The safety solution when impacting

GANTRY supplies OLEO hydraulic buffers as a safety device at the end of tracks : gantry cranes, funiculars, ...

Other applications involving buffers include industrial processes : ground tracks, rotating bridges, .....






 Principle

Under impact the plunger slides into the cylinder and generates oil displacement. The kinetic energy is then transformed into heat energy, which dissipates later in the atmosphere. An automatic device re-opens the buffer to its normal rest position.

 Characteristics
  • A maximum safety environment for the personnel working nearby.
  • An optimum protection for the travelling machine, as well as for the buildings’ structures.
  • An uniform deceleration, along with low dynamic reactions.
  • A robust construction for heavy engineering environment.
  • A high impact frequency capacity.
 Range

A series of buffers with energetic capacity ranging from 10 to 672 kJ, damping impacts on strokes up to 1200 mm.
