Energy Kinetics Introduces High Performance Elastomer Bumpers

NAPERVILLE, IL -- Energy Kinetics Inc., long known for its engineered and extensive selection of off-the-shelf shock absorbers, now introduces four lines of high performance elastomer bumpers. Three distinct versions of load v. displacement characteristics are included in the line, in addition to a line designed specifically for overhead cranes. All bumper materials incorporate ultraviolet light inhibitors to increase product life in outdoor environments. Bumpers are made from an inert grade polyester polymer, making them lightweight, compact in size, and exceptionally durable. These bumpers are field-proven to have more energy absorbing capacity per volume and weight than comparable rubber or urethane counterparts. In addition to a large inventory ready for timely shipping, Energy Kinetics offers custom designs and prototypes with short delivery times. Free estimates and engineering assistance in sizing products to applications is offered along with static and dynamic load/deflection data sheets for each bumper.
