Shock-Absorbing Materials in Forging Hammer Operations

Introduction

Shock-absorbing materials are laminated material with multiple layers of Neoprene impregnated, tightly twisted, closely woven, light weight fabric having equal strength in warp and weft and are designed to cushion the impact from forging hammers, which helps to reduce transfer of force towards nearby structures and equipment. Since the materials act like a shock absorber, they provide a barrier and absorb energy dispersed into vibrations and noise. Their effectiveness allows forging operations to proceed with minimal disruption, thereby extending the lifespan of equipment and maintaining the integrity of industrial floors and foundations. One preferred solution in this area is Super Shock Absorbing Pad.

Resistoflex's Super Shock Absorbing Pad : A Solution for Forge Hammer Isolation

The Super Shock Absorbing Pad offered by Resistoflex is engineered specifically for isolating forging hammers. These pads are made from high-performance specialized material with multiple layers of Neoprene impregnated fabric to withstand heavy shock impacts. Here’s how they contribute to forging hammer operations:

• Superior Energy Absorption: The Super Shock Absorbing Pad is designed to absorb the substantial energy generated through forging hammer operations. This leads to reduced stress on machinery and foundations, ultimately lowering maintenance costs.
• Durability and Longevity: The materials used in these Shock Absorbing Pad pads have high resistant to wear and tear, even in the harsh environments typical of forging operations. Their durability ensures long-term performance, making them a cost-effective solution.
• Noise Reduction: In addition to vibration control, the Super Shock Absorbing Pad also provides a reduction in the noise level making the workplace safer and more comfortable for workers.
• Versatility: The pad can be customized to fit different sizes and types of forging hammers, making it adaptable to a wide range of industrial needs.

Industry Insights: Forging Hammer Isolation Solutions

Resistoflex, Super Shock Absorbing Pads offer benefits, combining proven materials with advanced engineering to create solutions that address the concerns. Whether you operate a small forging shop or a large forging plant, using Resistoflex Super Shock Absorbing Pads is highly recommended for maintaining operational efficiency, minimizing downtime, and ensuring safety.

Spring Viscous Damper V/s Resistoflex Super Shock Absorbing Pad

Spring Viscous Damper consists of high deflection springs and Viscous Damping fluid. Spring has tendency to get compressed at high shock force while viscous damping material generally coast down the motion. However this will also generally will resist to regain the original position at shorter time after the impact. This greatly reduces the hammer efficiency.

Comparatively, Resistoflex Super Shock Absorbing Pad consist of multiple layer of Neoprene impregnated, closely woven, tightly twisted, light weight having equal strength in wrap and weft with very high compressive strength which provides the cushioning of the shock impact and shock force passes through the multiple layer of the fabric for greater attenuation and does not affect the impact force on the anvil.
