Proven Design

Our Standard Series shock absorbers provide a constant deceleration; stopping your load without bouncing. Since our Series S shocks have custom, fixed sized holes in the internal metering tube, they are very specific to the loading situation and, therefore, more economical and efficient.  There is no adjustment required, so the unit is ready to go out of the box and tamper proof.


Custom Mounting Styles

All of out Series S shock absorbers are offered in four mounting styles; Rod End Flange, Blind End Flange, Clevis, and Side Lug, making it easy for you to mount no matter your situation. If your area requires some custom fitting of the mounting, let us know, and we will be happy to customize your shock absorber.


Spring Return vs Air Return

The piston rod can be returned to the ready position in two different ways; by using a spring return or an air return. The spring return automatically returns the piston rod to the start postion and is recommended when velocities are high. These units are completely self contained. The air return style is used to delay the return of the piston rod to the start position. This style requires the use of an external air/oil tank, an air line, and a 3-way air valve.
