Fast Facts about Dampers

Ameritool is North America’s leading supplier of dampers, products that are also known as hydraulic dampers, shocks, and struts.   Applications include machine guards, lids, hatches, windows, swinging loads, and lever arms.

Unlike gas springs, dampers do not provide push or pull force. Instead, dampers control the rate of movement throughout the stroke.

An Ameritool damper is composed of a tube with a piston on a rod, and an advanced piston system.
Extension dampers provide controlled damping speed while the rod extends out of the cylinder.

Compression dampers provide controlled damping speed while the rod compression into the cylinder.

Dual-direction dampers provide an equal amount of damping speed in both directions.o.
