Clamp and Safety Systems
Special Catalogue
Edition 10.2007
Editorial
2 Dear Customer,
Dear Reader,
The current key words in the 21st century are ”Process costs“. ACE offers, with
an extensive range of safety models, a broad pallet of solutions for increased
service life, readily available for machines to lower process costs. According to a
recent study approximately a third of all stoppages necessitate extensive repairs
and identify unexpected damage to machinery.
The installation of ACE safety equipment decrea-
Machine Failures* ses the forces occurring when problems such as,
power failure, programming error, erroneous
maintenance set up switching or other problems occur when in the
initial set-up routine. All elements of the ACE
emergency stops are independent of the power
repair reconditioning supply and are not dependent on any part of the
30,4% machinery that they protect and thus act as an in-
dependent brake system for the respective drives.
*Origin: VDMA, Abt. Bw The clamping elements react in the shortest possible response time by the paten-
ted pneumatic pre-loading of the system of the spring plates in the diaphragm.
These safety systems are permanently operational for the maximum machine
protection.
ACE focusses with this special catalogue on the challenges of this area of appli-
cations for emergency stops and successfully supplements the existing ACE pro-
duct program. The following pages contain the potential to successfully identify
a solution when clamping or braking moving masses. In addition to the proven
SCS33 to 64 and the TUBUS series, ACE shows in these pages the series SCS300
to 650, the newest and smallest generation of safety shock absorbers and with
the innovative ACE LOCKED series L, P and R, the range permits clamping on
machine rails, or piston rods and axis.
Further information on the ACE world of industrial
absorption technology can be found in the current
main catalogue or at the ACE International home-
page under www.acecontrols-int.com.

ACE LOCKED-Series Type L Released
The chamber between the two flexible spring steel diaphragms is filled with compressed air. The spring plates deform
and the horizontal dimension shortens. This causes the clamp shoe mounting plates to move away from the rail,
releasing the clamps and permitting free movement.
Example: STAR/Rexroth-installation Example: NSK-installation

ACE LOCKED-Series Type L Engaged
The compressed air in the chamber between the two flexible spring steel diaphragms is released. The spring plates
return to their original position increasing the horizontal dimension. This causes the clamp mounts to move towards
the rail, applying the clamping shoe.

LOCKED-Series Type L Extension Unit
Pneumatic Surface Clamping
The extension unit LOCKED-Series L

from ACE enables pneumatic clamping
adjacent to the precision rail.
The ACE LOCKED-L extension units

are identical for all standard rail manu-
facturers.
Due to the side mounting at the

12 carriage, the need for mounting space
is minimised.
This, in comparison to other systems,

is a cost effective alternative offering
medium clamping forces of up to 800 N.
A spring-brake actuator assures safe

and secure clamping in case of a power
failure. This clamping element can also
be used for rails with a measuring
system.

Operational Principle "We recommend to

always install two clamping elements
to avoid torque movements
of the carriage."
LOCKED-L Extension Released
The chamber between the two spring-steel diaphragms

is filled with compressed air, so that the spring plates are
elastically deformed and the whole system contracts. Due
to contraction, the brake plate moves upwards and the
carriage can move freely.
The space between brake plate and base at 5 bar is ap-

prox. 0.05 mm. Due to the accuracy of the precision rails,
13
the distance between carriage and base is very stable,
and the space of 0.05 mm is suitable.
LOCKED-L Extension Engaged
The air pressure in the chamber between the two spring-

steel diaphragms is released. The energy accumulated in
the spring plates causes an expansion of the brake elements
on to the machine base.
When the brake plates contact the base, a large part of the
energy is still present in the spring brake actuator. The
carriage is clamped tightly.
General Information for

ACE LOCKED Series
• Exceeding the permissible operating pressure may lead to damage of the clamping unit.
• Clamping units are not designed to secure floating loads.
• Dirt, oil, and grease on the surface of the brake plates and the system affect the holding forces.
• Clamping elements may only be used according to technical specifications.
• The chosen compressed air is to be maintained throughout the entire service life.
• Regulations of the BG or other controlling institutes as well as technical regulations are to be adhered to.
• Further information can be taken from the mounting and operating manuals in the download areas of the
ACE Homepage at www.acecontrols-int.com.

