Sensitive installations and lighter equipment demand a mount that prioritises isolation above all else, and the 25x18mm Male Flat Buffer in 45 Shore A (SKU: 2518MFB18-45) is engineered precisely for that role. With a maximum load rating of 69.5 kg and a deflection of 4.25 mm under load, this soft-grade buffer offers greater movement and energy absorption than harder variants in the range, making it the appropriate choice where lower-frequency vibration isolation and compliance matter more than stiffness or restraint. The rubber-to-metal bonded construction gives this buffer its characteristic low-cost, reliable performance. Acting either as a shock absorber against secondary moving components or as an elastic contact element directly against a surface, it absorbs and dissipates impact energy efficiently. The male M6 x 18 mm stud thread makes fitting straightforward, and the flat buffer geometry lends itself to installations where a low-profile, direct-mount configuration is needed. Softer Shore A grades such as this deliver greater deflection and better isolation at lower loads, suiting compact or vibration-sensitive assemblies where a harder grade would transmit too much force. With a body diameter of 25 mm and a height of 18 mm, this buffer suits applications in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial plant, commercial vehicles, and elevators, particularly where the load is light and the priority is protecting sensitive components or improving operator comfort.

A. This 45 Shore A Male Flat Buffer has a maximum load rating of 69.5 kg and a deflection of 4.25 mm under load. The softer 45 Shore A grade provides greater deflection than harder variants, which is why it is suited to lighter or sensitive installations where compliance and vibration isolation take priority over stiffness.
A. Shore A hardness indicates the rubber's resistance to deformation. A softer grade such as 45 Shore A gives greater deflection under load and delivers better vibration isolation at lower frequencies and lighter loads. This makes it appropriate for sensitive equipment or compact assemblies where a harder grade would transmit too much force.
A. The buffer body measures 25 mm diameter by 18 mm height (D x H: 25 x 18 mm). The male stud thread is M6 with a shank length of 18 mm (d x L: M6 x 18 mm).
A. This soft-grade Male Flat Buffer is suited to construction equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial plant, commercial vehicles, and elevators where loads are light and vibration isolation is the priority. It is also used across power generation, marine, and railway and mass transit applications where lower-frequency compliance under modest loads is required.
A. The rubber-to-metal bonded construction absorbs and dissipates impact energy. The buffer can act as a shock absorber against secondary moving components or as an elastic contact element in direct contact with a surface, cushioning machinery against impact shocks and reducing transmitted vibration.
A. Yes. The same 25 x 18 mm M6 body is available in a 60 Shore A medium grade (2518MFB18-60) and a 70 Shore A firm grade (2518MFB18-70). Harder grades carry higher load with less movement; the 45 Shore A grade here offers the greatest deflection and isolation of the three.
A. Yes. Stainless steel metalwork, oil-resistant rubber, and high-temperature rubber compounds are available on request, along with additional and custom sizes beyond the standard range.
