About the Airtac ACA Standard Automatic Compensation Hydraulic Shock Absorber ACA2030-1N
The ACA2030-1N is ordered with the N (no cap) option, so the piston rod strikes directly with no cap fitted - the right choice when your machine already provides its own striker button or wear plate at the contact point. Everything else follows the 30 mm, type 1 specification of the AirTAC ACA20 series.
It decelerates fast, light loads at up to 4 m/s with a maximum moving mass of 280 kg, absorbing up to 70 J per cycle and 58000 J per hour through an M20x1.5 fully threaded one-piece body that takes high pressure. The hardened stainless steel rod resists impact and corrosion, and a stop nut plus flange are listed accessories.

How to choose
Choose -1N over ACA2030-1 (plastic cap) and ACA2030-1F (steel cap) when the cap itself is not wanted - for direct rod contact or when your own hardware takes the wear. Keep in mind that type 1 is the fastest of the three speed types; if your load travels at 2 m/s or less and carries more mass, ACA2030-2 or the slow-heavy ACA2030-3 give a wider tuning window than this high-speed version.
Applications
Custom striker interfaces
Lets designers present their own hardened striker or bumper straight to the rod, matching the 4 m/s and 280 kg type 1 envelope.
Compact axes with tight striking points
Suits cramped end-of-travel positions where the moving carriage already carries its own contact element at the right height.
Motion and damping test rigs
Uncovered rod contact gives a clean, repeatable interface for measuring deceleration, with 70 J per cycle and 58000 J per hour available.
FAQ
What are the key specifications of the ACA2030-1N?
Speed type 1 up to 4 m/s on a 30 mm stroke with M20x1.5 thread; maximum moving mass 280 kg; 70 J per cycle and 58000 J per hour; 210 g weight; -5 to +70 C; side load within 3 degrees.
Is the N version missing anything besides the cap?
Only the cap is omitted; the self-compensating hydraulics, 30 mm stroke and hardened stainless piston rod are the same. The stop nut can still turn the stroke end into a positive stop - stop the load 1 mm before the rod bottoms out - and a flange is available as an accessory.
