Buffer, Diabolo – Type D
Buffer, Diabolo Type D is a rubber-metal anti-vibration buffer from AMC Mecanocaucho with a male threaded stud, designed to absorb impact energy and reduce noise when limiting the stroke of moving parts. The diabolo (double-cone) rubber body deforms progressively under load, making it effective as an end-stop for springs, dampers, cranes, and hoists.

Suitable for any application requiring controlled limitation of a flexible element under repeated impact loads.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a diabolo buffer and a simple buffer?
The diabolo buffer has a double-cone rubber body that contacts the opposing surface progressively as deflection increases. This allows greater energy absorption compared to a flat-faced simple buffer, which responds immediately upon impact.
Is a high-damping rubber option available?
Yes. A high-damping rubber compound is available on request. It reduces rebound movement but results in slightly higher stress transmission to the structure.
What thread configuration does the Type D use?
The Type D designation indicates a male threaded stud. The threaded mount is included with the buffer.
