HYBUFF G-series buffers
Our more standardised HYBUFF G-series buffers (where G stands for gas hydraulic buffers) have been developed to give you cost effective solutions for your energy absorption needs and can replace the most common brand on a ‘plug and play’ basis. They are ideal for applications where an energy stop device is needed and they have a robust design that offers strong resistance for higher forces.
How do they work?
The buffers have a cylinder filled with oil and a hollow piston rod. The piston rod contains the reservoir and a floating piston which separates oil and gas. The damping force is then achieved by a metering pin in the middle of the buffer that regulates the flow area, restricting it when the buffer is compressed.

A high spec as standard
The HYBUFF G-series buffers come with optimum corrosion protection included as standard − right up to ISO EN 12944 C5M, which is tough enough for harsh sea environments. The buffers also have an Ni-compound treated plunger, a stainless steel end cap and a front or back mount as standard. And, for the ultimate finishing touch, you can choose any colour paint for the cylinder – just give us your RAL number or Pantone reference!
There are then two optional extras available, namely a bellow and a safety chain.
