P-SERIES ADAPTIVE CUSHIONING SYSTEM - "ACS"
P-Series NPFA Cylinders are equipped with the IMI Norgren Adaptive
Cushioning System, "ACS". This uniquely desinged internal air cushion
auto-adapts to changing loads and conditions. This means cushion needle
adjustment is not required, simplifying installation and set-up. The auto-
adaptability of the ACS results in longer machine life and offers a fit and
forget solution
The ACS Adaptive Cushioning System provides a high performance
pneumatic damping function. The cushion screw is preset at the factory and
will cushion for a wide range of general applications. Manual adjustment of
the cushion screw is still possible for extreme applications.
ACS Benefits
> Simplifies installation
> No specialist knowledge for set-up
> No cushion setting required for many applications
> Cylinder auto-adapts to changing loads and conditions
> Fit and forget
