Buffers What it does Absorbs shock and impact to protect surfaces, components and structure. Reduces vibration and noise from moving parts. Prevents direct metaltometal contact that causes wear, dents and rattles. Key benefits Protects equipment and extends service life by minimizing impact and abrasion. Cuts noise and vibration for a safer, more comfortable environment. Simple to install and , reducing maintenance time and downtime. Versatile across many applications, from household fixtures to industrial machinery. Important attributes Function: Designed to cushion, stop or space moving parts and provide a controlled contact surface. Compatibility: Works with doors, drawers, cabinets, panels, enclosures, hinges, machinery stops, conveyors, and vehicle components where impact control is required. Size: Available in compact to larger formats to suit lightduty fixtures through heavyduty machinery (choose the size that matches contact area and load). Material: Typically offered in resilient materials such as rubber, silicone, polyurethane or foam to balance energy absorption, durability and environmental resistance. Performance: Provides consistent energy dissipation, repeateduse durability and resistance to common stresses (compression, shear and abrasion) when matched to the application. Installation and maintenance Mounting options include adhesive backing, screw or bolt attachment, pressfit pegs or threaded inserts depending on the model and application. Inspect periodically for wear, hardening, cracking or compression set and if shock absorption is reduced. Select material and size appropriate for load, temperature and chemical exposure to maximize lifetime. Use scenarios 1) Cabinet and door protection: Mount small adhesive or screwin buffers on frame or door edges to stop slamming, reduce noise and prevent paint chipping or denting. 2) Machinery and conveyor stops: Use larger, heavyduty buffers at endoftravel positions to absorb impact, protect equipment, and reduce downtime from damage. 3) Equipment isolation: Place buffers between components or under mounted equipment to damp vibration, improve precision of sensitive instruments, and reduce transmitted noise. How to choose Match buffer size and face area to the contact point to spread load and avoid premature wear. Select material for expected temperature range, chemical exposure and desired firmness (softer for noise reduction, firmer for heavy impact). Confirm mounting style and load capacity for secure, longlasting installation. Buffers provide straightforward protection and performance where controlled contact, impact absorption and noise reduction are required. Select the appropriate type and install per recommended guidelines to achieve reliable, longterm results.
