A range of high performance co-polyester elastomer profile buffers offers a low cost damping solution where a moving mass does not need to be decelerated to an exact datum position.

The Tubus range of high performance co-polyester elastomer profile buffers offers a low cost damping solution where a moving mass does not need to be decelerated to an exact datum position and it is not necessary to absorb 100% of the incoming energy. Their life expectancy, up to 1 million cycles, is remarkable, up to 20 times longer than urethane buffers, up to 10 times longer than rubber buffers and up to five times longer than steel springs. Tubus buffers have an operating temperature between -40 deg C to +90 deg C.

They are resistant to grease, oil, petroleum, microbe and chemical attack and seawater.

They also have excellent UV and ozone resistance.

Five models are available - TA, TS, TR, TRL and TC - offering different stopping characteristics and energy capacities ranging from 2Nm up to 12,720Nm per cycle.

Emergency stop uses are an ideal application.

Other application areas are end stops in robotic systems, high bay warehouse systems, machine tools, theme park rides, dockyard handling equipment, baggage handling, conveyor systems and crane equipment.
