More Information
Summary:A device for absorbing kinetic energy derived from an element oscillating in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the device. The device has a housing coupled to the oscillating member and defining a chamber bounded by opposite inner end walls and an inner lateral wall of the housing. The inner end walls are generally transverse to and the inner lateral wall is generally parallel with the axis of the device. An oscillation quencher body which is situated in the chamber, has opposite end faces oriented towards respective inner end walls and a lateral face oriented towards the inner lateral wall. A resiliently deformable impact member is situated between each end face of the body and a respective inner end wall of the housing. Further, at least one groove is provided in the lateral face of the body. The groove has a length generally transverse to and a width generally parallel with the device axis. A compressible solid rolling body is received in the groove and engages the inner lateral wall of the housing.
