Hydrosnubbers

The PAT Hydrosnubber

PAT Hydrosnubbers are used to decelerate the actuator descent at the point of part contact, resulting in controlled velocity during the ultrasonic operation.

The benefits of using controlled part contact have been proven for many ultrasonic applications. The ability to precisely control the actuator descent during the ultrasonic welding, staking, swaging or insertion application has resulted in improved appearance, consistent results and better performance.

Features:
Control of the actuator descent results in a “soft
touch” that is required for many applications.
Hydrosnubbers can be used to increase the
actuator down speed prior to contacting the part.
This results in an improved cycle rate.
The PAT Hydrosnubbers are easy to install
on your existing Branson welders.
No drilling and tapping is required to install PAT
