ACE safety dampers ensure smooth lifting experiments at Technorama Winterthur. BIBUS AG relies on products from ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH for maximum safety and durability.
ACE safety damper
The Swiss Science Centre Technorama in Winterthur has loads of experiment stations where you can experience natural phenomena with all your senses. Among other things, visitors can literally sit on the longer lever and feel the lever forces. This is a special seesaw design where one person can lift up to three others – even if they weigh a lot more together.
To experience the forces for themselves, the person on the longer lever can pull a seat plate that can be moved 3 m to the correct position. Because things often get lively, the team led by workshop manager Jürg Oppliger was keen to design this exhibit to be as safe and durable as possible.
