Snubber Users, Look Here!

[Briar Hopper]

Hey guys, a search through the Grainger, McMaster-Carr, and Parker Hydraulics catalogs failed to turn up anything resembling a "snubber". Needle valves, yes, check valves, yes, but which one are you using? Got a brand name, and part number?

I'm certified in industrial hydraulics, and it's not a term we use on this end of the country. Two visits to hydraulic supply stores, and 5 phone calls, one to a guy with 30 years hydraulic experience, and nobody ever heard the term.

A more comprehensive, detailed explanation would be much appreciated by a few of us in the TDR ! It's been explained before, but no details were included.

Brand name, part number, real name as printed in catalog...

Thanks !

You searched for Keywords matching guage snubber.

Check your spelling. It's gauge, not guage as you have above. That's probably why it couldn't find it.



Edit - I just tried it using gauge snubber as keywords and it went right to it!

Thank you, Rusty! Much appreciated! Counterman at Grainger was less than helpful. If they haven't heard of it, they won't even bother to look for it ! I asked them twice...

Briar;



The <em>industrial</em> term may be damper or arrester. Snubber or bumper is more colloquial usage.



Grainger desk techs reminds me of Checker or Schucks or Krager counter people. Lights on , but ...

Here you go http://www.grainger.com/images/catalog/1421.GIF lower left corner. Gauge snubber is a item that is usually used with high pressure positive displacement sprayer pumps, never seen them used with hydraulics.



If you do a Granger search you only will get the Sun Hydraulics one. I recently found 1/8" M x F needle valves in the Grainger catalog for $3. 29, new item you won't find in a search. Perfect for a fuel pressure gauge. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/productdetail.jsp?xi=xi&ItemId=1612835462
