Buffers What this product does Absorbs shock, reduces vibration, and cushions impact to protect parts, equipment, and surfaces. Prevents direct metaltometal contact, reduces wear, and cuts noise from repeated impacts or movement. Provides a simple, reliable way to extend service life of assemblies and improve operational stability. Key benefits — why you need it Protects components: cushions sensitive parts from impact and reduces stress on fasteners and joints. Lowers noise and vibration: improves user comfort and reduces fatigue for equipment. Saves maintenance time and cost: minimizes damage and wear, reducing replacements and repairs. Easy to integrate: compatible with common fastening methods and installation areas. Important attributes Function: designed for shock absorption, spacing, isolating, and impact control in assemblies. Compatibility: works with a wide range of housings, panels, machinery, electronics enclosures, and consumer products; available in forms that accept adhesive, screw, pushfit, or pressfit installation. Size: offered in multiple diameters and heights to suit different mounting and clearance requirements; select the size that matches your application. Material options: commonly available in rubber, silicone, and polyurethane grades to balance softness, resilience, chemical resistance, and load capacity; choose material based on environment and load. Performance: provides reliable damping and cushioning under repeated loads; material choices deliver different levels of hardness, recovery, and durability to match operating conditions. Practical applications Electronics and instrumentation: cushion PCBs and components to reduce shock during and operation and to dampen vibrations from moving parts. Cabinet, door, and lid protection: act as stops or bumpers to prevent slamming, reduce noise, and protect finishes on doors, lids, and access panels. Machinery and equipment: isolate motors, pumps, and small gearboxes from frame vibration to improve precision and reduce wear on bearings and mounts. Selection and installation tips Match hardness to load: softer materials give more cushioning but may compress under sustained load; harder materials offer greater load support with less deflection. Consider environment: choose silicone or specialty elastomers for higher temperature or chemical exposure; standard rubber or polyurethane for general use. Measure for fit: confirm diameter, height, and mounting hole or screw size before ordering to ensure proper fit and function. Installation methods: many buffers can be installed with adhesive backing, threaded fasteners, or pressfit into a receptacle—pick the method suited to access and load requirements. Why this solution stands out Versatile and practical: buffers are a straightforward, lowcost way to add protection and improve system performance without redesigning assemblies. options: multiple sizes and material choices allow tailoring to specific applications and operating conditions. Minimal maintenance: durable materials and simple attachment methods keep ongoing upkeep low. If you need help choosing the right buffer for your application, consider the load, operating environment, and preferred installation method to determine material hardness, size, and attachment style.
