Specialty materials includes specialty or proprietary materials that are not part of other areas.

Shock absorbers, linear dampers, and dashpots provide motion damping in linear applications. They frequently incorporate fluid dampening, and can include mechanical or elastomeric elements

Gas springs provide controlled motion and speed for elements, such as lids and doors, that open and close.

Rotary dampers absorb and slow rotary motion for the mitigation of vibration, noise, and machine component wear

Specialty shock and vibration control products are specialty or proprietary products and accessories related to shock and vibration absorption.

Hydraulic accumulators use an incompressible fluid and a compressed gas, spring or raised mass to store energy, absorb shock, eliminate noise, and counter-balance loads

Inertial and gyro systems use a combination of accelerometers and angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) to detect altitude, location, and motion. They may also be capable of detecting attitude, position, velocity, temperature, or magnetic field.

Speed controls, including speed regulators and rate controllers, are used to decelerate and regulate the speed of loads such as moving carriages and machining feeds near the end of their travel.

Air springs use a contained column of air inside an elastomeric bellows or sleeve to buffer cyclic motion, provide vibration isolation, or serve as a pneumatic actuator.

Resonators are frequency-selective electronic circuits that can produce a fixed (resonant) frequency when properly excited. The value of the resonant frequency depends on the circuit’s components (e.g., inductors, resistors, capacitors, crystals, etc

Shock and vibration (dynamics) testing services or dynamics testing of a finished product or component using shock, sine and random vibration or other dynamic test conditions.

Bumpers are elastomeric hardware devices used for edge protection, cushioning, and impact absorption.

Shock and impact sensors are devices that detect sudden or severe impacts at a predetermined level and indicate whether the level has been exceeded.

Helium neon (HeNe) lasers have an emission that is determined by neon atoms by virtue of a resonant transfer of excitation of helium. They operate continuously in the red, infrared and far-infrared regions and emit highly monochromatic radiation

Noise control products passively control vibrations or noise through absorption or dampening (e.g., mufflers, silencers or baffles).
