Anti vibration damper shock absorber rubber buffer

An anti vibration damper uses rubber compliance at a contact or mounting point. This entry is also described as a shock absorber and rubber buffer, but steady vibration and occasional impact create different demands. The intended loading pattern should guide the part's dimensions and compound.

For a continuously loaded mount, examine the working compression and any movement around that position. For a buffer contacted only at the end of travel, consider the available space for deflection and the direction of impact. Select the required deflection, contact area and material response for that loading pattern, including the space available before surrounding rigid parts meet.

ETOL offers customized size, material, color and logos, with hardness options from 30 to 90 Shore A. The same hardness can behave differently in a tall narrow buffer and a short broad pad. Geometry determines how the rubber is supported and where it can deform.

Keep the contact centered on the intended face rather than striking a side edge. Check that surrounding metal parts do not meet before the rubber has performed its intended function. During inspection, look for cuts, permanent set and evidence of sideways loading. If a buffer repeatedly loosens or develops damage in one area, review the alignment and operating movement before fitting an unchanged replacement. A rubber stop should not be assumed to establish a safe travel limit without the rest of the mechanism being designed accordingly.
