HYDRAULIC SNUBBERS (Shock Arrestors)

BG310

Introduction The purpose of Hydraulic Snubbers or Shock Arrestors is to allow slow movement due to thermal expansion while protecting piping systems and equipment from accidental damage arising from abnormal loading or movement conditions, due to a shock force or vibration such as experienced during seismic disturbance. The Snubbers are capable of generating the required vibration control force between the input frequency range of 1 Hz to 33Hz. Snubber units are designed for a minimum expected life of 20,000 cycles. Peak to peak dynamic stiffness (Spring Rate) of each size-stroke of the Snubber main unit is : Stroke Size Typical applications include control of : Seismic disturbance Pipe or equipment mechanical failure Fluid surge Water hammer BG310 300kg BG310 600kg BG310 1,000kg BG310 3,000kg BG310 6,000kg BG310 10,000kg BG310 16,000kg BG310 25,000kg Dynamic Spring Rate (kg/mm) 160 or less 250 or over 450 or over 650 or over 1500 or over 3000 or over 5000 or over 7000 or over 8000 or over 161 250 mm 150 or over 300 or over 450 or over 1000 or over 2000 or over 3000 or over 4500 or over 6500 or over

The major advantages of the Binder Hydraulic Snubber are : The oil reservoir is contained inside the cylinder casing of the Snubber to reduce the number of sealed connections thus eliminating the possibility of oil leakage. With the unique design of a built in accumulator, the volume difference in the hydraulic chambers can be self adjusted without any moving parts, thus significantly eliminating the possibility of mechanical problems and oil leakage. As part of the valve mechanism, a leakage plug is provided to release air bubbles generated from the fluid inside the hydraulic chamber by being effected by radiation or other environmental conditions. Any kind of hydraulic fluid can generate bubbles of air throughout the service period of the Snubber. Bubbles must be removed from the pressure chamber to maintain the required stiffness of the unit. Units are factory preset to the design stroke position, enabling the assembly to be installed without complex site work. High Durable metallic seals are used in the Snubbers. A colour coded stroke indicator provides easy in service inspection of the Snubbers Design Characteristics Seals are durable against 1.5 times the inner pressure level. A spherical bearing is fitted to each end part of the Snubber assembly allowing a maximum of 15 degrees angular offset. Drag force (frictional resistance) throughout the overall stroke range is less than 2% of the rated load or 50kg, whichever is the greater at the input velocity of 1mm/sec. Bleed rate (release rate) under a lateral loading mode is 0.5mm/sec.

Snubbers maintain their normal performance through a temperature range of -15C and +60C. Recommended regular maintenance service (replacement of sealing parts, etc.) for the units is once every 10 years. Snubber for use in radiation affected areas are available on request. Assemblies:

The hydraulic Snubber can be supplied as an assembly incorporating the specially designed Binder Pipe Clamps (BG320, BG321 & BG322) and BG315 End attachments. Finish: Surface preparation - SSPC-SP-3 Prime Coat Synthetic resin primer Min DFT 30mm Top Coat Aluminum Paint Min DFT 30mm Other finishes are not available.

Ordering : Please quote Part ID number from the tables below for the required load capacity and stroke (Snubber size). There are two types available. FA Fixed Assemble. See Table 1 EA Extendable Assembly. See Table 2. The Extendable Assembly is supplied with a connecting pipe, this is cut on site to the correct length and then welded to the junction column. When selecting the unit, 50mm reserve travel should be added to the design travel : i.e. 55mm design travel + 50mm Reserve = 105mm therefore a size 160 unit is required. Note : L dimension refers to the Snubber unit in mid travel.
