Good brakes are needed when driving fast. Users of linear drives have a wide range of components and system solutions to choose from: on the one hand, hydraulic damping elements such as small shock absorbers for more demanding solutions and, on the other, more cost-effective products such as structural dampers for simpler tasks. Two practical examples from ACE shock absorbers illustrate that there are suitable solutions for practically all applications that allow even fast processes to run smoothly.
