Shock absorbers
RESTON-SA
Seismic devices
Characteristics
Protect from sudden dynamic loading & shocks
Can be designed and optimized for less or more frequent actions
Work in a wide range of temperatures
Can work in parallel with anti-seismic isolators
Principle
mageba RESTON-SA hydraulic dampers are used to dissipate the large amounts of energy that result from sudden dynamic loading (e.g. from earthquakes or from the braking of trains or heavy road vehicles). In normal conditions, however, they permit free movement between the structure’s parts.
Applications
RESTON-SA hydraulic dampers are used to dissipate high horizontal forces in structures. They can be used in the construction of new structures, or to enhance an existing structure’s strength and resistance to seismic forces.
The sealing is the most critical element of the entire hydraulic system
