Bumbers
Bumpers are used in applications where there may be risk of damaging equipment or property. Their main purpose is to form a cushion and reduce movement, impact, and vibration. EPDM is a common material choice due to its superior abrasion resistance, but other materials are available to meet your unique specifications and requirements. Extruded rubber bumpers from ELBEX provide superior impact resistance to other types of rubber bumpers because of our team that’s dedicated to quality through the entire extrusion manufacturing process.
Rubber Bumper Applications
Extruded rubber bumpers are most commonly used to absorb the force from an impact These extrusions are found in a variety of different applications across industries due to their versatility:
- Mass Transit - Rubber bumpers are often found on the back of trucks and trailers to protect them from possible impact while backing into loading docks.
- Marine - Dock bumpers are the best example of a marine application, used to absorb the force of an impact.
All extrusions are available in continuous lengths and precise profile shapes, but can be cut to meet specific length requirements. Whatever your application, we can offer additional services such as vulcanized splicing, cutting, printing, and taping.
Please contact us to discuss your specific application needs.
Custom Bumper Design and Value-Added Services
In addition to designing and engineering custom extrusions, we are able to provide many value-added services, such as in-house die tooling, on-site silicone mixing, and silicone color matching, as well as printing, cutting, splicing, and taping.
