Product Number: 2012MFB18-45
Sensitive and lighter-duty installations call for a mount that prioritises isolation over restraint, and the 20x12mm Male Flat Buffer M6x18 45 Shore A (2012MFB18-45) is designed precisely for that role. Rated to a maximum load of 40.0 kg with a deflection of 3.0 mm, this soft-grade rubber-to-metal bonded buffer delivers the greater movement under load that is characteristic of 45 Shore A rubber, making it the appropriate choice where vibration isolation takes precedence over stiffness. Male Flat buffers operate by absorbing and dissipating energy, cushioning machinery against impact shocks from external moving components. The low-cost, easy-to-install design allows the buffer to act either as a direct elastic contact element against a surface or as a secondary shock-absorption point. The rubber-to-metal bonded construction ensures reliable load transfer without mechanical fasteners loosening under repeated dynamic loading. At 45 Shore A, this buffer is particularly suited to applications where lower-frequency vibration isolation is the primary concern and the equipment or structure involved is compact, lightweight, or sensitive to transmitted shock. Relevant sectors include agricultural equipment, elevators, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, and industrial machinery, environments where protecting operator comfort and surrounding structures from vibration-induced fatigue is as important as carrying load. The mount may be loaded in shear, compression, or a combination of both, broadening its installation flexibility for sensitive equipment assemblies. This buffer is part of a wider Male Flat Buffer range available in alternative Shore grades and sizes.

A. This buffer has an outer diameter and height of 20x12mm, a threaded stud of M6x18, a maximum load rating of 40.0 kg, and a deflection of 3.0 mm.
A. At 45 Shore A, this is the softest grade in the Male Flat Buffer range for this geometry. Softer grades give greater deflection and better vibration isolation at lower loads, making this buffer the right choice where isolation from vibration matters more than load-bearing stiffness or movement restraint.
A. This buffer is suited to applications in agricultural equipment, elevators, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, and industrial machinery — particularly where the equipment is compact, lightweight, or sensitive to transmitted shock and vibration.
A. Male Flat buffers absorb and dissipate energy to cushion machinery against impact shocks from external moving components. They can act as a direct elastic contact element against a surface or serve as a secondary shock-absorption point, and may be loaded in shear, compression, or a combination of both.
A. Yes. The same 20x12mm M6x18 form factor is also available in 60 Shore A (2012MFB18-60) and 70 Shore A (2012MFB18-70). Additional sizes in the Male Flat Buffer family include 2525MFB18-45, 0808MFB06, 100100MFB44, 10030MFB41, 10040MFB44, 10050MFB41, and 10055MFB44. Custom sizes and specialist rubber compounds are available on request.
A. Custom options including oil-resistant and high-temperature rubbers, as well as stainless steel metal components and additional sizes, are available on request.
