A. This buffer has a maximum load capacity of 242.5 kg and a deflection of 7.5 mm. The 70 Shore A hardness grade is responsible for this combination — a firmer rubber carries a higher load whilst limiting movement, making it well suited to heavy-duty and shock-prone applications.
A. Shore A is the standard scale for measuring rubber hardness. At 70 Shore A, this is a firm-grade rubber. Compared with softer grades of the same geometry, it offers greater resistance to deflection under load, meaning the assembly moves less under a given force. This is the appropriate choice where positional stability and load-bearing capacity are priorities rather than maximum vibration isolation.
A. The buffer body measures 40 mm diameter by 30 mm height. The male stud is M8 with a 23 mm shank length. These dimensions allow direct installation into a tapped M8 hole with the flat rubber face bearing against the mating surface.
A. The rubber-to-metal bonded construction allows the buffer to operate under compression, shear, or a combination of both. The bonded interface keeps the rubber element coupled to the metal stud throughout repeated loading cycles, including impact and shock loads from external moving components.
A. Male Flat buffers are used in construction equipment, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, elevators, and commercial vehicles. At 70 Shore A, this firm-grade variant is particularly suited to applications involving heavier loads or shock impact where minimal deflection is required. Industries served include off-highway construction, agriculture, power generation, marine, railway and mass transit, automotive, and military and defence.
A. Yes. The 40 x 30 mm, M8 x 23 geometry is also offered in 45 Shore A (4030MFB23-45) and 60 Shore A (4030MFB23-60) for applications requiring greater deflection or lighter load capacity. Other sizes in the Male Flat Buffer family include 0808MFB06, 100100MFB44, 10030MFB41, 10040MFB44, 10050MFB41, and 10055MFB44. Custom sizes, stainless steel metal components, and oil-resistant or high-temperature rubber compounds are also available on request.
