ACE Rotary Dampers

What are rotary dampers?

Rotary dampers are mechanical components that aid to slow down movement through continuous rotation. Where they are installed, they provide a smooth, continuous movement absorbing vibration and noise, which gives a more controlled and comfortable operation of the object in use.

Rotary dampers are used in wide range of sectors and in a variety of applications including solar power & energy equipment, furniture, enclosures, automotive, security, aerospace, medical technology, appliances, sanitation equipment, plants & machinery, electronics and sports, lesiure & tourism equipment.

ACE Rotary Dampers mainly provide an invisible yet valuable service as a maintenance-free and ready-to-install machine element to allow controlled deceleration of rotary or linear movements.

They are often necessary to assist in the careful opening and closing of small lids, compartments and drawers and they protect sensitive components while increasing the quality and value of products.

They are easy to integrate and the gentle movements of these little decelerators can be achieved with continual rotation or with limited pivoting angles.

They slow down left, right or double sided rotation and are suitable for almost any application. They are currently also available in adjustable variations and can provide braking torques of 0.05 Ncm to 40 Nm.

	Vertical use is applied to the case where the final position of a moving object (application) is suspended vertically. A rotary damper is placed at the rotation center, and the rotary damper torque becomes the largest at the horizontal position and then decreases gradually. Applications include: Bakery shelves Range hoods Vending machines Shower sheets Cat flaps/doors
	Horizontal use is applied in the case where the final position of a moving object (application) becomes horizontal. A rotary damper is placed at the rotation centre, and the rotary damper torque increases gradually as the position becomes horizontal. Applications include: Dust boxes Toilet seat covers Piano lids TV console doors Industrial refrigerator doors
	Horizontal & Vertical use is applied to the case where the final position of a moving object (application) becomes diagonal. A rotary damper is placed at the rotation center, and the rotary damper torque increases gradually as the position becomes horizontal and when the position becomes horizontal, the torque reaches a maximum, and then decreases gradually. Applications include: Bakery shelves Dust boxes Storage boxes
	The Continuous Rotation method is used to slow the movement of free fall, as well as a pop-up operation, by means of a spring, using a rack and pinion mechanism. This enables the smooth operation of a moving object at constant speed. Applications include: Drink dispenser Sliding doors Cord rewinding Flush buttons Drink holders

Product Range


FRT-E2 The damping direction of the smallest FRT-E2 rotary dampers with plastic body is rotating on both sides. They can brake directly in the pivot point or linear through a gear and gear rack.	FRT-G2 The damping direction of the FRT-G2 product family with plastic body is rotating on both sides. The small rotary dampers can brake directly in the pivot point or linear through a gear and gear rack.	FRT-C2 and FRN-C2 The damping direction of the simple FRT-C2 and FRN-C2 is either right, left or two-sided rotation. These ACE rotary dampers with plastic body can decelerate directly in the pivot point or linear through a gear and gear rack.	FRT-D2 and FRN-D2 The damping direction of the FRT-D2 and FRN-D2 rotary dampers with plastic body is either the right, left or two-sided rotation. They can decelerate directly in the pivot point or linear through a gear and gear rack.

FRT-F2/K2 and FRN-F2/K2 The damping direction of FRT F2/K2 and FRN-F2/K2 is either the right, left or two-sided rotation. With a damping torque of up to 400 Ncm, this product family can even handle heavy components. These ACE rotary dampers can decelerate directly in the pivot point or linear through a gear and gear rack.	FFD In comparison to other rotary dampers, the FFD product family does not need any fluid to generate the damping torque, but rather works on the principle of friction. That means temperature or speed changes have virtually no influence on the damping torque. The FFD is available in two different body variants and two types of bearings.	FDT The damping direction of the flat constructive FDT rotary damper with robust steel body is two-sided rotation. It can brake directly in the pivot point of the square receptacle.	FDN The damping direction of the flat, strong FDN rotary dampers with steel body can be either right or left rotation. They can brake directly in the pivot point.

FYN-P1 The damping direction of the rotary damper FYN-P1 can be either right or left rotation. The dampers can be directly mounted in the pivot point. During each reverse movement of the unilateral decelerating versions there is a certain return damping torque that depends on the size. Differentiation of the damping direction through the coloured shaft.	FYN-N1 The damping direction of the rotary damper FYN-N1 can be either right or left rotation. The dampers can be directly mounted in the pivot point. During each reverse movement of the unilateral decelerating versions there is a certain return damping torque that depends on the size. Differentiation of the damping direction through coloured end cap.	FYN-U1 The damping direction of the rotary damper FYN-U1 can be either right or left rotation. The dampers can be directly mounted in the pivot point. The body is made of especially robust die-cast zinc. During each reverse movement of the unilateral decelerating versions there is a certain return damping torque that depends on the size.	FYN-S1 The self-compensating FYN-S1 rotary damper with zinc die-cast body provides a constant sequence of movement for different masses. The damping direction can be either right or left rotation. During each reverse movement of the unilateral decelerating versions there is a certain return damping torque that depends on the size.

FYT-H1 and FYN-H1 The damping direction of the adjustable FYT-H1 and FYT-H1 can be right, left or two-sided rotation. During each reverse movement of the unilateral decelerating versions there is a certain return damping torque that depends on the size. The brakes have a particularly robust zinc die-cast body and shafts made of steel.		FYT-LA3 and FYN-LA3 The damping direction of this adjustable high-performance rotary damper can be right, left or two-sided rotation. During each reverse movement of the unilateral decelerating versions there is a certain return damping torque that depends on the size. The brakes have a particularly robust zinc die-cast body and shafts made of steel.
