Understanding the Hexagonal 16mm Rubber bump stop
Hexagonal 16mm Rubber bump stop is a hexagonal-headed cylindrical bump stop, and a popular option for many applications. Sometimes used as a foot to absorb vibration, but typically as a backstop to absorb shock from smaller impacts. The Hexagonal head allows it to be tightened using a spanner
Our 1616 Bump stop is designed to absorb energy progressively, and to fit into small locations. We manufacture this in the UK, so custom options are easily available.
The standard product is the "Type 3", which uses a "middle hardness" rubber, higher numbered "Types" are harder, whilst lower numbered "Types" are softer. If in doubt, select Type 3.
Materials
- Zinc plated mild steel
- AVMR's Natural Rubber based compounds
Variants of this product (e.g. stainless steel metals, alternative threads) can be manufactured.
Manufacture and Lead Time
These bump stops are manufactured in the UK to a particularly high standard; Metals are bonded to rubber using a 2 layer bonding system (most manufacturers use a single layer system). The advantage of this approach is longevity of the bond, particularly in more environmentally challenging conditions.
Please note: Rubber bonded products are not designed to be used in tension.
All dimensions are in mm.
