Rubber buffers
Rubber buffers are vibration dampers designed to absorb shocks, reduce noise, and minimise vibrations in industrial machinery and equipment. These components, also known as rubber vibration-damping elements, play a key role in improving machine stability, protecting structures, and extending service life.
Elesa+Ganter offers a wide and versatile range of rubber buffers manufactured in high-quality NR natural rubber, combined with steel base plates or AISI 304 stainless steel components. These vibration dampers are engineered to effectively dampen unwanted vibrations caused by moving parts or unbalanced masses, preventing operational disruption, excessive noise, and mechanical stress.
What are rubber buffers used for?
Rubber buffers are used to:
- absorb shocks and dynamic loads
- reduce vibration transmission
- minimise noise generated by machinery
- protect equipment and supporting structures
The Elesa+Ganter range includes cylindrical rubber buffers, conical rubber buffers, hourglass rubber buffers, and bell-type rubber buffers, ensuring optimal performance across different load conditions and applications.
Material options and application environments
In addition to standard NR natural rubber solutions, grey rubber vibration-damping elements (MVQ) are available for applications requiring higher hygiene standards. These are particularly suitable for the food processing and medical industries, where resistance to specific environmental conditions and cleanliness are essential.
