Fairlane Products, a North American supplier of workholding technologies and machine tool components, provides a wide range of bumpers in different styles such as round, square, rectangular, custom cut, and materials all designed to protect parts from being marred, scratched, or otherwise damaged during the manufacturing process.
Fairlane Product bumpers are designed to guard, stop, align, and protect a machine or work piece. They are designed to integrate well into an industrial application or commercial end product. These industrial bumpers are available in off-the-shelf standard sizes and are also offered in special cut sizes to meet custom requirements. Fairlane Products maintains a large ready-to-ship inventory of bumper products, and they are an economical alternative in many applications to eliminate the need for custom-engineered molded components.
The round styles are permanently bonded to a steel core and are available in male, female, and plate-mounted. They range in diameters from 3/4" to 4" and 32mm to 57mm. Female mounting styles come in either flush mount or hex stand-off while male versions are permanently bonded to a steel core with a variety of stud threads and lengths.
Rectangular and square bumpers are available with or without metal plate backing. Without plate backing offers the benefit of no rust, with plate backing provides greater rigidity. Both are available with C ’Bore holes for top-side mounting. The rectangular versions are available in lengths from 3/4" to 2 1/2" with lengths to 2". The square 1-7/8" and plate mount to 4".
Both square and rectangular bumpers are available in black neoprene, white nitrile, and colored urethane in 60 and 80 durometers. The black neoprene bumpers are flame resistant, while also resisting gasoline, oil, and high temperatures. The white nitrile is resistant to gasoline, oil, alcohol, and abrasion. The urethane bumpers offer high abrasion resistance, strength, and load bearing and provide high elongation hardness with a resistance to ozone and oxygen degradation.
Custom cut bumpers are available in various dimensions, shapes, and sizes to meet specific needs. Custom bumpers have an 1/8" aluminum plate backing.
In addition to rectangular, square, and round bumpers, Fairlane Products also designs and manufactures a wide range of workholding and positioning components, rollers, replaceable grippers, rest pads, Swivots, covered bearings, quick releases, ball lock pins, workholding grippers, TG GripSerts, and GP-series gripper pads.
