KIPP rubber buffers – Wide selection in the webshop
KIPP rubber buffers are simple and cost-effective standard elements for elastic mounts. They are suitable for compressive and shear loads. However, rubber buffers are much less resilient under shear loads than under compressive loads.
Note: Tensile loads are also possible, but should really be avoided due to the peak stresses on the bond and the notch sensitivity of rubber.
The buffers are mainly used as stop buffers or for vibration damping. They are ideal as components for isolating vibrations that result from the use of e.g. compressors, motors or aggregates. Rubber buffers are also used in the mounting of mechanical components and for the soft damping of moving. As mentioned above, rubber buffers are used as buffers and for damping vibrations and are under the "Buffer elements" group in the KIPP webshop and catalogue.
In detail, this means that rubber buffers absorb kinetic energy from components and thus reduce the vibration load in the overall system or cushion the momentum of moving objects. When constructing machines, the energy released by vibrations must not be underestimated. In most cases, these vibrations arise from rotations and oscillations. Rubber buffers are therefore often used to absorb shocks or recurring movements and as end stops to cushion moving items. A rubber buffer significantly reduces the vibration amplitude. Classic practical applications for rubber buffers are as "door stops", "door buffers" and machine feet. The positive side-effect as a sound-absorbing element rounds off the portfolio.
Application sectors for rubber buffers with steel and stainless steel cores
Classic applications for rubber buffers (with electro zinc-plated core) can be found on:
- Doors
- Gates
- Shutters
- Machines
- Plants
- Motors
- Transmissions
- and as stops on machines.
Rubber buffers in various shapes and types
In general, rubber buffers are usually made of a combination of the elastomer natural rubber and a steel or stainless steel metal core. There are versions with internal and external threads to enable different installation options. The KIPP range of rubber buffers is highly differentiated:
- Rubber buffers type A
- Rubber buffers type AT
- Rubber buffers type B
- Rubber buffers type C
- Rubber buffers type CT
- Rubber buffers type D
- Rubber buffers type Ds with suction foot
- Rubber buffers type E
- Parabolic rubber buffers
- Conical rubber buffers
- Spherical rubber buffers
The many different types (shapes) demonstrate the flexible application possibilities of rubber buffers. The rubber buffers absorb the energy differently depending on the shape. Elements with a tapered rubber contour are ideal for high edge loads by radial deflection. Rubber buffers considerably reduce impacts. Limited spaces must also be considered when selecting the right buffer.
In addition to the shape and material, rubber buffers are available with different thread sizes (M3/M4/M6/M10/M12/M16) and lengths. Most rubber buffers from HEINRICH KIPP WERK are available directly from stock in a medium rubber hardness of Shore 55 (+/- 5). If rubber buffers with other Shore hardness are required, our technical sales support team will be happy to help you find the appropriate buffer for your application. You can find a complete overview of the entire range in the KIPP online rubber buffer shop.
