Used for stops, guides and protection of workpieces, these metal backed bumpers, molded from urethane or neoprene, are bonded to 1/8″ aluminum plate or steel plate. Urethane offers excellent abrasion resistance, strength and load bearing along, with elongation hardness and resistance to ozone and oxygen, while neoprene offers good resistance against weather, gasoline, ozone and temperature.
These bumpers are available in “off-the-shelf” sizes, as well as special cut to custom requirements. The square and rectangular bumpers are available in black neoprene and colored urethane in 35, 60 and 80-durometer with sizes of ¾” square to rectangular sizes of 1″ x 4″. Heights range from 3/4″ to 1 3/4″ Custom cut or special bumpers are available in both black neoprene and urethane, 80-durometer, with thickness from 3/8 to 2″.
The neoprene and urethane bumpers can come with counter-bored holes, as well as tapped holes for applications-specific mounting. Bumpers are most often used in material handling, assembly and manufacturing operations to guide, stop and support parts as they are moved and/or transferred.
