HTX Spare Rubber Buffer Kit

Protecting High-Load Traveller Systems

The Lewmar HTX Spare Rubber Buffer Kit is designed to maintain the protection and performance of Lewmar HTX beam and traveller systems by absorbing impact forces at the extremes of traveller movement. Engineered specifically for high-load and performance sailing applications, the buffer kit plays a critical role in preserving system integrity and long-term reliability.

Purpose-Designed Impact Absorption

The rubber buffers are positioned to cushion contact between traveller cars and end stops, reducing peak shock loads generated during aggressive trimming, accidental over-travel, or sudden sail load changes. This controlled energy absorption helps protect traveller cars, beam tracks, and surrounding deck structure from impact damage, particularly important on performance cruising and racing yachts carrying powerful sail plans.

HTX System-Specific Components

Manufactured to exact dimensional tolerances for use with Lewmar HTX traveller assemblies, the HTX Spare Rubber Buffer Kit ensures correct fit and consistent performance. Using genuine Lewmar replacement components maintains to the original design intent of the HTX system, ensuring predictable shock absorption and reliable traveller operation under load.

Durable Marine-Grade Materials

Produced from high-quality, marine-grade rubber compounds, the buffers are designed to withstand repeated compression, UV exposure, saltwater, and temperature variation without premature hardening or degradation. This durability supports long service life even in demanding off short environments and high-usage sailing programmes.

Maintenance & System Longevity

Regular inspection and replacement of worn rubber buffers is an essential part of traveller system maintenance. The Lewmar HTX Spare Rubber Buffer Kit provides a straightforward solution for restoring impact protection, helping reduce wear on expensive structural components and extending the life of the overall traveller system.

Application & Compatibility

Designed for use with Lewmar HTX beam track and traveller systems, the HTX Spare Rubber Buffer Kit is suitable for both new builds and professional refits, as well as routine maintenance on in-service yachts. Aan essential service item for sailors and boat builders seeking to maintain optimal performance, safety, and system longevity, backed by Lewmar’s proven expertise in high-load sail-handling hardware.
