Pneumatic cylinders cushioned and quietened

A reliable cost-effective alternative for pneumatic cushions in pneumatic cylinders provide superior cushioning and quiet operation without the need for adjustment.
Automation control equipment manufacturer Ace Controls International announces the introduction of NuCushion for mounting externally to pneumatic cylinders. NuCushions are a reliable cost-effective alternative for pneumatic cushions in pneumatic cylinders. Unlike pneumatic cylinder cushions, NuCushions provide superior cushioning and quiet operation without the need for adjustment.

Adding NuCushions eliminates the need for the bleed needle assembly, cushion spud and spud seal.

NuCushion advantages include significantly reduced reaction forces, resulting in longer pneumatic cylinder life.

They are unaffected by oil, grease, chemicals, sunlight, salt spray and hydraulic fluids.

Versatile NuCushions compensate for changes in velocity, weight and pressure.

Cycle rates are maintained without loss of cycle time.

Two models are available, the 3.25R and the 4.00R with respective diameters of 58.4 and 64.5mm and energy capacities of 200 and 300Nm.
