6.1.2 Bypass function
The Adjustable Energy series has an internal bypass whose opening can be manually adjusted from the outside using a
knurled nut.
The adjustment of the additional throttle cross-section allows the product to be used over the entire speed range. This is
only possible for products from the Mini Energy, Standard Energy and High Energy series using preset degrees of
hardness.
Level 0
The bypass is completely closed.
Closed position
Open position
0% flow
100% flow
This allows the maximum energy absorption in the speed range of the
Hard (H) degree of hardness.
Levels 1–4
The bypass is partially open.
For softer damping operations, as higher speeds are approached or for
lower energy absorption levels, the bypass must be opened.
Level 5
The bypass is completely open.
Using this setting, the highest speed or the lowest speed is possible.
It is not possible to assign a degree of hardness from stage 0–5.
6.2 Ambient temperature
The force of the product and thus the shock absorber characteristic curve and energy absorption depend on the viscosity
and density of the oil and thus on the ambient temperature.
• At lower ambient temperatures, the viscosity and density of the oil increase, which can result in higher forces and energy
absorption levels per stroke.
• The low ambient temperature can be counteracted due to the heating of the product as a result of damping using a
corresponding cycle time in continuous operation.
• At higher ambient temperatures, the viscosity and density of the oil decrease, which can result in lower forces and lower
maximum energy absorption per stroke.
6.3 Energy absorption per hour
NOTICE
Material damage from overheating of the product
►
Make sure that the energy absorption per hour does not exceed the maximum energy absorption.
The energy absorption per hour at which the product is placed under load results from the energy absorption per stroke
and the cycle time in continuous operation.
