HD700 Series Buffers

For the highest energy capacity requirements

Oleo 700 Series buffers utilise multiple separate 70 Series energy-absorbing capsules arranged in a series (end-to-end) configuration. Engineered primarily for heavy-duty rail, industrial, and major crane buffer stop applications, these long-stroke units provide superior protection against high-mass and high-velocity impacts.

Key Technical & Design Features:

  • Extended Stroke Range: Available in stroke lengths from 800 mm to 3,000 mm, making them ideal for high-energy scenarios.

  • High Energy Absorption: Capable of absorbing up to 1,800 kJ of kinetic energy.

  • Industry Integration: Typically used for Buffer Stops for Rail, Industrial or Crane Applications.

  • Flexible Installation: Can be rigidly mounted onto either a custom steel fabrication or a reinforced concrete backing block.

Product Advantages

  • Can be impacted at a higher velocity than single capsule buffers (velocity is divided between each capsule).
  • Long life cycle reduces lifetime cost.
  • Performance can be optimised for one or more impact scenarios; reaction forces will then be optimal at any velocity.
  • Durable against prolonged exposure to chemical corrosion, weathering or UV radiation.
  • Negligible energy passed back to mass after impact.
