Friction damper for impact absorption

By converting the kinetic energy of the impact load into heat Damptech dampers absorb the impact of a moving load and thereby reduce the transmission of potentially damaging shocks to equipment and vehicles. The damper in its initial position is elongated. When a moving load hits the damper the damper resists the movement by gradually closing until the moving load is stopped. In doing so the damper has converted the mechanical energy of the moving load into heat and damage is avoided. More info:
