Buffers Key benefits Protects equipment and surfaces: absorbs impact, reduces shock and vibration to prevent damage and extend service life. Improves performance and reliability: minimizes noise, wear, and movement for smoother operation. Simple integration: designed to act as a dropin protection or spacing component where shock damping or isolation is required. What buffers do Serve as energyabsorbing elements between moving parts or between a component and its mounting surface. Reduce transmitted force, dampen impact, and limit travel or contact to prevent mechanical damage. Provide consistent cushioning that maintains alignment and reduces maintenance frequency. Important attributes (check exact model details before ) Function: shock absorption, vibration damping, spacing/stop limitation. Compatibility: intended to be used with compatible equipment and mounting arrangements; verify fit with your specific model or assembly. Size and form: available in multiple sizes and shapes to suit different applications; confirm dimensions for proper fit. Material: constructed from materials chosen for durability and damping (rubber, elastomer, or other resilient compounds); material selection affects hardness and longevity. Performance: rated to withstand repeated impacts and provide consistent damping; specific load and deflection characteristics depend on the buffer model. Installation and maintenance Install in the intended orientation and secure to recommended mounting points. Inspect periodically for wear, cracking, or loss of elasticity; when performance degrades. Clean with mild detergent; avoid solvents that may degrade resilient materials. Typical applications Machinery stops and endoftravel cushioning: installed at stroke limits to absorb impact and protect frames, gears, and sensors. Cabinet, door, or enclosure cushioning: reduces noise and prevents hard contact that can damage panels or hardware. Vibration isolation for equipment: placed between a device and its mount to reduce transmitted vibration and protect sensitive components. Buying guidance Confirm the buffer's dimensions, material hardness, and mounting style match your application requirements. If your use involves temperatures, chemicals, or heavy loads, select a buffer material and model specified for those conditions. Reliable, purposebuilt buffers help prevent damage, reduce maintenance, and improve the operational life of equipment when matched to the correct size and material for the application.