Pneumatic Rod Clamping
LOCKED-P Released
The chambers between the spring steel diaphragms are
filled with compressed air. The diaphragms are elastically
deformed and at the same time shortened in the radial di-
rection. Since the spring steel diaphragms are slotted in
the inner diameter, the diameter enlarges, the clamping
sleeve springs radially outwards, and the rod is released.
17
LOCKED-P Activated
The air pressure in the chamber between the spring steel
diaphragms is released. The diaphragms spring back into
their normal position. They press the slotted clamping
sleeve against the rod, thereby clamping against it. This
ensures optimum safety clamping.
Models LOCKED-P
Standard model ACE LOCKED-P
The ACE LOCKED-P standard model is the basis for the entire range. The basic function, as described above, is found
in all models. The body dimensions and the bore sizes are designed to suit the individual pneumatic cylinder types.
This model range is highly flexible due to the tiered bore diameters for corresponding rod diameters. In addition this
flexibility is increased by its intelligent modular design. The clamping force can be easily increased by applying several
clamping units together. By arranging "X" number of clamping units between the base and cover plates, "X" times the
clamping force can be obtained.
For the standard model, the corresponding nominal size for the following rod diameters are possible:
Nominal size 63 mm: 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm and 20 mm

Nominal size 80 mm: 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 24 mm and 25 mm
Nominal size 125 mm: 28 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, 35 mm, 36 mm and 40 mm
ACE LOCKED-P model for ISO pneumatic cylinders
The base and cover plates for this model are matched to the flange dimensions of the corresponding ISO cylinders.
Due to the difference with ISO cylinders, this model is constructed larger than the above described model. The corre-
sponding dimensions can be taken from the data sheet on the next page. The middle clamping unit is identical to the
standard model.
Note: The nominal stroke of the applicable ISO pneumatic cylinder is reduced according to the construction length of
the clamping unit. End-of-travel damping is not applicable.

Repair Notice

26 absorbers should be performed or checked by ACE. are any doubts as to the proper functioning of the unit
please send the unit for service to ACE. Alternatively con-
Mounting tact your local ACE office for further advice.
To mount the shock absorber, we recommend the use of
original ACE mounting accessories shown in catalogue.
The mounting of each shock absorber must be exactly po-
sitioned so that the reaction force (Q) can be adequately
transmitted into the mounting structure.
The damper must be mounted so that the moving loads
are decelerated with the least possible side loading to the
piston rod. The maximum permissable side load angles
are detailed in our current catalogue.
The entire stroke length must be used for deceleration
because only using part of the stroke can lead to
overstressing and damage to the unit.
Environmental Requirements
The permissible temperature range for each shock
absorber type can be found in our current catalogue.
CAUTION: Useage outside the specified temperature
range can lead to premature breakdown and damage of
of the shock absorbers which can then result in severe
system damage or machine failures.
Trouble free operation outdoors or in damp environments
is only warranted if the dampers are coated with a specific
corrosion protection finish. Issue 10.2007 Specifications subject to change
Fixed Mechanical Stop

Safety shock absorbers do not need an external mechanical
stop. The stroke of the safety shock absorber is limited
by the stop collar.
What Needs to be Checked after a Full Load Impact?

