{"title":"Shock Absorber Impact Heads","description":"\u003cp\u003eImpact heads screw onto the piston rod of a pneumatic shock absorber and present a hardened striking face to the moving mass. They spread the impact over a defined contact area, protect the rod tip, and standardise the contact geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout an impact head, the moving mass strikes the bare piston rod directly. A point or off-axis hit can mar the rod, drive contamination past the rod seal, and shorten absorber life. The head accepts that damage instead and is replaceable on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat-faced heads suit parallel-faced loads. Domed heads accept some angular misalignment and are common on swinging arms and pivoting carriers. Heads for miniature absorbers are typically plastic snap-on caps; mid-range and large-bore absorbers use threaded steel caps that take direct heavy impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/2433\/5828\/collections\/p49t6_00_v1.jpg?v=1783821094","url":"https:\/\/tameson.co.uk\/collections\/shock-absorber-impact-heads-327598.oembed","provider":"Tameson.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
