Buffer Stops, BF Stopper | Stop Buffer | End Stopper | Hydraulic Buffer

General Description

A buffer stopper typically consists of a damping material and a supporting structure. The damping material is responsible for generating the damping force, while the supporting structure transmits this force to the moving object. In practical applications, buffer stopper can be designed in various structural forms, such as hydraulic buffers, pneumatic buffers, and spring buffers. While these types may differ slightly in their working principles, they generally function by generating damping forces and converting energy to slow down or eliminate the impact force of a moving object.

    Hydraulic Buffer

    Features:

    1. Cushioning:

    Hydraulic buffers absorb and mitigate impact forces and vibrations during mechanical movement through hydraulic damping. This prevents damage to the mechanism caused by hard collisions.

    2. Improved Stability:

    By converting impact forces or vibrations into the flow of oil, hydraulic buffers enable mechanical equipment to stop smoothly when subjected to external forces. This enhances the stability and extends the service life of the equipment.

    3. Equipment Protection:

    Hydraulic buffers reduce the effects of vibration and impact forces, thereby lowering the failure rate of equipment, decreasing maintenance costs, and prolonging the equipment's operational lifespan.

    4. No Rebound Effect:

    Hydraulic buffers do not generate rebound forces after the buffering process is complete, eliminating the risk of secondary impact damage to the equipment.

    Polyurethane Buffer

    The polyurethane (PU) buffer utilizes the unique microporous bubble structure of polyurethane material to absorb and dissipate impact energy. During the impact process, it functions like a spring with multiple airbag dampers, effectively reducing vibration and shock.

    Features:

    ● Lightweight: Easy to handle and install due to its low weight.

    ● Easy Installation: Designed for quick and straightforward setup.

    ● Maintenance-Free: Requires no ongoing maintenance, reducing operational costs.

    ● Excellent Cushioning: Provides superior shock absorption for enhanced performance.

    ● Impact Resistance: Highly durable and capable of withstanding significant impact forces.

    ● Safe and Reliable: Ensures consistent and dependable operation in various applications.

    Buffer Stop (Heavy-Duty Crane Rail Bumping Post)

    Product Overview

    The buffer stop (also known as a crane runway bumping post) is a heavy-duty safety device installed at the terminal ends of crane tracks to prevent overtravel and derailment of crane equipment. Constructed from high-strength steel, it serves as a robust physical barrier, absorbing kinetic energy and ensuring safe operation in industrial environments.
