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.

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

mounts are not designed for side loading.

Packaging disposal: 

Please dispose of the transportation pack-

aging in an environmentally-friendly manner. Recycling packaging 

materials saves raw materials and reduces waste. The packaging 

materials do not contain any prohibited materials.

Construction size: 

Ø 80 mm

Lifetime: 

50,000 cycles, 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: 

-5 °C to +50 °C

Material: 

Outer body: Zinc die-cast; Shaft: Steel

Mounting:

 in any position 

Rotation angle max.: 

210°

Radial force P max.: 

200 N

Damping medium:

 Silicone oil

Damping direction: 

Right hand damping = damping action in 

clockwise direction 

(when looking onto the output shaft or output shaft sleeve, 

depending on the damper type). A play of approx. 5° can occur at 

the beginning of movement.

Mounting information: 

Attach the damper at the mounting 

holes in such a way that the part to be braked cannot exert any 

side forces on the damper. An external guide or support of the 

moved part is recommended. Only a limited side load P max (see 

technical data) can be exerted on the shaft. The braking effect 

can take place in both directions (types FYT-H1 and FYT-LA3) 

or in just one direction – top view of the shaft left-hand (L) = 

anticlockwise, right-hand (R) = clockwise. With the single-sided 

dampers a return damping torque occurs in the opposite direction 

depending on type (see catalogue information). The rotary 

dampers have a limited pivoting angle and must not be used as 

an end stop. An external positive stop is to be arranged for both 

limit positions.

Damping torque note: 

The damping torque can be adjusted in 

the area depending on type. The locking screw is to be loosened 

by one or two rotations with the key provided. The damping torque 

can then be adjusted with the adjustment screw. Once the desired 

damping torque is set, retighten the locking screw.

Safety instructions: 

Do not use rotary dampers as supports. 

Provide an external guide or support.
