Damping Rings – Effective Vibration and Shock Absorption for Technical Applications

Damping rings are specialized sealing elements primarily used to reduce vibrations, shocks, and noise. They are employed in many industrial applications—particularly where movements need to be decelerated in a controlled manner and components must be protected from mechanical overload. Whether in hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic systems, or mechanical engineering components—damping rings significantly improve the service life and efficiency of your systems.

Thanks to their flexible geometry and elastic material properties, damping rings act as buffers between moving parts. They absorb kinetic energy and prevent hard impacts at the end of the stroke—especially during fast or frequent movement cycles. They are typically used in combination with piston and guide seals or as an integral part of cylinder systems.

Depending on the application, they are made from wear-resistant polyurethane (PU), NBR, or other high-performance plastics and stand out for their high dimensional stability, pressure resistance, and temperature tolerance.

Benefits of our damping rings at a glance:

• Effective shock and vibration damping
