Where machinery must withstand heavy impact and hold position under load, the Male Flat Buffer 2518MFB18-70 delivers the firm, controlled response that lighter grades cannot. Rated to a maximum load of 141.0 kg with a deflection of just 4.25 mm, this 70 Shore A rubber buffer is engineered for applications that demand minimal movement and high load-bearing capacity. The 25 mm diameter by 18 mm height body pairs with an M6 x 18 mm threaded stud for straightforward installation against surfaces where a secondary object must be firmly arrested rather than gently cushioned. Constructed with rubber-to-metal bonding, the Male Flat Buffer absorbs and dissipates energy on contact, reducing impact force transmitted to surrounding structures and mountings. The 70 Shore A hardness grade carries higher loads with less deflection, making it the appropriate choice when softer grades would allow excessive movement or bottom out under operational stress. Its low-profile geometry keeps installation compact whilst delivering the resistance required for demanding duty cycles. This buffer is suited to construction equipment, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, and industrial plant where shock and impact loads are significant and positional stability is critical. It also finds application across power generation, marine, and railway environments where robust bump-stop performance is required. Rubber-to-metal bonded construction protects surrounding structures, reduces noise transmission, and contributes to extended machinery service life. Custom options including stainless steel metalwork and oil-resistant or high-temperature rubber compounds are available on request.

A. The 2518MFB18-70 is rated to a maximum load of 141.0 kg, with a deflection of 4.25 mm at that load. The 70 Shore A hardness grade provides high load resistance with minimal movement, making it suitable for applications where firm arrest of a secondary object is required.
A. The buffer body measures 25 mm in diameter by 18 mm in height (D x H: 25 x 18). The threaded stud is M6 with an 18 mm engagement length (d x L: M6 x 18).
A. Shore A hardness governs how the buffer behaves under load. The 45 Shore A grade (2518MFB18-45) offers greater deflection and better isolation, suited to lighter loads and vibration-sensitive installations. The 60 Shore A grade (2518MFB18-60) provides a general-purpose balance of deflection and load capacity. The 70 Shore A grade (this product) carries the highest load of the three with the least movement, and is the appropriate choice for heavy shock, impact restraint, and applications where positional stability is critical.
A. The Male Flat Buffer range is designed for use across construction equipment, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, commercial vehicles, and elevators. It is also applied in power generation, marine, railway and mass transit, automotive, and military and defence environments where impact cushioning and bump-stop performance are required.
A. A male flat buffer works by absorbing and dissipating energy when a moving component makes contact with it. It reduces the impact force transmitted to the machine structure or surrounding components. Installation uses the M6 threaded stud, which is fastened directly into a tapped hole or secured with a nut, placing the rubber face in direct contact with the surface or secondary object to be arrested.
A. Yes. Stainless steel metalwork and oil-resistant or high-temperature rubber compounds are available on request. Additional and custom sizes can also be supplied. Contact PartsForMachines to discuss your specific requirements.
