Miner Elastomer Products Corporation is a division
of Miner Enterprises, a 118 year old company
founded on the basic principle of selling high-
quality products at competitive prices. TecsPak
was invented and patented by WH Miner Company
to provide dramatic improvements in the shock
absorbing capacity of railcar draft gears.
TecsPak® material is a highly
engineered elastomeric
product that absorbs
Design engineers continue to find innovative ways
to use TecsPak® to solve their energy management
problems. Tests have shown it is 10 times more
®
durable than rubber and 20 times more durable
than urethane. The extended product life cycle that
TecsPak® can provide is clearly important, yet just
as important is the design flexibility TecsPak® offers.
Due to its unique properties, TecsPak® has greater
energy absorbing capability than rubber or urethane
of equal volume or weight. Essentially, TecsPak®
can achieve the required performance using less
volume and weight than other technologies.

imaginable. Any application involving shock absorption or collision

protection is suitable for using TecsPak® General Bumpers. TecsPak®
General Bumpers far exceed the life of rubber and urethane bumpers.
TecsPak® General Bumpers are inert and performance is not affected
by dirt, oils, and other chemicals. TecsPak® General Bumpers are a cost
effective replacement for both rubber and urethane bumpers.

E-SPRINGS

TecsPak® E-Springs outperform conventional rubber, polyurethane and coiled steel by providing
greater energy absorption. TecsPak® E-Springs are one-third the weight of steel coil springs and
have superior endurance providing a more cost effective performance.

AXIAL BUMPERS

GBA bumpers and GBA-S bumpers offer a high energy absorbing bumper with less travel. These Axial
bumpers are ideal for use in Construction, Agricultural, Packaging equipment, Automation and Robotic
applications or any application where the energy of motion needs to be controlled.

Page 10 & 11

RADIAL BUMPERS

GBR-55 bumpers and GBR standard bumpers are ideal for applications that require
longer travel and softer entry. These Radial bumpers are perfect for Seating and Industrial
applications, Automation, Agriculture and Construction equipment.

Product Overview
MICRO BUMPERS HEAVY RADIAL BUMPERS

TecsPak® Micro Bumpers are perfect for end of stroke cushioning.
Their performance makes TecsPak® Micro Bumpers ideally suited
for mechanisms requiring smaller size and weight. The smallest
model is approximately the size of a pencil eraser and has a rated
energy capacity of 20 in-lbs (2.2 N-m).
Page 14
Heavy Radial Bumpers (HRB) are ideal for applications that
require high loads and limited travel. These bumpers are well
suited for applications in Agricultural, Construction and
Mining equipment.
Page 15

TECSPAK® CRANE BUMPERS

TecsPak® Crane Bumpers (TCB) are a proven, cost-effective choice for energy management
systems with excellent resistance to chemicals and humidity. These bumpers are designed to
meet the minimum requirements of existing industry standards — OSHA and CMAA.

Page 16

RADIAL TUBE BUMPERS

Radial Tube Bumpers (RTB) are designed for low end-load applications (1,500 to 63,000 lbs. uniformly loaded) the
radial tube bumpers are oval in shape and available in 6 to 42 inch lengths. Any application involving shock or collision
protection is suitable for using TecsPak® Radial Tube Bumpers.

Page 17

SUCKER ROD CUSHIONS

TecsPak® Sucker Rod Cushions (SRC) provide shock absorption solutions to enable pumping units
to produce more oil while reducing the KW requirements and relieving the amp spikes when the
counter weight changes velocity. In addition, TecsPak® Sucker Rod Cushions reduce the stresses
on the rod string preventing separation and breakage. Overall, TecsPak® Sucker Rod Cushions
reduce down-time and increase production.

 ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
YOU CAN USE
TecsPak® bumpers are highly engineered elastomeric products designed to absorb more energy per unit of weight and
volume than most known materials. TecsPak® bumpers are ideal for energy management problems involving shock
isolation, vibration isolation shock absorbers and return springs. In addition, the performance characteristics of TecsPak®
bumpers significantly outperform rubber, urethane and coiled steel. The unmatched durability, performance and design
flexibility provide the cost-effective solution to your energy absorption requirements.

TecsPak® is a patented thermoplastic elastomer originally developed for high end-load railroad applications. The unique
shape, combined with the proprietary processing of a TPEE based material, results in a bumper that precisely meets your
required load rates.

All TecsPak® data is based upon standard tests conducted at room temperature (70°F/21°C). However, there are many
applications where the product will be used at other temperatures. The following information is to be used as a guide in
evaluating the effect of temperature in selecting a product.

TecsPak®, like all elastomers, has a variable stiffness based upon temperature. Also, because our material absorbs energy
during deflection and converts this energy to heat (hysteresis), the temperature of the material will rise during use. For this
reason, as well as others, each bumper was tested four times from the free height to the solid height.

RADIAL TUBE
BUMPERS FOR LOW END-LOAD
APPLICATIONS

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

Designed for low end-load applications (1,500 to 42,700 lbs. uniformly loaded), the radial tube bumpers are oval in shape and available
in 6 to 42 inch lengths, with or without mounting holes. The standard durometer for all stock bumpers is 40D, with other durometers
available. Actual end-load capacities vary with the length and tube size. H G H
F
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS J

Any application involving shock or collision protection is suitable

for using TecsPak® Radial Tube Bumpers. Possibilities include:

A
• bumpers for construction and mining shovels

B
• dump body/chassis pads for haul trucks
• dock and rack bumpers for warehouses K
• bumpers and rub strips for material handling equipment E

 SUCKER ROD
CUSHIONS
Sucker Rod
Cushions

Miner Elastomer Products offers TecsPak® sucker rod shock absorption solutions
to enable pumping units to produce more oil while reducing the KW requirements
and easing the amp spikes when the counter weight changes velocity. In addition,
TecsPak® sucker rod shock absorbers reduce the stresses on the rod string reducing
separation and breakage. TecsPak® sucker rod shock absorbers are easily installed
and require no maintenance. TecsPak® sucker rod shock absorbers reduce down-
time and increase production.
