Stop Buffers

Description:

Stop Buffers are designed to protect against high impact shock and are available with either a single fixing stud or a mounting plate. We usually stock a range of sizes, suitable for a wide range of requirements. Alternatively, we can produce customer specific solutions from our existing tooling, in different material and metal finish options. Please contact us if you require further information on our Stop Buffer range or alternatively with regard to any of our other product ranges.


Typical Product Dimensions:


Benefits:

Typically, the GMT Stop Buffer range is produced in a hard rubber compound which allows for high energy absorption in shock applications. We produce this rubber ourselves, and it goes through a rigorous testing process before it reaches our customers.

Examples of applications include the absorption of impacts for overhead cranes and uses within the rail industry.
