Shockbuffer offers a wide range of dampers for civil applications, including furniture dampers, seismic dampers and electrical dampers. Designed to reduce vibration, absorb shock and protect structural integrity, these solutions meet diverse needs in residential, commercial and industrial environments. Whether enhancing the stability of furniture, protecting buildings during seismic events or safeguarding electrical systems, our dampers provide reliable performance, durability and precision. Manufactured in accordance with industry standards, they ensure long-term safety and efficiency for modern infrastructure.
Civil Grade Shock Absorbers
Infrastructure & Buildings
-
Seismic Dampers (Buildings/Structures):
Installed in buildings and bridges to absorb and dissipate energy during earthquakes, protecting structural integrity. -
Bridge Expansion Joints & Vibration Dampers:
Accommodate thermal expansion and reduce oscillations caused by traffic and wind, ensuring longevity and safety. -
Industrial Chimneys/Stacks:
Dampers reduce wind-induced oscillations to prevent structural fatigue and collapse in tall chimneys. -
Historical Building Preservation:
Vibration isolation systems protect fragile structures and artifacts from damage caused by nearby construction or traffic.
Electrical Dampers for Circuit Breakers
-
In high-voltage systems, sudden actuation of circuit breaker levers generates intense mechanical shock and vibration.
-
Our Electrical Dampers (also known as circuit breaker shock absorbers) are engineered to absorb and control this rapid motion.
-
They smoothly dampen the lever’s movement, protecting critical switchgear components and reducing wear and tear.
-
This enhances operational reliability and ensures stable performance even under repeated fault operations.
-
Compact, robust, and maintenance-friendly, they help safeguard both equipment and personnel in demanding electrical environments.
-
These dampers provide an essential layer of mechanical protection for safe and efficient power distribution, suitable for retrofit or new switchgear designs.
Urban and Public Facilities
-
Elevator Systems:
Use dampers to ensure smooth, quiet movement and to safely decelerate in case of emergency stops. -
High-Rise Building Wind Dampers:
Tuned mass dampers reduce wind-induced sway in tall buildings, improving comfort for occupants. -
Parking Structures & Gates:
Use buffers and shock absorbers at gates or mechanical arms to prevent mechanical damage from collisions. -
Public Seating & Furniture:
Soft-close dampers are integrated into public-use seats, lids, and access panels for safety and durability.
Transport & Civil Equipment
-
Bridge Lifting Mechanisms:
Shock absorbers ensure smooth and safe lifting or tilting of large bridge sections during operation. -
Hydroelectric Dam Gate Control:
Dampers control the motion of sluice gates, preventing slamming and hydraulic shocks during opening or closing. -
Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) Buffers:
Used to absorb the kinetic energy of large components or shields in civil tunneling applications.
