Our RINGFEDER^® Shock Absorbing Elements of the DEFORM plus^® series effectively protect machines, vehicles and structural components against damage caused by unexpected collisions. The highly damping units made of high-quality thermoplastic absorb kinetic energy and convert it systematically into deformation work. This enables high energy absorption with low weight and minimal installation space. DEFORM plus^® is designed for single-use load cases and achieves damping rates of up to 95 percent. The reversible DEFORM plus^® R and RMP versions automatically return to their original shape after impact and can be used repeatedly. Typical applications include machine tools, wind turbines, vehicles and general machinery, for example as compact overload and collision protection. Easy replacement or reusability, maintenance-free operation, corrosion resistance and good chemical resistance reduce operating expenses and help prevent costly damage and downtime. In addition to the standard range, individually engineered special solutions can be provided for specific energy, force, installation space and environmental requirements.
