What is a Premium Progressive Bullet-Shaped Rubber bump stop?
Let's breakdown the long name to explain what a "Premium Progressive Bullet-Shaped Rubber bump stop - 4854" is.
The product is 'Premium' due to a combination of the materials and the manufacturing process we use. Most companies opt for a lower cost and compromised production process, but this results in a shorter product life. The process and materials which AVMR use are designed to produce a longer lasting product.
This bullet-shaped bump stop, which we call a BS-4854. The bullet shape allows impacts to be gently resisted initially, before increasing with compression - the resistence progressively increases.
Sometimes used as a foot to absorb vibration, but typically as a backstop to absorb shock from smaller impacts.
We manufacture this in the UK, and can easily make these from other materials.
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.
Standard:
- Zinc plated mild steel
- AVMR's Natural Rubber based compounds
Variants of this product (e.g. stainless steel metals, alternative threads) can be manufactured.
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.
