Buffers A practical, reliable solution for protecting equipment, reducing impact and vibration, and extending the life of moving parts. Buffers provide cushioning where parts meet, absorb shock, and isolate vibration to improve performance and reduce wear. Key benefits Protects equipment and surfaces by absorbing shock and reducing impact. Dampens vibration to prevent noise, loosened fasteners and component fatigue. Extends service life of mounted machinery, fixtures and assemblies by lowering transmitted loads. Flexible compatibility: suitable for a wide range of applications and mounting configurations. Simplifies maintenance by reducing the frequency of repairs tied to shock and vibration damage. What Buffers do (clear function) Absorb and dissipate energy from impacts and dynamic loads. Isolate vibration between components to stabilize motion and reduce noise. Provide a sacrificial contact surface to protect finishes and structure. Important attributes (general) Function: impact absorption, vibration isolation, contact protection. Compatibility: designed to work with many fixtures, machinery, automotive parts, furniture and industrial mounts. Size and form: available in multiple shapes and sizes to match load, space and installation requirements. Materials and durability: offered in different material options and hardness levels to suit operating conditions and expected lifetime. Performance: chosen to match expected load, frequency of impacts and environmental factors for predictable protection. Use scenarios Industrial machinery: place buffers between a vibrating motor and its mount to reduce transmitted vibration, cut noise and extend bearing life. Equipment stops and bumpers: use as endoftravel cushions for presses, conveyors or sliding doors to prevent metal‑to‑metal impacts and protect frames. Protective mounts in workshops and garages: mount buffers beneath tools, jigs or benches to reduce shock when operating handfed equipment or to protect finished parts during assembly. Selection and maintenance tips Match buffer size, material and hardness to the expected load, impact frequency and temperature/humidity exposure. Inspect buffers periodically for wear, cracking or compression set; when protection is reduced. Correct mounting and alignment ensure effective energy absorption and consistent performance. Buffers provide straightforward protection and vibration control for many installations. Select the appropriate type and install according to load and environment to get reliable, longlasting results.
