Install a mechanical stop 0.5 to 1 mm before end of stroke
on models up to the MA 150.
Adjustment: On models MA 35 up to MA150: by turning
the adjustment screw at rear. On the larger sizes: by
turning the adjustment knob against the scale marked
0 to 9. After installation cycle the machine a few times
and turn the adjustment knob until optimum deceleration
is achieved (i. e. smooth deceleration throughout stroke).
Hard impact at start of stroke Turn adjuster towards 9
Hard setdown at end of stroke Turn adjuster towards 0
Impact velocity range: MA series 0.3 to 3.6 m/s (check
effective weight calculation.): FA units max. 2 m/s.
Materials: Steel body with black oxide finish. Piston rod
hardened stainless steel.
W4 capacity rating
(max. energy per hour Nm/hr):
If your application exceeds
tabulated W4 figures consider
additional cooling i. e. cylinder
exhaust air etc.
Mounting: In any position.
Operating emperature range:
Up to MA 150: 0 to 65C.
From MA 225: -12 to 90C.
On request: Weartec finish
(seawater resistant) other
special finishes available to
special order.

ACE Miniature Shock Absorbers
are maintenance free, self-contained
hydraulic components. If you prefer a
fully adjustable shock absorber rather
than a self-compensating model on
your application then the FA and MA
Series provide a directly interchangea-
ble alternative. The adjustable series
include an integrated mechanical stop
from the Model MA 225 upwards.
These adjustable units have long
stroke lengths (MA 925 with 40 mm
Superstroke) to provide smooth de-
celeration and low reaction forces.
The MA 150 incorporates the proven
rolling diaphragm seal (used on the
MC 150 to MC 600 range) and shares
all the advantages of that technol-
ogy. The stepless adjustment range
of the FA and MA Series covers an
effective weight range from 0.2 kg
up to 2040 kg.
