Whether you prefer isolating and therefore soft bearings or stiffer and damping, ACE has the right products and solutions for vibration damping and vibration isolation of machines. With the convenient and self-explanatory new software and the proven top service, the company now also supports design engineers in this sector, from design to ordering to delivery within 24 hours.

Every machine needs a functionally reliable mounting in order to work optimally. ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH, known for its many practical solutions in the fields of damping and vibration control technology and gas springs, now also offers users a growing number of suitable products for machine mounts, regardless of whether the mounts are to be rigid or elastic in practice. With the new, intuitive calculation tool, ACE offers optimum visualization of a wide range of possible applications. At https://www.ace-ace.de/de/berechnungen/schwingungsdaempfung.ht ml, users can independently calculate more than 2/3 of all typical design cases in the shortest possible time and display the ideal machine bearing.

With interface to the free VibroChecker app
With the development of this new tool, ACE is consistently expanding its user-friendly calculation and configuration solutions at http://www.ace-ace.de. As with the configurator for SLAB isolation mats, the first interactive offering in the field of vibration damping, the Langenfeld-based company places great importance on excellent visualization. For example, the new online tool for vibration damping automatically calculates the machine's center of mass and thus the individual load on the support points, whereby off-center loads can also be entered. The tolerance range for this is currently limited to 20% for standard applications and is indicated by a colored field. The customer is also able to select different sizes of isolators. The results are listed according to the efficiency of the degree of insulation. The most cost-effective insulator can also be selected quickly from the results. Within a few intuitive steps and within seconds, the software usually displays several variants for optimum vibration damping or insulation as part of a calculation. If desired, only tear-resistant types can be selected. However, as these types are a special feature, fewer products that are suitable for use appear on the monitor. The choice between these two variants is one of several filters offered by the tool. Another special feature when calculating and selecting the right vibration damping online is the option to use an interface to the free VibroChecker app developed by ACE. This allows the smartphone to be used for vibration measurement and the excitation frequency determined can now be transferred directly to the calculation tool. Measuring vibrations ad hoc and being shown suitable dampers for machine mounts with just a few clicks is currently hardly easier and quicker online than with ACE.

"The new design software for vibration damping follows in the tradition of ACE's other online calculation tools and adds an important component to our range of self-selection services," explains André Weßling, Head of Marketing and conceptually responsible for the development of the calculation and store tools at ACE. With this further innovative solution, the company is consistently pursuing its path as a round-the-clock, full-service provider, as ACE customers can order the products determined by the design at the click of a mouse and seamlessly via the online store on the ACE homepage and have them delivered by parcel service within a very short time. According to André Weßling, this is a further simplification of work à la ACE, although the traditional methods of customer advice from ACE via telephone, e-mail and on-site visits are of course still available.

ACE and MDESIGN cooperate
Alongside the launch of the new online tool for machine mounts, ACE is also announcing its cooperation with MDESIGN: ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH is now represented as the first online selection service for industrial shock absorbers, gas springs and also vibration damping in the MDESIGN Dubbel Edition online formula collection.

The new Internet edition of the well-known reference work "DUBBEL - Taschenbuch für den Maschinenbau" provides students, trainees and technically interested users with numerous, interactively usable formulas as a free application. The MDESIGN Dubbel Edition is the first extract of the proven MDESIGN software for the design, recalculation, optimization and documentation of machine elements and component groups that is available online.

There is now a link to the various ACE online tools. In addition to the familiar calculation options for small and industrial shock absorbers and safety dampers, the ACE gas spring online calculation is also available on the MDESIGN Dubbel Edition. The selection for ACE vibration dampers is also integrated into the online formula collection. These web pages are also intuitively designed, with the ACE logo displayed on the start page and all other navigation and calculation levels, as well as icons with links to ACE's online tools. For example, in the Machine Elements section, the two icons Shock Absorbers and Gas Springs can be found online on the German version and Shock Absorbers and Gas Springs on the English version: https://dubbel.mdesign.online/
