A. This female flat buffer has a maximum load capacity of 327.0 kg and a deflection of 5.00 mm, making it the firmest option in the 40x20mm M8 flat buffer range — designed to carry high loads with minimal movement.
A. A 70 Shore A rating indicates a firm rubber compound. At this hardness, the buffer carries higher loads with less deflection compared with softer grades, prioritising structural restraint and shock resistance over vibration isolation. It is best suited to applications involving heavier loads, impact forces, or where the mounted item must be held firmly in place.
A. This firm-grade buffer is used across construction and off-highway equipment, commercial vehicles, power generation plant, marine installations, agricultural machinery, and railway and mass transit systems — wherever positive load restraint and shock absorption under heavy loading are required.
A. The rubber-to-metal bonded construction allows the buffer to operate in compression, shear, or a combination of both, absorbing energy from external moving components and dissipating it through the rubber element. This reduces impact force transmitted to the host structure, protects surrounding components, and improves machinery lifespan.
A. Yes. The same geometry is available as the 4020FFB08-45 (45 Shore A) for maximum deflection and vibration isolation, and the 4020FFB08-60 (60 Shore A) for general-purpose mid-load applications. Larger flat buffer formats are also available — see 100100FFB16, 10030FFB16, 10040FFB16, 10050FFB16, 10055FFB16, and 10060FFB16.
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 us to discuss your specific requirements.
