Linkage: Load Capacity 500-5000 N, Stroke Length 10-200 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

A linkage in damper systems is a rigid mechanical component that connects moving parts to transmit motion, force, or torque. It typically consists of rods, levers, or pivoting joints that convert input motion into controlled output movement, enabling precise adjustment of damping characteristics in industrial machinery.

Working Principle

Operates on kinematic principles where rigid links connected by joints create constrained motion. In dampers, linkages translate rotational or linear input into controlled damping force through lever arms, pivots, or sliding mechanisms, often amplifying or reducing motion according to mechanical advantage ratios.

Materials

Typically carbon steel (AISI 1045/4140), stainless steel (304/316), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or engineered polymers (POM, PEEK) for corrosion resistance and strength.
