Male Buffers
Male Flat Buffers provide a low cost solution for absorbing Shock and Vibration. They are easy to install, and typically used to reduce the force of an impact from a secondary object. Alternatively they can be used as an elastic element, where the rubber remains in direct contact with a surface. They are manufactured from 1st Grade Natural Rubber which can accommodate high deformation and high stresses. On request, they are also available in High Damped Rubber.
Our Male Buffers are also available with various configurations of additional sizes and metals available on request. The Male Buffers are typically used when it can be easily secured with a thread nut or threaded female fixing. They can additionally be used as machinery feet.
Advantages:
■ Absorb Impact Shock Forces
■ Reduce Shock induced Stress on Fabrications
■ Eliminate Metal to Metal Contact
■ Provide Overload Protection
■ Additional Sizes, Stainless Steel metals and Oil, Fuel & Heat Resistant rubbers available on request.Applications:
■ Construction Equipment
■ General Industrial machinery
■ Agricultural Machinery and Equipment
■ Commercial Vehicle
■ Lifts and Elevators
Female Buffers
Female Flat Buffers offer an economical solution for absorbing shock and vibration. Easy to install, they are commonly used to lessen the impact force from secondary objects. Alternatively, they can function as an elastic element, with the rubber staying in direct contact with a surface. Made from high-quality, first-grade natural rubber, they can withstand significant deformation and high stress. High-damping rubber options are also available upon request.
The Female Buffers are typically used when the fixing length is not easily defined and the use of a socket screw allows ease of installation. If you require help with choosing a specification of female buffers, get in touch with our team on 0116 2461261 or email mail@avindustrialproducts.co.uk

Tapered Buffers
Tapered Buffers are ideal for absorbing shock. They provide high levels of deformation under impact force, and a progressive stiffness rate to accommodate varying shock forces, thus giving excellent levels of absorption and protection of machinery and fabrications.
We stock Tapered Buffers in a range of sizes and threads to cover a wide range of installations. If you need advice on which size is suitable for your requirements, get in touch with one of our experienced team members: they will be happy to help.
Stainless Steel Metals, Synthetic rubber compounds and Female Fixings
available on request.Applications include:
■ Primary and Secondary suspension for vehicles, bump stops for general Industrial Machinery, Assister springs, Construction and Agricultural Machinery.
Conical Buffers
Conical Buffers are ideal for absorbing shock. They provide high levels of deformation under impact force, and a progressive stiffness rate to accommodate varying shock forces, thus giving excellent levels of absorption and protection of machinery and fabrications.
Conical rubber buffers are ideal for cushioning shock loads and providing overload protection such as within suspension systems. The conical buffer applications are varied which include vibratory conveyor systems and door stops.

Plate Buffers
Plate buffers provide a Heavy Duty solution for absorbing high levels of shock and impact forces. The large rubber section allows for high levels of deformation, ensuring that the impact energy is dissipated effectively.
The plate rubber buffers with mild steel flange and pre-drilled bolt holes mean they are extremely versatile. A variety of sizes are available for the plate buffer stops, also available with aluminium metals.
Applications
■ Construction Equipment and Vehicles
■ Agricultural Vehicles
■ Commercial Vehicles
■ General Industrial Machinery
Square Plate Buffers
Square Plate buffers provide a Heavy Duty solution for absorbing high levels of shock and impact forces. The large rubber section allows for high levels of deformation, ensuring that the impact energy is dissipated effectively.
Square Plate Rubber Bump Stops can be used in a wide variety of applications, including Construction, Agricultural, Commercial Vehicle and General Industrial Machinery.
Applications
■ Construction Equipment and Vehicles
■ Mining and Quarry Equipment
■ Agricultural Vehicles
■ Lifts and Elevators
■ General Industrial Machinery
Rubber buffers are a crucial component in vibration prevention. Their low-cost and easy installation makes them a must for absorbing shock and vibration. Commonly found in automotive, industrial, and construction applications, they provide cushioning between parts, minimizing wear and tear. Durable and flexible, rubber buffers enhance equipment longevity and ensure smoother, quieter operations.

FAQs
What are bump stops?
Bump stops, also known as rubber buffers, are anti-vibration mounts that are used in a range of applications to absorb vibrations and reduce shock. They are widely popular in sectors such as industrial, manufacturing and construction.
What applications can they be used in?
Bump stops can be used in a wide range of applications including construction equipment, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, elevators, commercial vehicles and more. AV Industrial products are built to last and can provide vibration prevention in many applications.
How do bump stops work?
Rubber bump stops work by absorbing and dissipating energy from impacts or vibrations, converting kinetic energy into heat.
How do I know which rubber buffer to choose?
Choosing the right rubber buffer will depend on the application in which it is needed. For more information on which bump stop you may need, get in touch with one of our team.
What are the benefits of rubber buffers?
There are a number of benefits, including protecting equipment, reducing noise and ensuring the longevity of machinery. By implementing buffers, users can minimise wear and vastly improve safety.
How much do they cost?
The cost of bump stops varies depending on their size, material and application. For exact pricing, take a look at our store or get in touch.
Are bump stops customisable?
Absolutely. Any of our products or services can be tailored to your needs. So whether the size, shape, or hardness needs adjusting, we can accommodate you. Our team can help manufacture bespoke bump stops to suit you.
