What happens when shock absorbers are used in very low ambient temperatures ?
When used in ambient temperatures below our quoted limits, the type of particular hydraulic fluid and its characteristic to viscous change, due to temperature change, will be the key criteria in how able the shock absorber performs. Ace can select the most temperature stable hydraulic fluids and then run simulation performance curves at your particular application criteria and low ambient temperature to investigate the predicted deceleration capability, efficiency and adjustment setting or self compensating suffix required, please consult Ace we can help you select the best available solution for these difficult environments.
