Industrial shock absorbers - dampers for the industry
By installing a good shock absorber for your industrial machines, you extend the lifespan of the machine and create a more pleasant environment with less noise. In addition, components and wearing parts in the machine last much longer.
Limo offers various types of industrial shock absorbers. Choose from self-compensating shock absorbers, adjustable shock absorbers, emergency stop shock absorbers, buffers, rotational shock absorbers, motion control shock absorbers and various shock absorber accessories.
Industrial shock absorbers for machinery and industry
An industrial shock absorber reduces shocks, vibrations, and noise in industrial machinery. By installing the right shock absorber, you protect machine components, reduce wear, and extend the service life of both machines and tools. The result is lower maintenance costs, greater operational reliability, and a better working environment.
At Limo, you will find a extensive range of industrial shock absorbers, hydraulic dampers, buffers, rotary dampers, motion controls, and emergency stop dampers from market-leading manufacturers. We also assist you in selecting the right solution based on load, speed, and application.
Which shock absorber fits my machine?
Choosing the right shock absorber depends on several factors:
- Machine weight and moving mass
- Impact velocity
- The energy of motion
- Operating frequency
- Ambient temperature
- Mounting position
- Industrial environment (food, chemicals, marine environments, etc.)
If you are unsure which shock absorber fits your machine, our product specialists will help you size the right solution for maximum service life and performance.
How does vibration isolation work?
Vibration isolation involves absorbing vibrations and shocks before they can spread to the machine, structure, or surrounding environment. A correctly sized industrial vibration damper reduces the load on bearings, shafts, mountings, and other sensitive components.
The benefits include, among others:
- Lower noise level
- Reduced vibrations
- Extended machine service life
- Fewer operational disruptions
- Lower maintenance costs
- Improved work environment
Industrial vibration dampers
Industrial vibration dampers are used in everything from production lines and robotic cells to conveyors, packaging machines, and heavy processing machinery. Our solutions are designed to absorb both continuous vibrations and severe shocks under high loads.

The stainless steel industrial shock absorbers are also available as adjustable models and can be supplied with food-grade oil.
TK miniature shock absorber
The TK is a very small and compact industrial shock absorber for installations with limited space.
XR – Extreme service life, even at high temperatures
The XR series is designed for high temperatures and over 10 million operating cycles. These industrial shock absorbers are used in sectors such as the glass and plastics industries, where service life requirements are very high.
Buffer shock absorber
HDN / HDNA Customized and adjustable buffer
Buffers developed for very high forces, therefor often used in:
- Overhead cranes
- Cranes
- Railway
- Heavy industry
The built-in accumulator ensures rapid and safe return; a wide range of mounting options and position sensors are available.
HI and crane buffer
A buffer is intended for applications in stressful environments and with large forces. The HI buffer has a built-in accumulator with a high return spring force that guarantees a safe return. Typical areas of use are cranes, traverses and railways.
Jarret shock absorber / buffer
Energy absorption and return spring functions to be combined into a single industrial buffer without the need for an additional gas or mechanical spring stroke return mechanism. This simple industrial buffer design is robust and simple yet durable and effective at supplying critical stopping capabilities in a multitude of applications.
