NBR/TPU Step-Free Buffer Gasket for Mini Cylinders | Eliminate
End-Stroke Impact in Compact Spaces
Solve Miniaturization Challenges: Achieve smooth, quiet, and
reliable cushioning in miniature and dual-axis cylinders where
traditional stepped buffers cannot fit.
Product Overview: Precision Buffering, Suitable for Compact Design
Our high-hardness NBR/TPU material stepless buffer gasket is a
cleverly conceived, simple yet crucial component, specifically
designed for micro and dual-axis cylinders with extremely limited
internal space. Unlike bulky traditional stepped buffers, this
flat, high-performance gasket can directly provide effective
deceleration and impact absorption at the end cap, ensuring smooth
operation and significantly extending the service life of compact
pneumatic actuators.
Ideal Applications: Mini cylinders, dual-axis cylinders, guided
cylinders, and other compact pneumatic actuators where internal
space is precious.
Key Features & Unmatched Benefits
- True Step-Free Design: Ultra-thin, flat profile installs easily in cylinders with no room
for conventional stepped buffers.
- Exceptional Wear Resistance: Made from high-grade NBR (Standard) or TPU (High-Performance),
offering outstanding abrasion resistance for millions of cycles.
- High Hardness for Effective Damping: Specially formulated compounds provide the optimal hardness to
absorb impact energy without compromising sealing.
- Reduced Noise & Vibration: Effectively dampens the metallic "clang" at end-of-stroke,
creating quieter machinery.
- Easy Installation: A simple drop-in component that requires no modification to your
cylinder.

Material Selection Guide
- Choose NBR (Standard): For most general industrial applications. Excellent balance of
cost and performance, with good resistance to lubricants and wear.
- Choose TPU (Premium): For high-cycle applications, higher speeds, or where maximum
service life is critical. Superior abrasion resistance and
mechanical strength.
