Engineered for lighter and sensitive installations where maximum energy absorption takes priority, this 30 x 17 mm Female Flat Buffer with an M8 thread and 45 Shore A rubber compound delivers the highest deflection and lowest resistance in the 30 x 17 mm flat buffer range. At a rated maximum load of 83.0 kg and a deflection of 4.25 mm, the soft grade is particularly well matched to lower-frequency vibration isolation tasks where compliance, the ability to move with the source. Matters more than structural restraint. Rubber-to-metal bonded construction ensures consistent coupling between the rubber element and its metal hardware, combining the energy-dissipating properties of the vulcanised rubber with the mechanical integrity of the threaded insert. At 45 Shore A, the compound sits at the softer end of the hardness scale; this translates directly into greater deflection under a given load and superior isolation efficiency for machinery that generates lower-amplitude, lower-frequency disturbances. The Female Flat Buffer format cushions machinery against impact shocks from external moving components, absorbs and dissipates energy, and can serve as an elastic contact element between a surface and a secondary object. Typical installation environments for this soft-grade variant include agricultural equipment, power generation plant, and light industrial machinery where protecting sensitive components or improving operator comfort is the primary goal. It is equally applicable in commercial vehicle bodywork, marine equipment mountings, and construction machinery sub-assemblies where load levels remain within the lower band and isolation efficiency is the priority over maximum load-carrying capacity.

A. The buffer measures 30 mm diameter by 17 mm height with an M8 female thread. It is rated to a maximum load of 83.0 kg and provides a deflection of 4.25 mm under load.
A. Shore A 45 places this buffer at the softer end of the hardness range. Softer grades produce greater deflection under a given load, which improves vibration isolation efficiency and energy absorption — making this grade most suitable for lighter loads and lower-frequency isolation where compliance is more important than load restraint.
A. The 45 Shore A variant is well suited to agricultural equipment, light industrial machinery, power generation plant, commercial vehicles, and marine applications where load levels are within the lower band and protecting sensitive components or improving operator comfort is the primary objective.
A. The rubber-to-metal bonded construction couples a vulcanised rubber element to the threaded metal insert. The rubber compound absorbs and dissipates energy from impact shocks and vibrating machinery, cushioning against forces transmitted from external moving components and reducing loads passed to surrounding structures.
A. All 30 x 17 mm M8 Female Flat Buffers share the same geometry, but the 45 Shore A grade offers greater deflection and superior isolation at lower loads. For applications requiring higher load-carrying capacity with less movement, the medium-grade 3017FFB08-60 or the firm-grade 3017FFB08-70 would be more appropriate.
A. Yes — stainless steel metal components and oil-resistant or high-temperature rubber compounds are available on request, as are additional and custom sizes. Contact PartsForMachines to discuss specific requirements.
A. We accept all major credit and debit cards, along with PayPal.
A. Standard UK mainland delivery is 3–5 working days. Next-day delivery is available on most products and will appear as an option at checkout where eligible.
