What happens when shock absorbers are used in very high ambient temperatures ?
When used in ambient temperatures above our quoted limits, the hydraulic fluid starts to break down, the encapsulated air in the return accumulator expands above its design volume then eventually the rod seals start to melt and the shock absorber loses its fluid. During this cycle of catastrophic events the efficiency of the shock absorber to function deteriorates towards its final inevitable failure. Ace has a range of high temperature shock absorbers available just for applications with high ambient temperatures, please consult Ace we can help you select the best available solution for these difficult environments.
