rubber bushes/ stud mounts help

[weldingscotty803]

i am in need of something like below
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=2951843
its going to be used as a shock absorberfor our new pipe trolly.
the pipe falls from around 800mm height onto wooden stillages which are held in place with some steel channel. to absorb some of the shock energy etc i thought these might work. thought about springs first but mounting would be a problem.
some of the pipe weighs in excess of 200kg per 6 meter length. 3 stillages are used for these. i was thinking of using the stud mounts

any ideas?

Has it got to look a "proppa" job? - if not how about some old car tyres, cheap and effective!

How about some of these shock absorbers.

Might be worth having a look at this company, I've used their stuff before and can recommend them (I have no connection with them)

How about some of these shock absorbers.

they need to be small. under 70mm high

bit too technical
i just want some rubber dampers or similar that will absorb most of the shock.
nothing fancy, max of 70mm high

What about some big spongy tyres on it?

Suspension bump stops ? ........ Easy to fix by the look of them.

 

[weldingscotty803]

it is going to be sandwiched between two pieces of steel.so it must either have two fixings male or female. or a hole to pass through.
look at the picture below
http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/album.php?albumid=863&pictureid=2598
in the background there is a tilt table, which is i a V shape then the pipe hits a stop which flops down one side
then it rolls down the black blocks (at the side of the blue box)
then falls onto that piece of wood on the trolly
what i am trying to do is reduce the shock factor on the pipe as it falls.
the new trolly i am going to build will be nearly the same as this one but a bit simpler.
just to the right of daves head there is a channel upright welded to the horizontal. this is where i am going to be mounting the rubber things, underneath the horizontal channel.
hopefully you understand what i am blabbering about

Why not buy some PU potting compound, cast your own? But bump stops would be the way to go, if you can get some long enough.

Engine or gearbox mounts, Land Rover ones are cheap about £4 each with postage on ebay.

 

[weldingscotty803]

thats more like it.but with two studs not one
or do they have two studs?

 

[pedrobedro]

They have one sticking out both sides with the rubber in the middle, from the description "Thickness/height: 37mm
Diameter: 77mm
Studs: M10 x 20mm Male both sides"
Another very similar cheap alternative is Fiesta gearbox mounts.

 

[weldingscotty803]

ahhhh
but there for work
will have a word wi them tomorrow,
that jobs been put on the backburner for a while. as f£%£"!ng usual. p!5535 me off when they ask for a new design and drawing, then i get the material bill done etc. get the all clear, then they tell me to look at summat else
anyway
