Product Overview

Chair bumpers provide localized cushioning where chair parts may contact a neighboring surface or another piece of furniture. Their placement should follow the actual contact point, which may differ from the normal floor-support area. A bumper positioned nearby but outside the contact path will not protect the surface as intended.

Check the chair during the movement that produces the contact, such as storing it against other chairs. The bumper's thickness changes the spacing between the parts and must not obstruct hinges, joints or the intended storage position. The attachment also needs to retain the component when the surfaces separate again.

Choose the material and shape for the particular interface; rubber and plastic constructions should not be assumed to respond identically. Cushioning does not establish a specific impact capacity or prevent damage from every collision. Inspect for a compressed contact face, loosening or a shifted location during maintenance. If wear appears only at one edge, review the alignment before replacing the part in the same position.

Material options: Rubber. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
Hardness selection: Rubber: 30–90 Shore A. Chair bumpers provide localized cushioning where chair parts may contact a neighboring surface or another piece of furniture.
Custom dimensions: Choose the material and shape for the particular interface; rubber and plastic constructions should not be assumed to respond identically.
Fit & assembly: The bumper's thickness changes the spacing between the parts and must not obstruct hinges, joints or the intended storage position.
Use & inspection: Inspect for a compressed contact face, loosening or a shifted location during maintenance.

Photos illustrate structure or material only. A bumper positioned nearby but outside the contact path will not protect the surface as intended. ETOL directly manufactures custom-shaped silicone and rubber parts to your requirements.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
