Cellasto® bump stops and end stops for a smoother and safer ride

Sudden stops are unavoidable, but they don’t have to be jarring. That’s why today’s innovators are using Cellasto® bump stops for a wide range of applications, from automotive interiors and power tools to suspension systems, elevators and cranes. To give your products a competitive boost, use this resilient elastomer to minimize mechanical impact and its resulting noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

What does a bump stop do?

When suspension springs and elevating systems reach their limits, they need to be able to stop without damage or noise. On a smaller scale, the fine operations in automotive interior and power tool movement also require controlled stopping. Cellasto® bump stops in both of these extremes have proven superior at providing safe and controlled impact buffering with its high compressibility.

Cellasto® maintains its progressive impact response through many more cycles than conventional elastomers, which protects users and equipment for longer thereby reducing maintenance. As a result, engineering your products with Cellasto® will ensure your team stays competitive in the global marketplace.