Safety shock absorbers that were originally checked only
at reduced speed or load need to be checked again after a
full load impact (i.e. Emergency use) has occurred.
Check that the piston rod fully extends to it's full out posi-
tion, that there are no signs of oil leakage and that the
mounting hardware is still securely fixed.
You need to satisfy yourself that no damage has occurred
to the piston rod, the body, or the mounting hardware.
If no damage has occurred, the safety shock absorber can
be put back into normal operation.

damping performance over a temper-
ature range of -40°C to 90°C.
The low installed weight, the econom-
ic price and the long operating life of
up 1 million cycles make this an at-
tractive alternative to hydraulic end
position damping, if the moving mass
does not have to stop in an exact da-
tum position and it is not necessary to
absorb 100 % of the incoming energy.
The space-saving package size ranges
from ø 12 mm up to ø 116 mm and is
very simply and quickly installed with
the supplied specially stepped mount-
ing screw.
The TA series have been specially de-
veloped to provide Maximum Energy
28 Capacity in the Minimum Mounting
Space in the capacity range from
2 Nm up to 2 000 Nm.
Life expectancy is extremely high; up

to twenty times longer than for ure-
thane dampers, up to ten times longer
than rubber bumpers and up to five Mounting Screw
times longer than steel springs.
Overload capacity: For emergency use only (1 cycle) it is

possible to exceed the W3 rating by + 40%.
Environment: Resistant to oil, grease, seawater and to
microbe or chemical attack. Excellent UV and ozone resist-
ance. Material does not absorb water or swell.

TUBUS-Series
Overview of Profile Dampers
Physical Properties of TUBUS Profile Dampers ACE TUBUS Profile Dampers are high performance
damping elements made from a special Co-Polyester
Elastomer.They have a high energy absorbing capacity
compared with other materials.
The TUBUS-series comprises 5 main types with over
80 individual models.
The excellent damping characteristics are achieved as
a result of the special elastomer material and the
worldwide patented construction design. This enables
us to change the characteristics of the elastomer
material so that individual and distinct damping cur-
ves are possible.
TUBUS dampers offer a considerable performance
Energy Capacity Operating Lifetime Energy Capacity advantage when compared to other materials such as
per unit weight per unit volume rubber, urethanes (PUR) and steel springs.
PUR Rubber TUBUS

A further advantage compared to other damping ele-
ments is the operating life expectancy – up to twenty
times longer than with urethane dampers, up to ten
times longer than with rubber dampers and up to five
times longer than with steel spring dampers.
Comparison of Damping Characteristics The innovative TUBUS dampers absorb energy while
exhibiting the following damping characteristics:

please request a static characteristic curve.
The material does not absorb water or swell and it is highly Special Dampers
resistant to abrasion. Products of the TUBUS-series will

work at temperatures of -40°C up to 90°C and are resistant Besides the standard product range of the TUBUS-series
to grease, oil, petroleum fluids, microbe and chemical there are also a large number of special products avail-

resistance. The very long service life of up to one million
cycles, the compact size and the low unit weight differen-
tiate the TUBUS profile dampers from all other types of
elastomer damping elements.
If you are looking for an economic damping solution where
the load does not need to be decelerated to an exact
datum position and you do not need 100 % absorption
of the impact energy then TUBUS dampers are a real alter-
native to hydraulic end position damping. They are
the preferred solution for end stop dampers in robotic sy-
stems, high bay warehouse systems and all similar auto-
mated plant and machinery.

LOCKED-Series Type R
Pneumatic Rotational Clamping
Operational Principle
LOCKED-R Released
The chamber between the two ring-shaped spring steel

membranes is filled with compressed air and the inside
ring is thereby elastically expanded. Due to the resulting
shape and the fact that the membranes are radially slotted
outwardly at the inner diameter, the clamping can spring
back to its original (released) position.
The enlargement of the diameters frees the shaft, and
movement without resistance is possible. The increased
diameter results from the tolerance between shaft and the
LOCKED-R element.
LOCKED-R Engaged
The air pressure in the chamber between both ring-shaped

diaphragms is released. The diaphragms' return force pres-
ses the clamping surface back into contact with the shaft.
The spring-brake actuator affects the clamping and needs
no additional energy.
