. By this the damping medium flows back into the pressure chamber 7.
