Stainless steel as a corrosion barrier

For over 60 years, ACE Controls has been at the forefront of engineering innovation, designing exceptional motion control solutions that have become indispensable in a multitude of industries.

Providing critical corrosion resistance within the food, medical, electronics and marine industries, stainless steel dampers are not only useful, but a prerequisite for efficient equipment operation.

ACE Controls' stainless steel dampers demonstrate their commitment to providing motion control solutions that meet the complex and varied needs of each industry, ensuring that their operations are safe, efficient and durable.

Corrosion resistance, i.e. the ability to withstand degradation caused by the operating environment, is essential for many industries.

In the food industry, for example, dampers must be able to withstand both edible materials and cleaning solutions.
In the medical field, components must be able to withstand sterilization processes and corrosive body fluids without affecting the patient or staff. Similarly, in the electronics industry, components must withstand humid and potentially corrosive environments, while martial applications demand durability in the face of salt water and extreme weather conditions.

The high-chromium stainless steel used in ACE Controls' solutions guarantees a robust, self-healing protective layer against corrosion.

The integration of self-compensating technology is another important feature that enables these components to adapt to varying energy conditions, guaranteeing consistent performance without manual adjustment. If you're interested in a specific application, you can find out more about these innovative solutions below:

    • Miniature dampers (MC150-V4A to MC600-V4A): These are high-performance stainless steel dampers featuring self-compensating technology and rolling diaphragms.
Ideal for a wide range of applications, including medical and electrical engineering, marine, packaging and the chemical industry, these dampers can also be filled with food-grade oil for food processing applications.

    • Industrial dampers (MC33-V4A to MC64-V4A): Designed for optimum protection against corrosion, these dampers are made from stainless steel (AISI 316L) and feature self-compensating technology. They feature robust sealing and an integrated positive stop, making them suitable for demanding applications in the food, medical, electronics and marine sectors.
