Hi All,

I am searching for product that work in similar way like a standard rubber buffer but with smaller force.
In my design a movable plate is mounted on elastic or visco-elastic material to the ground and can move relatively to the ground.
Max deflection of the plate equal 45 mm under acting load 50 N.
Do you know any existing product that meets my concern?

I found below vibroisolators with silicon as working material.
Did somebody has experience with such vibroisolators? Are they work under shear load?
