• Controlling impact and torque reaction loads
• Inexpensive and effective control of machinery vibration, shock and acoustic noise

Features

• Designed specifically to control impact and torque reaction loads
• Load must be placed on the metal surface and not on the stud

• Stud thread (C): 3/8 UNF

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

The M172M8 conical buffer (linked below) has the same body size with an M8 thread, but check the thread, load and deflection figures before you treat them as a replacement. Load must be placed on the metal surface and not on the stud. All properties are nominal.
