Enertrols, Inc. was founded in 1973 to design and manufacture high-performance industrial hydraulic shock absorbers. Recognizing the need for a shock absorber with the ability to withstand the high cycle rates of modern automated manufacturing lines, we designed and built our first shocks to do just that. These high-quality shocks were sturdy enough to operate over a long period of time under all kinds of adverse conditions with little or no maintenance. As a result, Enertrols (our name combines Energy and Controls) has grown from a small local manufacturer to a position as a leading international supplier of deceleration devices to all major industries.
The introduction of our Gold Line Series gave industry a proven source of reliable and rugged high-performance shock absorbers. Enertrols began setting the pace with an industry "first" with its debut of the high-capacity Gold Line (TM) Series in 1983. A year later, we introduced the first Prox Shock (TM), which featured an on-board proximity sensor.
Mounting Stop Collars (MSC) and Positive Stop Collars (PSC) for Gold Line shocks were added in 1986. They were followed in 1988 by our unique SILVERLINE Series, industry's first low-velocity shock absorber, capable of working efficiently in slow-moving, high effective weight conditions.
Enertrols large 4" Bore Series and a line of Standard Mounting Plates & Brackets for Primary Mount Series, were new items in 1989.
To kick off the '90's, Enertrols introduced a new series of miniature, full threaded-body, adjustable shock absorbers. Double-acting Dampers and other special-purpose shock absorbers were also new in 1990. That same year saw us introduce a milestone in our industry; the first Five-Year Warranty on industrial hydraulic shock absorbers, covering our Gold Line and SILVERLINE Series.
1993 saw the addition of a line of non-adjustable, miniature, "self-compensating" shock absorbers, featuring full threaded-body design in seven different models. Our newest addition is a 1/2" bore full threaded-body adjustable shock.
All enertrols products are available in a wide range of models and sizes at very competitive prices with on-time delivery--world-wide. We back that up with experienced sales, engineering, manufacturing and service personnel--world-wide. You will find us represented in all major industrial markets--world wide.
We have a complete product line with over 60 standard shock absorber models with capacities from 25 to over 1 1/2 million inch-pounds per cycle. Most models can be equipped with internal accumulators as self-contained units, or equipped with external accumulators and air/oil tanks for maximum heat capacity. They are available in both adjustable and nonadjustable types in all of the basic standard mounting styles. In addition, we offer industry a choice of primary or welded fixed- flange mounting models in most bore and stroke sizes. Special application models, such as our PROX SHOCK™ line equipped with position-sensing electronic proximity switches, the QCM™ (Quick-Change Mount) Models, Standard Long-Stroke Models and designed-to-order specials are also available. QUALITY ASSURANCE Every component produced for Enertrols products receives inspection coverage to assure conformance with all the requirements, specifications and drawings of our products. Enertrols believes that the reliability requirements of our shock absorbers preclude any compromise in the quality of any component part. Enertrols engineering department controls all product drawings and specifications with a system that assures the latest information will be available to, and at the time and place of, inspection. Final inspection is performed on all manufactured parts and processes in accordance with applicable purchase orders, work orders, drawings and specifications. A sampling plan that is in accordance with mil spec MIL-105 1 05-D is used by inspectors whenever feasible to assure the acceptance of quality parts only. All completed assemblies and shock absorbers are inspected for quality and performance prior to shipment. Approved units are then properly packaged to prevent damage during transit.
