BUMPERS
also
called feets
are used in
place of grommets
to protect the
instruments
or appliances
from damage.
Additional applications
include electrical
insulation,
noise reduction,
vibration isolation
and protection
from forces
generated in
compression.
There are different
types of bumpers
for different
applications.
Common types
include Recessed
Bumpers, Stem
Bumpers, Button
Bumpers, Tack/Screw
Bumpers, End
Bumpers.
Important
size dimensions
to consider
when specifying
Bumpers include
outside diameter,
thickness or
working height,
bore of the
appliance/instrument
in which the
bumper is to
be fitted, head
diameter of
the bumper and
height of the
bumper head.
Materials of
construction
include Aflas®,
VITON,
SILICON,
HYPALON,
EPDM,
TPR,
NBR,
NEOPRENE,
PTFE, PU,
SBR
& NATURAL.
The hardness
rating on a
Shore A scale
for Bumpers
can be 30 ~
85 Durometer.
Exact specifications
should be clarified
by our engineers,
as chemical
and physical
properties of
Bumpers can
differ based
on manufacturing
technique.
