Ace Controls 600M-880 Shock Absorber Vibration Damper

ACE Controls 600M-880 is a compact, adjustable shock absorber (vibration damper) with a 1.00-inch stroke, designed to absorb shocks and dampen motion in tight-space machinery. As part of the MA/MC miniature shock absorber family, it delivers 600 in-lbs per cycle of energy capacity and offers stepless damping adjustment with a neutral preset at delivery; hard- and soft-end-stroke behavior can be tailored by turning an adjustment ring (hard at the start of stroke toward 9 or PLUS, hard at the end of stroke toward 0 or MINUS). Mounting is possible in any position, and the unit uses a hardened stainless-steel piston rod with an oil-based damping medium for temperature-stable performance; key specs include a return force range of 2.40–6.87 lbs, a return time of about 0.2 s, an impact velocity range of 0.5–12 ft/s, and an operating temperature range of 32°F to 150°F. The “-880” suffix identifies the standard -880 variant for MA/MC models with a 1" stroke, ensuring compatibility within ACE’s catalog and suitability for applications such as linear slides, robotics, machine tools, handling modules, and packaging equipment.
