- Thread size
  
  Damper fastening screw male thread size (external diameter). Other thread sizes on request.
- Fixed stop
- Adjustability
- Head:
  Note: The head must also be ordered using the order number of the shock absorber.
- Without
  
  The moved mass is applied directly to the piston rod.
- Steel (S)
  
  Using a steel head reduces the contact pressure during impact due to the enlarged surface. The steel head is mostly used for soft opposing materials on the other side.
- Plastic (K)
  
  Using a plastic head is recommended for reducing the amount of noise that is generated.
- Bellows (B)
  Use in a dirty environment.
  
  Offers protection from liquids such as coolants, oil mist and cleaning agents, as well as protection from chips and dirt.
  
  Use in a clean room environment: Prevents the escape of particles.
