Buffers What it does Absorbs impact and reduces shock, protecting equipment, surfaces, and components from damage. Dampens vibration and reduces noise caused by movement or contact. Provides a soft, controlled stop to moving parts to prevent wear and improve longevity. Key benefits (why you need it) Protects valuables and machinery by dissipating energy from collisions and repeated contact. Extends the life of hinges, doors, equipment mounts, and fragile components by reducing stress. Improves user experience by minimizing noise and smoothing mechanical movement. Simple to install and , lowering maintenance time and downtime. Important attributes Function: Shock absorption, vibration damping, and cushioning for contact points and mounts. Compatibility: Works with a wide range of applications where cushioning or isolation is needed; compatible with common mounting methods (adhesive, screw, pressfit) depending on the version chosen. Size: Available in standard sizes to suit small to medium contact points; select the size that matches the application's footprint and stroke. Material: Commonly made from elastomers such as rubber, polyurethane, or silicone for durable, resilient performance; material choice affects hardness, wear resistance, and temperature tolerance. Performance: Provides reliable energy absorption, repeatable compression response, and long service life under normal operating conditions. Practical applications / use scenarios Cabinet and door protection: Install at hinge or latch points to soften closing, reduce noise, and prevent paint chipping or surface damage. Equipment and machinery isolation: Use as feet or mounts to reduce transmitted vibration and noise from compressors, pumps, or small motors. Electronics and fragile components: Place buffers at support points or between moving parts to protect circuit boards, displays, and delicate assemblies from impact or shock during operation or transport. Selection and installation tips Choose a material hardness (durometer) appropriate to the load and desired softness: softer materials for gentle cushioning, firmer materials for higher load support. Match buffer size to the contact area and expected compression range; too small a buffer concentrates load, too large may reduce travel. Check mounting method: select adhesivebacked, screwmounted, or pressfit types based on the substrate and restoration requirements. Inspect periodically for wear, cracking, or permanent deformation and when performance degrades. Why this product stands out Reliable protection and consistent damping behavior across repeated cycles. Versatile choice for a broad set of environments and uses. Easy to fit and maintain, reducing downtime and preventing costly repairs. If you need assistance choosing the right buffer for a specific application, match the expected load, travel, and environmental conditions (temperature, exposure to oils/chemicals) to the material and size options available.
