Ace Controls CVC-2 Hydraulic Shock Absorber

Ace Controls CVC-2 Hydraulic Shock Absorber is a compact, maintenance-free hydraulic damper engineered to provide smooth, programmable deceleration in industrial equipment. It is part of ACE Controls’ hydraulic damper family and uses Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) as its damping medium. The device supports multi-directional speed adjustment with independent control of compression and extension, and is designed for mounting in any position to fit a wide range of layouts. Construction features include an aluminum outer body with a hard chrome plated steel piston rod and zinc-plated steel end fittings. Key dimensions and capabilities (typical for ACE’s 2-inch stroke dampers) include a 2.00 inch stroke, outer body diameter of 1.26 inches, piston rod diameter of 0.31 inches, and a compression/traction force range from 9.5 to 450 pounds. The unit is rated for about 250,000 cycles, operates from 32 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit, and offers adjustable, step-less damping with explicit end-stroke stops (0.04–0.06 inches before the end of stroke as defined by the user). These characteristics make the CVC-2 suitable for safety or control applications where precise energy absorption and repeatable stopping are required, such as in process equipment, machine tooling, and conveyor systems.
