Mounting instructions and mounting accessories

Construction size: 

Ø 47 mm to 70 mm

Max. speed: 

50 rpm

Lifetime: 

50,000 cycles (1 cycle = 360° left-hand,  

360° right-hand), at least 80 % of the original damping torque 

after this. The service life may be significantly higher or lower, 

depending on the application.

Operating temperature range: 

-10 °C to +50 °C

Damping medium:

 Silicone oil

Material: 

Outer body: Steel; Output shaft sleeve: Nylon

Damping direction: 

Top view of the shaft left-hand (L) = 

anticlockwise, right-hand (R) = clockwise.

Mounting:

 in any position 

Mounting information: 

Secure brake at the mounting holes and 

connect the part to be braked via a suitable shaft to the output 

shaft sleeve. An external guide or support of the moved part is 

recommended. Thanks to the flat design, numerous dampers can 

be fitted in parallel to increase the damping torque.
No axial or radial forces may be introduced via the shaft. The 

rotary axis was not designed for side loading (see diagrams).

Safety instructions: 

Do not use rotary dampers as supports. 

Provide an external guide or support.

On request: 

Special designs available on request.

Angular offset

Misalignment

Side loading 

End loading

Note! The rotary axes, square mounts or free-wheel 

mounts are not designed for side loading.

Installation instructions

Before installation and use check whether the identification num-

ber on the product or on the packaging matches the respective 

designation on the delivery note. 

Rotary dampers are maintenance-free and ready-to-in-

stall.

WARNING

The specified rated damping torque  

applies at a temperature of 23 °C or a  

speed of 20 rpm. 

The damping torque can change depending 

on the temperature or speed. Please observe the characteristic 

curves in the mounting instructions.

The flap/mass can fall off during installation and removal 

of the rotary damper.

 Secure moving flap/mass against falling 

down!

Depending on the application, failure of the product could 

lead to personal injuries and/or material damage. 

Use 

additional safety elements.

Exceeding the permissible temperature range, the max. 

speed, the cycle number and the specified damping torque 

can lead to premature failure or destruction of the rotary 

damper.

 Operating temperature range, speed of 50 rpm, cycle 

number of  

12/min. and the specified damping torque must be maintained.

Dirt, swarf and aggressive liquids can cause premature 

failure of the rotary damper. 

Protect or encapsulate rotary 

damper from external materials in the surrounding area.

Do not use rotary dampers in high-pressure or vacuum 

range.
