Shock Absorbers
Shock absorbers are mechanisms designed to decelerate a moving object gently and gradually. They can function using either hydraulic fluid or compressed air and are utilized in numerous industrial and commercial settings. Pneumatic Resources supplies a selection of premium pneumatic shock absorbers, stopper collars, and mounting solutions from the trusted brand SMC.
How does a shock absorber function?
Shock absorbers are sealed units that rely on pressurized oil or air to create a cushioning or damping effect. This fluid or gas is pushed through internal valves that restrict flow, effectively absorbing kinetic energy, which is then safely released into the atmosphere.
Common uses for shock absorbers
These devices are implemented across various industries wherever impact energy needs to be absorbed. Common applications include:
- Vehicle suspension systems
- Automated machinery
- Robotic assemblies
- Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders
- Systems requiring vibration isolation
- Vending and dispensing units
- Pumping systems and motors
- Linear motion actuators
Different kinds of shock absorbers
Shock absorbers are available in adjustable or self-adjusting formats. Adjustable models include a manual dial to fine-tune the response to the load. Self-compensating variants generally employ hydraulic oil that moves through precision orifices as the piston compresses.

Shock Absorber, , 72.1mm Body Length, SMC, RBL1412
RBL1412
The SMC RBL series coolant resistant shock absorber can be operated in an environment exposed to non-water soluble cutting oil. Scraper and rod seal combine to form a double seal enclosure preventing cutting oil from entering inside. It has a specially designed orifice that compensate for varying speed and loads to consistently decelerate loads without requiring additional adjustment.
