Rubber Buffers / Cellular Buffers Program 0170 / 0180 General Information Stop buffers are essentially damping units that absorb energy, for example at the end of a crane runway, to prevent damage and allow for smaller structural dimensions. In general, “energy before geometry” applies to buffers because load diagrams, precisely defined characteristic curves, physical dimensions, and mathematical formulae are used when dimensioning the buffers. Geometrical dimensions are of secondary importance here. Stop bumpers are not to be used as vibration dampers or supports Modern production methods, constantly increasing working speeds, and increasing demands for ergonomic working environment, make greater demands on existing buffer systems. Due to the wide variety of available buffer designs, we can offer a solution for every application. We have a large standard range of rubber buffers and cellular buffers to provide for individual solutions. Special designs are always possible by request. Applications: • Travel limitation • Energy absorption • End stops • End position dampening Rubber Buffers: Program 0170 Since rubber buffers are made from cost-effective, basic materials, our program offers an economic solution for most technical requirements. The energy absorption of a rubber buffer is limited due to the compression limits of the material. Rubber-Metal Elements: Program 0170 Rubber-metal elements are used to support dynamic loads and isolate them from vibration.
