Tapered Vibration Buffers
Our Tapered Vibration Buffers are a reliable form of anti vibration buffer designed with a tapered base for improved stability and performance. Each buffer is manufactured from corrosion resistant zinc plated steel combined with a shock absorbing natural rubber. This design provides effective isolation under both shear and compression forces, helping to protect sensitive components and structures from damaging vibration and shock.
Supplied as standard with a male threaded stud, these buffers are compatible with almost any female metric thread. Installation is straightforward, requiring only that the stud be screwed into place, making them an excellent choice for quick and secure vibration isolation.
We stock Tapered Vibration Buffers in a wide range of sizes including thread sizes from M4 x 4mm up to M16 x 45mm and diameters from 12mm to 125mm. This selection ensures coverage of light, medium and heavy duty applications. If you cannot find the exact size you require or would like to discuss a custom solution, please contact our team for assistance.
We also stock Flat Vibration Buffers and Conical Vibration Buffers to suit different vibration isolation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What are Tapered Vibration Buffers used for? They are commonly used to isolate vibration in machinery, equipment and instruments where protection from shock and noise is required.
- How do Tapered Buffers work? The tapered rubber element compresses and deflects under load to absorb vibration while the steel insert ensures secure mounting.
- What sizes are available? Options range from M4 x 4mm up to M16 x 45mm with diameters from 12mm to 125mm covering light through heavy duty applications.
- Can they be customised? Yes. Variants with stainless steel inserts or specialist rubber compounds can be produced to resist oils, fuels or high temperatures.
- Are they suitable for use as machine feet? Yes. They are widely used as anti vibration feet for equipment, instruments and smaller machinery to reduce transmitted vibration. However we also offer Anti Vibration Levelling Feet as part of our wider vibration control range.
