Tubus co-polyester elastomer profile buffers provide damping where a moving mass does not need to be decelerated to an exact position and it is not necessary to absorb 100% of the incoming energy.

Tubus co-polyester elastomer profile buffers provide damping where a moving mass does not need to be decelerated to an exact datum position and it is not necessary to absorb 100% of the incoming energy Their life expectancy, up to one million cycles, is up to 20 times longer than urethane buffers, up to 10 times longer than rubber buffers and up to five times longer than steel springs

Operating temperature is between -40 and +90C.

They are resistant to grease, oil, petroleum, microbe and chemical attack and seawater.

They also have UV and ozone resistance.

Five models are available - TA, TS, TR, TRL and TC - offering different stopping characteristics and energy capacities from 2 to 12,720Nm per cycle.

Emergency stop uses are a typical application.

Other application are end stops in robotic systems, high bay warehouse systems, machine tools, theme park rides, dockyard handling equipment, baggage handling, conveyor systems and crane equipment.
